Alito

The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution

De: Mollie Hemingway

Narrado por: Mollie Hemingway

From an award-winning journalist, the authoritative—and explosive—inside story of Justice Samuel Alito and his powerful role in shaping the Supreme Court.

Justice Samuel Alito, the unflinching author of the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, is so influential that many now refer to the “Alito Court.” But his powerful role, long overlooked, has aroused the ire of activists outraged by the emergence of a cohesive conservative majority on the court.

In this first comprehensive study of Alito, Mollie Hemingway explains how his common sense and prosecutorial experience, combined with fearless intellectual rigor, have shaped the man and the jurist. Through the lens of Alito’s judicial career, Hemingway provides a fresh perspective on the political, social, and legal battles that have unsettled the Supreme Court and the nation.

From menacing mobs encamped outside the justices’ homes to senators bellowing violent threats on the steps of the court itself, Alito offers a captivating insider account of the Supreme Court under unprecedented attack in a polarized age.

Few would have predicted that the modest and reserved judge who joined the high court with little fanfare two decades ago would lead the originalists to their astonishing ascendancy, but Hemingway’s compelling portrait reveals an intellect and character that make such leadership seem inevitable.

Honest and rich with quotes

What a delight is was to discover the shining courage of the originalist justices and the heroic leadership of Sam Alito on the court. Mollie reads as well as she writes.

Very fair analysis of Justice ALITO but also of other Justices and in depth analysis of major
Cases. .

Amazingly engaging!

I loved everything about this book! I loved learning about the processes of the Supreme Court, details about so many decisions but mostly to get to know in a small way the Alitos - thank you for who you are!

Compelling Read

I loved the way the author wove details about Justice Alito’s life outside the court with the compelling narratives of the complicated events in the court’s cases. I usually prefer a professional narrator to the author’s narration, but in this case Hemingway was the perfect choice to read her own book.

Outstanding Book!

I learned so much from this! The author writes in an engaging and compelling manner that make the book fun to listen to. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
