In this powerful indictment of a venerated institution, Injustices tells the history of the Supreme Court through the eyes of the everyday people who have suffered the most from it. Since its inception, the justices of the Supreme Court have shaped a nation where children toiled in coal mines, where Americans could be forced into camps because of their race, and where a woman could be sterilized against her will by state law. The Court was the midwife of Jim Crow, the right hand of union busters, and the dead hand of the Confederacy. Nor is the modern Court a vast improvement, with its incursions on voting rights, its willingness to place elections for sale, and a looming threat to the Affordable Care Act that could rip health care away from millions. As Millhiser explains, few American institutions have inflicted greater suffering on ordinary people than the Supreme Court of the United States. America ratified three constitutional amendments to provide equal rights to freed slaves, but the justices spent thirty years largely dismantling these amendments. Then they spent the next forty years rewriting them into a shield for the wealthy and the powerful. Nor do the progressive victories of the Warren era or recent progress on gay rights vindicate the institution. To the contrary, the Court paid little heed to the Constitution’s promise of equal rights for decades, and the Warren Court’s restoration of the Constitution’s promises of equality, free speech, and fair justice for the accused was an historic accident. Indeed, if not for several unpredictable event such as a chief justice’s fatal heart attack and a former Ku Klux Klanman’s dramatic change of heart, Brown v. Board of Education could have gone the other way.

With great clarity and poignant human stories throughout, Ian Millhiser has written a book that all who are interested in American government and our legal system—which should be all of us—must read.” —Erwin Chemerinsky, founding dean and distinguished professor of law at the University of California, Irvine School of Law “Ian Millhiser’s Injustices is a powerful reminder that for most of its history, the Supreme Court has erred on the side of protecting the privilege and powers of America's elites—and that it has so often done so by reading the Constitution upside-down. Millhiser has crafted an indictment of the Court’s treatment of workers, minorities, women, voters, and powerless groups, with a deeply researched grounding in history and the law. His dispiriting conclusion is a powerful reminder of how much the Court matters, and how much more it could be.” —Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor at Slate Follow us on: [Facebook]<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=158602&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=ca7b7c9350a048b7b1f5e9886f93023f> [Twitter]<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=158603&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=9fbc361f1ff04bcaa2e7c0351398dcb2> [YouTube]<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=158604&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=684ea9c1d3924433840f033f9d976699> [Google+]<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=161416&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=9c616eed7b4c4f96b07b65d3a1d39fd5> Support CAP<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=157676&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=3a16f3a0ed9b4f0cb1b06ee0ddea17bc> | Manage Email Preferences<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=156911&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=e9746ad7c86b416baca12b54a547606f> | Privacy Policy<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=163166&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=8ee10f54bbad4c34bfc4582a61c12e1a> | Unsubscribe<http://app.mx3.americanprogressaction.org/e/er?s=785&lid=163342&elq=b1a70045a3f94718be819635e8581c0c&elqaid=25028&elqat=1&elqTrackId=89ee9ba8b41146ff9af8c53923930d4c> Center for American Progress | 1333 H Street NW, 10th Floor | Washington, DC 20005 This email was sent to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
