Why people recommend it
Supreme Power by Jeff Shesol is a historical non-fiction book detailing the intense political and institutional battle between Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the United States Supreme Court. On an episode of Breaking Points titled BREAKING: SCOTUS Midnight Ruling BACKS Trump Cuts, broadcast on February 27, 2025, Emily Jashinsky recommended this book to the audience. Although she momentarily blanked on the title during the broadcast, she quickly recalled it and expressed high praise for the work, noting that she had read it several years earlier. Jashinsky brought up the book while discussing current tensions surrounding the Supreme Court, using Shesol's historical account of the Roosevelt era to draw parallels to contemporary political and judicial conflicts. By referencing Supreme Power, she illustrated how past executive administrations navigated roadblocks imposed by the high court, providing listeners with a deeper historical context for understanding modern power struggles between the branches of government, the politics of judicial appointments, and the enduring friction inherent in the American constitutional system.
