Synopsis

In this national bestseller, discover how the left’s partisan push to pack the Supreme Court with liberal justices has fully migrated from the fringes into the mainstream of Democratic politics. It wasn’t long ago that liberal icons, including the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, were against the idea of overhauling the court for political gain. But now, in the Biden era, more and more powerful Democrats are getting behind the cause, claiming the high court is broken and actively dismantling our democracy. Even Joe Biden—who once called court-packing a “bonehead idea”—gave in to the progressive wing of his party, appointing a committee to examine “reforms” to the court after being sworn in as president.
 
What changed? Mike Lee, a respected member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reveals the answer to that question and warns of the dangerous norm-shattering precedent that would be set by politically motivated attempts to turn the Supreme Court into just another partisan weapon.

In Saving Nine, Senator Mike Lee offers a well reasoned and well written rebuttal to the concept of “court packing”. The book starts out with a comprehensive history of the Court itself, and how the number of justices eventually settled at nine (the Constitution never defined how many justices there......more

Goodreads review by Linda on December 05, 2023

Not nearly as inflammatory as the title would lead you to believe, “Saving Nine: The Fight Against the Left’s Audacious Plan to Pack the Supreme Court” is really an history lesson about the highest court in our land; how it began, how it evolved, and how it’s been tried to be used for political pers......more

Goodreads review by Brent on June 09, 2023

Senator Mike Lee, who clerked for Justice Alito on the United States Supreme Court, gives a clear tutorial on the history of the Supreme Court, the size of the Court throughout history, and why there is a push by the Democrats to add seats to the Court. I am an attorney who majored in Political Scien......more

Goodreads review by Emmet on July 12, 2023

It’s decent. The subtitle is a little misleading, as only the latter half or so of the book actually discusses court packing efforts, and only SOME of that (maybe 20% of the whole book) is actually about any modern efforts in that vein. The analysis is blatantly partisan throughout most of the book,......more
