Ruth Marcus, a syndicated columnist for The Washington Post and deputy editor of the editorial page, has covered every major institution in Washington, including the Supreme Court, the White House, and Congress, and has written about judicial confirmation battles stretching back to Robert Bork in 1987. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in commentary in 2007.
“Fast-paced, fair-minded, and news-making, Ruth
Marcus’s Supreme Ambition goes behind the scenes with all
sides in the confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh and tells a
revealing tale about judges, justice, and the future of the Supreme
Court.”
— Jeffrey Toobin, New York Times bestselling author
of The Nine and American Heiress
“Ruth Marcus’s Supreme Ambition is at once an
electrifying account of a flawed judicial nomination
and a revealing study of morally corrupt Republicans, and at
times politically inept Democrats, in a dysfunctional U.S.
Senate.”
— David Maraniss, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Barack
Obama: The Story and First in His Class
“Shrewd, fair, and surprising, both a morality play and a political
knife fight, this tale explains how we got here, and challenges us
to think about how to adapt our institutions to forces that
threaten them.”
— Nancy Gibbs, New York Times bestselling coauthor
of The Presidents Club
“Very tough but fair-minded, a wise history. Clearly the best of
the Kavanaugh books.”
— Bob Woodward, New York Times bestselling author
of Fear: Trump in the White House
"Extraordinarily detailed and highly insightful."
— Washington Post
"Impressively reported, highly insightful and a rollicking good
read."
— New York Times Book Review
"Powerful, meticulously researched...An illuminating and evenhanded
look at an incendiary event."
