Conversations on the Green: The Reckoning-SCOTUS Breakpoint

Conservatives’ 30-year mission to restructure the courts in their own image is culminating with a series of cases that is reshaping the country. Case by case, the Supreme Court is rewriting the rules that have long structured the way we live, how we are governed, how we worship, even who we are. 

Immigration. Health Care. Political representation. Reproductive and religious rights. . . It’s hard to find any aspect of daily life beyond the reach of the court’s long tentacles. 

The July 21 Conversations On The Green will explore the courts’ new direction and what it means for the way we live and for the country with three of the most celebrated court watchers, Jeffrey Toobin, Linda Greenhouse and Joan Biskupic.

Jeffrey Toobin, a longtime staff writer at The New Yorker and senior analyst for CNN, is the author of “The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court”, and “The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court.” A noted lecturer, he also has written other critically acclaimed, best-selling books, including “A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal that Nearly Brought Down a President”; “The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson”; and “Too Close to Call: The 36-Day Battle to Decide the 2000 Election”. Previously Toobin served as an assistant U.S. attorney in Brooklyn and as an associate counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh”.
