More trump dystopia but actually going way back further... back to Nixon, Reagan and Bush. Going back to slavery and reconstruction, voting rights, civil rights, etc. A court with a long history of conservative anti-democracy dystopia and christian nationalism. Interpretations that they call "originalist" when for example who had the right to vote at that time.
The book was incredibly engaging and well researched but also amusing at the same time with ongoing references to popular culture. She makes the point throughout the book that this current court considers anything that social and moral conservatives don't like to be discriminatory toward those conservatives because they don't want to accept changes in society that may benefit someone they hate thus they are dismantling equality.
This book covers it all from a perspective of a law professor from the University of Michigan Law School. She is a regular commentor on MSNBC, NPR and other media outlets and writes for The Atlantic, Slate and others.
