The Supreme Court
The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America | Jeffrey Rosen
4 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
A compelling character-driven history of the Supreme Court traces its evolution from the perspective of the personal, philosophical, political, and judicial rivalries on the bench that transformed the law--from the conflict between Chief Justice John Marshall and Thomas Jefferson, to present-day tensions between conservatives William H. Rehnquist and Antonin Scalia. 75,000 first printing.

The whole article is kind of interesting (https://www.vox.com/scotus/2023/6/29/23778728/supreme-court-samuel-alito-groff-dejoy-religion-accomodations-workplace) but this first bit did actually make me laugh (in a laugh-so-you-don‘t-cry kind of way)

Just in case you needed a reminder that elections have consequences, 2 of the 3 dissenting Supreme Court jusices in Monday's LGBTQ ruling are Bush (Sr & Jr) appointees. Alito has been on the court for 14 years. Thomas for 29 years. This ruling was an undeniable victory for the LGBTQ community, but the fact that there were dissenting votes about employers discriminating is worrisome. This is not a liberal court. Vote!

I found this to be an interesting look at the Supreme Court. It deals with rivalries between the justices themselves and with the Executive Branch. 10/15 #Jumpstart2020
