"No one combines legal expertise and peerless investigative talent like the brilliant and brave Lisa Graves, who proves beyond reasonable doubt that Justice John Roberts has acted as a political animal throughout his career. An eye-popping can't-put-it-down account, Without Precedent is a must-read for everyone who knows something has gone terribly wrong with the U.S. Supreme Court yet doesn't understand why. I had to remind myself to breathe while reading this tour de force about the near ruin of our country that Roberts and his Federalist Society supermajority have wrought."--Nancy MacLean, author of Democracy in Chains
"A vigorous takedown of the chief justice of the United States."--Kirkus

Graves' Without Precedent reveals how Chief Justice Roberts and the other right-wing justices mangled the Constitution in service to a group of shadowy billionaire extremists."--Sheldon Whitehouse, U.S. Senator, Rhode Island

Now she tells the inside story. Anyone concerned about justice in America should read it."--Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money, Chief Washington Correspondent, The New Yorker Magazine
