Well, it's interesting: on Thurs. some 40 of us from UD met for about 2 hours with Justice Thomas (this is the second time I've done so in the last two years). Both times he's said the same thing: "Those who write about the Court have absolutely no clue what they are talking about, and almost never have even read the decisions." He also said that he deplored the politicization of the confirmation process, and that it was all about abortion (duh).

But he said three or four times, "Don't believe ANYTHING you read about the Court." He said again that opinions are never, ever changed in oral arguments, and that he has never, ever seen an opinion change in the discussion among the justices, which, he says, is extremely brief. There is absolutely no "one-on-one" buttonholing, either.

I was listening to Dennis Prager interview her and she got "unprecedented" access to the justices and their papers (8 out of the nine justices). I've not read it yet, but it's gotten very good reviews.
