This book is a collection of opinions and dissents from 25 cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, each including the phrase "red herring". Includes opinions written by Justices Douglas, Marshall, White, Rehnquist, Scalia, Stevens, Alito, Souter, Breyer, Thomas, Brennan and Chief Justice Roberts and joined by Justices Ginsburg, Kagan, Kennedy and Sotomayor. The rhetoric of the Court can seem dry and fishy but these "red herring" cases provide moments of salty distraction.
