Synopsis

In bestselling author Christopher Buckley's hilarious novel, the President of the United States, ticked off at the Senate for rejecting his nominees, decides to get even by nominating America's most popular TV judge to the Supreme Court.

President Donald Vanderdamp is having a hell of a time getting his nominees onto 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 nerve to reject her--Judge Pepper Cartwright, star of the nation's most popular reality show. Will Pepper, a vivacious Texan, survive a Senate confirmation battle? Will becoming one of the most powerful women in the world ruin her love life? 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. Supreme Courtship is another classic Christopher Buckley comedy about the Washington institutions most deserving of ridicule.

BookLender review by Dutch on 2010-06-18 14:21:18

I don't really care if, as one reviewer sniffed, this is not one of Chris Buckley's better books. As read by Anne Heche it is sweet, clever, touching and delightfully hilarious. If you don't fall in love with Heche's rendering of Supreme Court nominee Pepper Cartwright, you are one sad or lobotomized individual. The characters Heche creates are wonderfully varied and fit Buckley's writing perfectly. This is a perfect summertime listen.
