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.
