Özet
Justice on Trial, the definitive insider's account of Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court, is based on extraordinary access to more than one hundred key figures--including the president, justices, and senators--in that ferocious political drama.
The Trump presidency opened with the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to succeed the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. But the following year, when Trump drew from the same list of candidates for his nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, the justice being replaced was the swing vote on abortion, and all hell broke loose.
The judicial confirmation process, on the point of breakdown for thirty years, now proved utterly dysfunctional. Unverified accusations of sexual assault became weapons in a ruthless campaign of personal destruction, culminating in the melodramatic hearings in which Kavanaugh's impassioned defense resuscitated a nomination that seemed beyond saving.
The Supreme Court has become the arbiter of our nation's most vexing and divisive disputes. With the stakes of each vacancy incalculably high, the incentive to destroy a nominee is nearly irresistible. The next time a nomination promises to change the balance of the Court, Hemingway and Severino warn, the confirmation fight will be even uglier than Kavanaugh's.
A good person might accept that nomination in the naïve belief that what happened to Kavanaugh won't happen to him because he is a good person. But it can happen, it does happen, and it just happened. The question is whether America will let it happen again.

It's scary that one day, someone can accuse you of a serious crime 36 years ago, not knowing where it was, not knowing when it was, not knowing how she left that place, with all witnesses denying, with no corroborating evidence, while being caught in several lies in the process - and still convince the elite classes that you are completely guilty, and that these are 'credible' accusations, simply because they want to believe it regardless of the evidence.
The audio quality is not the best, but it's still good. There are two narrators (the authors) who take turns narrating chapters, which worked surprisingly well. The two authors are conservatives, and the book is written from a conservative perspective, but they limit their bias to their opinions.

Maybe countries run by engineers and scientists give a much fairer system of justice. The one thing in the US or Europe you can be confident of, is that lawyers are self righteous, greedy and thugs
