A diminutive blonde with a Betty White smile, Edie Windsor is an unlikely legal titan. On her bed are two books — Keeping Faith with the Constitution, by a trio of liberal scholars, and The Oath, by CNN's Supreme Court analyst, Jeffrey Toobin. She also reads her lawyers' drafts of briefs and sends back comments.
