Reviews

“If you don’t know much about the Supreme Court but would like to, this is where you should start. Matt takes the starch out of the legal process and delivers an approachable summary of an institution we should all be well-versed on.” —Dave Farina, a.k.a. “Professor Dave,” author of Is This Wi-Fi Organic? “In The Power of the Supreme Court, Matt Beat sounds an alarm that will surely awaken every American sleeping on the vital importance of the Supreme Court. As he traverses the history and function of the Court, Matt unravels complex topics in a way that anyone can understand, and does so with a healthy dose of his signature wit. If every American read Matt’s book and took to heart its lessons, we might find that our national wounds, long in festering, may begin to heal. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.” —Steve Heimler, of Heimler’s History “Matt is one of the most popular American history YouTubers for a reason: few can compete with his depth of knowledge and clear and engaging style of communication. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking an explanation for how and why so much of American politics has come to revolve around a small handful of decisions made by a small handful of judges.” —J.J. McCullough
