Christopher Buckley delivers comic justice in ‘Supreme Courtship’

Imagine if TV courtroom queen Judge Judy looked like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, drove a cherry-red pickup and was appointed to the Supreme Court. This hot bench scenario provides the basis for Christopher Buckley’s new comic novel, Supreme Courtship.

A movie review written in elementary school that describes To Kill a Mockingbird as “kind of boring” dooms one candidate.
