funny informative medium-paced

As Strict Scrutiny would say, this book is "about the United States Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it." Told with Leah Litman's signature dark humor and SO MANY pop culture references (which I loved, but was honestly impressed by the number), this book covers some of the changes in the modern Supreme Court and how it has taken a lawless approach to recent essential cases. It is incredibly smart, distilling complex topics into easy to understand chapters. I will say as an avid listener to Strict Scrutiny, and after going through law school during many of the cases in the book and summarizing the rest of them at work later on, this book did not touch on any topics that surprised me. But if you are wondering why the Supreme Court is making so many out of pocket decisions, this is the book for you!

Thank you to Atria and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
