Following their conversation, there will be a meet and greet / book signing. Light refreshments will be served. All members of the community are invited. Admission is free.

Michael Waldman is president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to revitalize the nation's systems of democracy and justice. He was director of speechwriting for President Bill Clinton from 1995 to 1999 and is the author of "The Second Amendment: A Biography" and "The Fight to Vote." . In his current bestseller, "The Supermajority...", Michael Waldman explores the tumultuous 2021-2022 Supreme Court term. Over three days in June 2022, the conservative supermajority overturned the constitutional right to abortion, possibly opening the door to reconsider other major privacy rights, as Justice Clarence Thomas urged. The Court sharply limited the authority of the EPA, reducing the prospects for combatting climate change. It radically loosened curbs on guns amid an epidemic of mass shootings. Waldman asks: "What can we do when the Supreme Court challenges the country?" . Michael Waldman was a member of the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court. A graduate of Columbia College and NYU School of Law, he comments widely in the media on law and policy.

Some comments on "The Supermajority..."

"Waldman's book devastatingly demonstrates that . . . the current Court has made clear that even the judiciary's legitimacy as the law's highest expositor cannot be presumed."
- Lawrence Tribe, The New York Review of Books

"Today's Supreme Court poses a crisis for American democracy. It has set the country back on voting rights, reproductive rights, gun safety and racial justice, with more damage possibly to come. This compelling book tells the story of this critical moment in the long struggle for a better, more equitable country. It's not a story just for lawyers - it's something every American must know."
- Eric Holder, former U.S. Attorney General
