“2020–21 was the term the fourth wall disappeared,” she argues. To answer that question, Justice on the Brink traces how the court’s aura of insulation, long said to transcend the vagaries of politics - what Greenhouse calls the institution’s “shared frame of assumption” - gave way last year. Greenhouse asks if the court still bears Chief Justice John Roberts’s ideological imprint - or whether it now orbits former President Donald Trump. Veteran Supreme Court reporter and Lecturer in Law Linda Greenhouse ’78 MSL chronicles the political tumult that rocked the Supreme Court’s 2020–21 term in her new book, Justice on the Brink: The Death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Rise of Amy Coney Barrett, and Twelve Months that Transformed the Supreme Court (Random House, 2021).
