CONFIRMATION BIAS Inside Washington's War Over the Supreme Court, from Scalia's Death to Justice Kavanaugh

Fred Sanders's excellent narration has the serious tone you'd expect in an audio about the high-stakes political wars surrounding recent Supreme Court nominations. As the author describes legislative battles over nominees from Merrick Garland to Brett Kavanaugh, Sanders's seriousness wavers little but is always easy to hear and entirely appropriate for the level of gravitas and drama. Veteran Capitol Hill reporter Carl Hulse has been covering this kind of partisan conflict for 30 years, so he has lots of fascinating stories that have not been previously reported. His insights about the politicians involved are priceless. With a performance from Sanders that captures all of the interpersonal dynamics and vitriol associated with SCOTUS nominations, this is a priceless glimpse into how people get elevated to our highest court.
