American History cannot be understood without examining the U S Supreme Court. The Court's leadership and members cross executive office terms so the same justices will be appropriate to far more than one President. In addition, the impact of the Court's decisions span whole eras and affect the US and the world.
We've started another group to capture lists of books on the Court and its member Justices, discussions on land-mark decisions, and a host of other topics regarding this most amazing third arm of our government.

Hope to see you there,
