The chapter on how every justice on the court got confirmed since Bork got Borked was fascinating to see how the court has become a political play thing. Both parties have ratcheted it up in their own ways. Starting with Bork always seemed like Dems would escalate more aggressively while the GOP would often respond in kind. But the GOP has never been as vicious as Dems were to Bork, Thomas, or Kavanaugh.

Ch. 12 explains how our federal system has gotten so out of whack in the last 50 years so excellently. From the Warren court just reading new rights into the Constitution, Congress no longer responding or desiring to respond to the courts' statutory interpretation cases, campaign finance reforms hollowing out parties, gerrymandering making primaries more important than general elections, and cable news/social media.
