Americans increasingly believe the Supreme Court is a political body in disguise. But Justice Stephen Breyer disagrees. Arguing that judges are committed to their oath to do impartial justice, Breyer aims to restore trust in the Court. In the absence of that trust, he warns, the Court will lose its authority, imperiling our constitutional system.

Reviews
Breyer...has thought deeply about judicial power, the rule of law, and the role of the judiciary in the American polity...His voice is a powerful one, and the brevity of this book, together with its readability, should ensure its lasting influence...An important document on American civics.
