"This is the best-and, I must admit, only-novel I've ever read that deftly utilizes the possible reversal of a decision by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the Establishment Clause as a plot device within a light romantic comedy." -Chuck Klosterman, Author of "I Wear the Black Hat" and "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs"

"Tuttle in the Balance is a comic masterpiece, fast-paced, hilarious, worthy of Evelyn Waugh, P.G.Wodehouse, or Kingsley Amis. A pungent satire of the Supreme Court, it manages to persuade the reader that the job of a Supreme Court Justice can be really boring, that the Court's decisions often have little to do with "law" in the conventional sense--that as Justice Tuttle, the protagonist, says at one point: "I never liked constitutional law. It's barely law at all, in my view. It's just politics, filtered through a few vague phrases in an old document written by people who couldn't possibly fathom what the world is like today"--all of which is true. The book has everything--fisticuffs in the Court's conference room (recalling the fisticuffs in the War Room in Dr. Strangelove), a midlife crisis, sex, booze, gambling in Atlantic City casinos, a car crash, bemused law clerks, a Justice Scalia look-alike, an unlikable female Chief Justice, and--not least--three cats, all in major roles. A movie can be expected." -Richard Allen Posner, Judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago
