Why read it?
1 author picked The Supermajority as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Every American needs to understand the current Supreme Court's aggressive new “supermajority.”
The Court has quickly implemented far-reaching changes, eliminating reproductive rights; overturning gun safety laws; and sharply limiting the government’s authority to respond to crises ranging from COVID to climate change.
Michael Waldman brilliantly analyzes the new Court. He vividly places it in historical context, and, drawing on past eras, highlights possible democratic responses. In addition to illuminating the current moment, the book is a superb, readable, and highly informative one-volume history of the Supreme Court.
From Cliff's list on understanding the Supreme Court.
