Holding Court: How Chief Justice Roberts Dismantled Our Rights

Alliance for Justice is inviting you to join us on Wednesday, December 17 at 2pm ET for Holding Court: How Chief Justice Roberts Dismantled Our Rights. This virtual conversation will feature Lisa Graves, Executive Director of True North Research, co-founder of Court Accountability, and author of the new book, Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights. AFJ President Rachel Rossi will be moderating the discussion.

This year marks 20 years since John Roberts was appointed Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. In those two decades, the Roberts Court has significantly reshaped American life and jurisprudence in destructive ways. Voting rights have been dismantled; the right to abortion has been overturned; transphobic legislation has been upheld; environmental protections have been rolled back; and our constitutional freedoms are facing enormous risks.

Without Precedent explores how Chief Justice Roberts spearheaded a rightward transformation of the Supreme Court and the far-reaching consequences for American democracy. The book also covers the need for judicial reform, and the important role reform must play in defeating the negative consequences of the Roberts Court. This virtual discussion will include an examination of the forces that shaped the current Supreme Court under Chief Justice Roberts, the pivotal decisions that have redefined constitutional rights, and the networks of power that helped drive this judicial evolution — and how progressive advocates have sought to counter that regression.
