In 2022, the Court’s conservative supermajority radically loosened gun safety laws, overturned the constitutional right to abortion, and limited the federal government’s power to fight climate change.

And the most extreme Supreme Court in decades is on the verge of changing the nation — again.
Next up: redistricting, voting rights, and affirmative action — and the potential to fundamentally alter how the country deals with racial justice.

How did we get here? How will overreach by the justices impact the 2024 election? And what can we do to protect American democracy from a deeply political, fiercely partisan Supreme Court?

Join us for a discussion on Brennan Center President Michael Waldman’s new book, "The Supermajority: How the Supreme Court Divided America, about the Court’s devastating 2021–2022 term."
