President of the United States Donald Vanderdamp is having a difficult time getting his nominees appointed to the Supreme Court. 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 guts to reject her -- Judge Pepper Cartwright, the star of the nation's most popular reality show, Courtroom Six.
Will Pepper, a straight-talking Texan, survive a confirmation battle in the Senate? Will becoming one of the most powerful women in the world ruin her love life? And even if she can make it to the Supreme Court, how will she get along with her eight highly skeptical colleagues, including a floundering Chief Justice who, after legalizing gay marriage, learns that his wife has left him for another woman.
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.
This book is a satirical look at the Presidency, Supreme Court, reality televisions, and America as a whole was already funny to me. Here Christopher Buckley do a good job with the funny as he pokes jabs at nearly every corner of DC. While the plot was somewhat farcical the idea itself is just crazy enough to work and that in and of itself was hilarious. The dialogue was often funny but slowed down in the Supreme Court scenes and was, too me, overly political that the jokes might have went over my head or just simply missed the mark. I enjoyed this but I'm not sure how many of these types of politically based fiction books I could read. Overall, a funny plot with some lagging dialogue. A pretty good book.
This is the first of Buckley's books that I have read, but it probably will not be the last. The book is a mockery of American politics, and the humor is witty and intelligent. Supreme Courtship is an easy to follow, wickedly funny satire.
