Injustices

More of a 3.5 I think.

To be honest, maybe I shouldn't have picked it up at this time. It's been a while since I borrowed it but with all that's happening irl, I thought why not read about a part of the Supreme Court's history now. I think I didn't gauge my headspace correctly. The Roe v Wade draft and everything that's happening in the states already has me feeling very angry and anxious, so reading about some of the historically horrible decisions that the court has made in the past only added more to my despair. I don't know if I was even able to process the significance of all the cases that the author talks about here and how they came to be. Maybe I'll read the book again some other time when I'm not so angry. Or maybe I don't need a history lesson to understand that the court is fully capable of making decisions that oppress a significant part of the population and will probably continue to do so in the future.
