However, since then I went to college, got degrees in political science and history, so this sort of thing is now in my wheelhouse. I don't say that to brag, I'm just trying to provide a little context/perspective so you know why I would be interested in reading this book. It isn't for everyone, admittedly. It's pretty involved and detail-oriented, but to tell this story properly, it needs to be.I have to give Jeffrey Toobin a ton (seriously, like a metric ton) of credit for taking on this mammoth project. Oof. The amount of material he must have consumed to be able to write this book had to have been absolutely overwhelming. Hats off to him. I like Toobin a lot (he's a writer and a commentator who also wrote the book on OJ the docu-series was based on) and this book didn't change that opinion. He definitely did a good job making this story one you could understand (and follow). That's not to say it's an easy, breezy read, because it certainly is not. It's a complex story with lots of actors and events to keep track of. But it's a story that, from my point of view, people should know. Interestingly, some of the players are still actively part of the political process today (think Ted Cruz).Why does Bush v. Gore matter Partly because it had an undermining effect on the election process, considering the role of the courts as well as the complicated relationships involving some of the parties involved in this case. The Supreme Court chose to end the recount, on a somewhat shaky legal argument, and did so by a 5-4 vote. So, basically, the 2000 election was decided because of the vote of one Supreme Court justice (it's often misstated that the Supreme Court "chose" the winner, which it did not. Its decision stopped the counting of votes in FL, which resulted in Bush being declared the winner.). Because the 5 majority votes were votes of the "conservative" justices, the decision is widely viewed as political, and as an (undesirable) example of judicial activism vs. judicial conservatism. But, let's not get into the nuts and bolts of Bush v. Gore. I don't want to ruin it for you.I think every political junkie should read this book. It's fascinating, frustrating and, for some, it might even be maddening. This was truly a bizarre moment in U.S. politics, and it's odd that an event which determined the outcome of a presidential election is not more widely known/understood.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.Well Written But Point of View Is ClearBy Mikemac09As an attorney, the US Supreme Court's decision in Bush vs. Gore has rankled me since it was handed down in 2000. I learned a lot of "inside baseball" by reading this well written book.The book confirms that this was essentially the Republican justices outvoting their Democratic counterparts on a question of interpreting Florida law, which should never have gotten beyond the Florida Supreme Court. Jeffrey Toobin reports that former clerks for conservative Justices encouraged friends in the Bush campaign to take the state law case all the way to the US Supreme Court. Then the conservative Justices acted with unseemly haste by jumping into this dispute before it was anywhere near ripe for consideration at the US Supreme Court's level.Toobin's book is based mostly on information about the Gore legal team's strategy and approach, with much less about the Bush side. Toobin's bias seeps out in his consistent criticism of the poor fight that Gore himself put up. Despite receiving more ballots in his favor, based on the fairly obvious intent of the disputed votes, Gore was finally declared the loser of an election that he probably won. It's as if Gore let down Toobin as well as that narrow majority of voters who voted for Gore.The perspective of the intervening 13 years until now shows that our country is even more polarized than the Justices who decided this crucial election based mainly on politics. As a lawyer, I had hoped that Justices at the US Supreme Court level would rule based on the facts and law presented to them, regardless of the political affiliation of the parties making the arguments. To render a 5-4 decision based on convoluted reasoning still makes this election difficult to stomach years later.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Great new detailsBy Beverly H. TatumI know the story but there were far more details here I learned. It brought back the entire incredulousness and anger of the Supreme Court hearing the case rather forcing a real recount. Maybe Bush would still have won but the Supreme Court has NO authority to appoint a President. God, look what Bush did to our nation - disasters on every level.See all 84 customer reviews...
