Summary: The last few terms of the Supreme Court have been the most turbulent in memory. The Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade; the decision was leaked by someone still unknown; and the justices turned on each other in public. The supermajority fully embraced an "originalist" legal theory that will affect thousands of cases throughout the country and opened the door to reconsideration of other major privacy rights. The Court demonstrated its enormous power to affect our lives, which has no parallel in any other democracy. But as Michael Waldman makes clear, the American public can still respond when the Supreme Court veers away from the popular will. The Supermajority is a brilliant, incisive examination of the Supreme Court at a time when its dysfunction.
