The Supreme Court is by any definition the most important branch of government. Somewhere in this brilliant, hilarious, impossible-to-put-down-to say nothing of moderately priced-new book of mine, the narrator notes that appointing a Supreme Court justice is pretty much the most consequential thing a president can do, short of declaring nuclear war more to the point, that this fact is generally pointed out every four years by whoever is running second in the presidential election. Supreme Courtship is another classic Christopher Buckley comedy about the Washington institutions most deserving of ridicule. Will Pepper, a vivacious Texan, survive a Senate confirmation battle? Will becoming one of the most powerful women in the world ruin her love life? Soon, Pepper finds herself in the middle of a constitutional crisis, a presidential reelection campaign that the president is determined to lose, and oral arguments of a romantic nature. After one nominee is rejected for insufficiently appreciating To Kill a Mockingbird, the president chooses someone so beloved by voters that the Senate won't have the nerve to reject her-Judge Pepper Cartwright, star of the nation's most popular reality show. President Donald Vanderdamp is having a hell of a time getting his nominees onto the Supreme Court.
