A four-time recipient of the Project Censored Award, Hartmann is also a New York Times bestselling author of twenty-four books, translated in multiple languages.
“With this masterpiece on the Supreme Court, Thom—the brilliant
author of many important books—surpasses himself. It should be
required reading for every person who cares about the future of our
planet.”
—John Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of The New
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
“Historian, legal scholar, and political analyst extraordinaire,
Thom Hartmann presents a meticulously documented strategy for
trimming the power of nine ideologically motivated political
activists unaccountable to the will of the people. Hartmann’s most
important and timely book to date.”
—David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and
Change the Story, Change the Future
“Thom Hartmann’s thoughtful analysis of the history of the Supreme
Court provides a clear and actionable blueprint for how champions
of principled democracy can work to evolve the court in ways that
makes it more responsive, transparent, and accountable.”
—Garlin Gilchrist, Lieutenant Governor, State of Michigan
“Hartmann looks at the Supreme Court today as a tool of the right
and their corporate interests. He reminds us that the Declaration
of Independence promises ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness,’ not ‘property,’ and urges ‘we the people’ to lawfully
subject SCOTUS to democratic governance.”
—Harvey J. Kaye, Professor of Democracy and Justice Studies,
University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, and author of Thomas Paine and
the Promise of America
“Thom Hartmann has created an elegant historical road map that
reveals how one of the most influential judicial bodies on the
planet evolved into such a powerful and mysterious
entity.”
—Mike Papantonio, Host of America’s Lawyer
“Thom Hartmann provides a clear-eyed view of the right-wing assault
on the courts -- and a principled vision for restoring justice for
the many, not just the few.”
—Lee Fang, investigative journalist
“Thom Hartmann gives fascinating play-by-play coverage of the
federal judiciary’s fall from the ‘most harmless branch’ of
government to a clear and present danger to liberty and democracy.
Do you want to understand how the plutocrats are trying to gavel
down on We the People? Read. This. Book.”
—Alan Grayson, former member of Congress
“A brilliant, highly readable account of the least-understood
democratic branch of our government, its growing power, and its
hijacking by the right, this book is essential reading for anyone
who’s concerned with the future of our democracy and the fate of
our world.”
—Richard Eskow, writer, journalist, consultant, and broadcaster
“Hartmann has the amazing ability to bring important history to
life. His new book is a must-read for people of all political
persuasions to understand the history of the Court and its
political impact. It is an eye-opener on the betrayal of America
and what it means for our future.”
—Bob Ney, Political Analyst, Talk Media News, and former member of
Congress
“In a provocative and easy read, Hartmann warns we have ceded
enormous political and economic power to the wealthy classes,
despite our founding fathers’ intention to place more corrective
power in the hands of the electorate.”
—Bill Luther, former member of Congress
“Hartmann once again goes deep to understand the origin of the
crisis in the Supreme Court, which didn’t stem from Trump alone. To
understand the power of the Court, its dangerously dysfunctional
state, and what you can do, read this book.”
—Dahr Jamail, author of The End of Ice
