Book Presentation: Supreme Chaos by Charles Willis Pickering
Book Abstract
Supreme Chaos is Pickering’s observation of the chaotic and broken judicial confirmation process. The emerging culture wars have created a power struggle between the Right and Left and their target is the judicial system. He sees a battle to maintain the intent of the constitution and live by the rule of law against the liberal activists who want a ‘living constitution,’ one that changes with the changing moods and views of activist judges.
Pickering chronicles how special interest groups have manipulated the legislative process to undermine our Founding Father’s ideal. Using his own experience, as well as many other examples, Pickering shows how integrity and ability are no longer the qualifications for judges. He asserts that activist groups want activist judges who will do for them what they can’t get Congress to do. Pickering believes it is changing our judicial system for the worse and degrading the civility of our society in general.

Summary of Supreme Chaos (Charles Willis Pickering)
The Problem
The judicial process is broken and badly in need of being fixed. What used to be a respectful legislative proceeding has now become a partisan conflict that leaves the reputations of nominees battered. The character assassinations by special interest groups and the media they fool into believing them have degraded the quality, independence, diversity and integrity of the American judiciary.
