The Brethren by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong
The Brethren is expose written by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong about the supreme court during the years 1969 -1975, when the country was going thru the Watergate controversy,abortion rights, carrying out the desegreation act, and deciding to allow the death penalty. As you read through the Brethren you see the Supreme Court without their robes. You go into the conference room and hear every remark whether idiotic or heroic.Astonishingly you see that sometimes the most important cases are voted unanimously because of switching sides so they may recievethe power of majority, or trying not to get on the disfactory side of the Chief. The Brethren illustrares how the supreme court works and the many maladroit ways it doesn’t.You get to discover dissents, opinons and the famous memorandums which is the second language of the court. The book start off with the ending the Warren Court who tried cases on racial discrimination, banned prayers from public schoools and fought to give constitutional guarntees to african-americans, poor people and communists. Th Chief Burger tried to out top. Nixon’s prequistres for Chief Justice was to fulfill his campaign promise (when the court is supposed to be stare decisis ), to have clearly defined views, an experienced jdge, reliable and to top it off predictable plus it seemed like he wanted to fill the court with right wings. The book bascially tells the decisions and nuts and bolts of the court. Among Chief Justice Burger through the years there was Harlan, White, Stewart, Marshall, Black, Douglas,Rehnquist, Powell, Brennan, Fortas and Stewart. Each with their own personality and agenda.We see Justices compromising and neogiting and worst of all policting.

The book I read was The Brethren, by John Grisham.It was a suspense book.Three judges, called The Brethren by their fellow prisoners, lived in a very minimal security prison.They had just begun fine – tuning a mail scam that extorted homosexuals with families and lots of money.Then, they snag the wrong person, someone very powerful on the outside.It seems The Brethren's days of scamming are over.
This was a great book for many reasons.Thefirst reason is it was sort of double sided.What I mean by that is it explained 2 stories at once, the story of Aaron Lake and the story of The Brethren.I liked this because it helped to understand the situation a lot better.It also helped understand the characters a lot more too.Another thing I liked about this book is the fact that the scam was brilliant.The Brethren had nothing to loose because they were already in prison, and they had so much to gain.These (the victims of the scam) were people who couldn't talk against The Brethren for fear of being caught by their families.One example of the fact that the victims couldn't report this to the police was when The Brethren snagged Quince Garbe, who lived in a small town and who's father owned a bank. If Quince spoke out against The Brethren, he would loose his father's inheritance to the bank, and the whole town would disrespect him.After he gave the Brethren their asking price of $100,000, they immediately asked for another $20,000.He had no choice but to pay them.Another reason I liked this book was it showed how corrupt our government could be.Aaron Lake pretty much bought the election, getting almost 60 million dollars from defense contractors in return to double the military budget.Of course, he did have quite a bit of help from the C.I.A. who staged events in the Middle East to increase enthusiasm for the doubled military budget.
