DESCRIPTION:The headlines out of the Supreme Court lately are jarring: gun rights 
 expanded, reproductive rights rolled back decades, racial justice and 
 voting rights tossed aside. Driven by the majority’s originalist ideals, 
 nine unelected justices who hold lifetime power are rapidly upending 
 American life as we know it. How did we get here, and what can we do to 
 protect democracy?\n\nToday's Court is the most extreme in decades. A new 
 book, The Supermajority: How the Supreme Court Divided America, by Brennan 
 Center for Justice President Michael Waldman, takes us through the history 
 of the nation’s highest court and details what reforms must be made to 
 restore balance to our government. Timed with what is sure to be a 
 consequential slew of opinions this June, Waldman — who served on the 
 Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States — 
 provides a deeply researched analysis of the Court’s radical shift 
 rightward and the fierce partisan politics that led us to this divisive 
 moment.\n\nJoin us for a live virtual event on Wednesday, June 21, at 10 AM 
 PT (1 PM ET). Waldman will be joined by Kareem Crayton, the Brennan 
 Center’s senior director for voting and representation. Together, they 
 will explore the threat the current Court poses and what can be done to 
 shore up democracy. The conversation will be led by moderator Troy 
 McKenzie, dean of the NYU School of Law.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n--Michael 
 Waldman, President, Brennan Center; Author of The Supermajority: How the 
 Supreme Court Divided America\n\n--Kareem Crayton, Senior Director for
