President of the United States Donald Vanderdamp is having a
hell of a 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.
Supreme Courtship is another classic Christopher
Buckley comedy about the Washington institutions most
deserving of ridicule.
