The forward by Howard Zinn foreshadows a gripping, dramatic lead into what is ahead. Peter Irons makes it clear at the outset: he believes the Constitution is a breathing document that should follow social change. The book is strongest when Irons takes a moment to reflect on the structural inequalities that Supreme Court justices have perpetuated. He adopts a “no excuses” mentality towards notable figures, such as Chief Justice John Marshall, by calling them out for their neutrality in civil rights cases that had damaging consequences for marginalized communities. Some chapters were dry (contract cases, estate and property law cases) but his sociological perspective on precedent, judicial nominations, and the country’s changing political landscape made it well worth the read.

A people's history of the Supreme Court

Her jokes are tired, old, race baiting, unfunny dribble. It's a constant cycle of her reminding us that "LOOK AT ME I'M A WOMAN ON LATE NIGHT TV.. AND I'M NOT WHITE"... Followed up with every non white comedians go to topic.. "Let's compare races and how they act. "white people be like X, while 'black and brown people be like Y"... then she goes back to reminding up that shes a woman again on late night TV... then she does the "White people do things different then brown people" jokes again...LASTLY she steals/reuses jokes that have been told on Reddit, TikTok & other online social media sites for years, and passes them off as her own material. You'd find better & fresher material reading it straight from the internet
