Today is the release date for Jan Crawford Greenburg's new book on the Supreme Court, Supreme Conflict. Amazon delivered it this afternoon, and so far I have read about 40 pages and skimmed another 50. So far it's a must-read. Greenburg's sourcing is incredible, as nine Justices and lots of other insiders agreed to talk with her. (I gather that the nine Justices includes eight of the current Justices plus O'Connor.) If you're a Supreme Court geek, you need this book.

  UPDATE: Via Howard, here is a long excerpt from the beginning of the book. Check it out.
