The September book selection is Justice on the Brink: The Death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Rise of Amy Coney Barrett, and Twelve Months That Transformed the Supreme Court by Linda Greenhouse (NYT reporter on the Supreme Court), November 9, 2021<br /><br />“Linda Greenhouse has written what is, hands down, the best book about the Supreme Court, its inner dynamics, and its place in the nation’s political and social life at least since Alexander Bickel’s classic, The Least Dangerous Branch, written in 1962. Choosing this pivotal moment in the flow of America’s history to open a revealing window into the history and workings of our highest court and a peek into its future and our own was a stroke of genius. Her account of the court from the death of Ruth Ginsburg to the rise of Amy Barrett moves at the pace of a thriller and teaches more about the court as an institution and the law as a discipline than any book of its length has any right to do.”—Laurence H. Tribe, Carl M. Loeb University Professor and Professor of Constitutional Law Emeritus, Harvard Law School <br /><br />Margie Whitmore will lead the discussion.<br /><br /><br />We encourage all LWV members to join us in the book group. The book group meets on the third Tuesday of alternate months (July excluded) at 2 PM. Please contact Mary Foster at maryfoster@rainierconnect.com or (360) 790-7268 with any questions.
