One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min

From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of White Rage, the startling - and timely - history of voter suppression in America, with a foreword by Senator Dick Durbin.In her New York Times best seller White Rage, Carol Anderson laid bare an insidious history of policies that have systematically impeded black progress in America, from 1865 to our combustible present. With One Person, No Vote, she chronicles a related history: the rollbacks to African American participation in the vote since the 2013 Supreme Court decision that eviscerated the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Known as the Shelby ruling, this decision effectively allowed districts with a demonstrated history of racial discrimination to change voting requirements without approval from the Department of Justice. Focusing on the aftermath of Shelby, Anderson follows the astonishing story of government-dictated racial discrimination unfolding before our very eyes as more and more states adopt voter suppression laws. In gripping, enlightening detail she explains how voter suppression works, from photo ID requirements to gerrymandering to poll closures. And with vivid characters, she explores the resistance: the organising, activism, and court battles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans as the nation gears up for the 2018 midterm elections. ungekürzt.

Last Chance to Save American Democracy: Republicans Will Permanently Take Power in the 2022-2024 Elections Unless Democrats Follow This Plan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min

How Democrats can win the 2020 decade by saving democracy in 2021Despite four awful years with Trump as president, Democrats were barely able to defeat him in the 2020 elections. They lost seats in the House, lost winnable races in the Senate, and even lost a handful of state legislatures.How can this be?For that matter, how did Trump win in 2016, and why did Republicans control Congress for almost the entire 2010 decade despite zero accomplishments?In Last Chance to Save American Democracy, political strategist Haven Scott McVarish takes us through the intentional dismantling of democracy begun by Republican party funders after Obama's landslide in 2008. These funders and their willing Republican servants weaponized unlimited dark money, extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression, and diversionary propaganda to make it impossible for Democrats to effectively govern or win a majority. Only Trump’s massive unpopularity allowed Democrats to barely win the trifecta in the 2020 elections.In this masterful and compelling political analysis, McVarish unveils a set of 12 comprehensive solutions for our besieged democracy, along with an organizing plan to get these solutions into law. McVarish shows Democrats exactly how they must fix the filibuster, reform the Supreme Court, revise the Electoral College and Congress to provide fair representation, and equalize voters’ influence through campaign finance reform, to name a few, all without needing constitutional amendments.Defeating Trump and McConnell in 2020 is only the first step. Unless Democrats make the necessary changes in a very short window of opportunity in 2021, the GOP’s decade-long assault on our democracy will give Republicans permanent control of our government within the next two elections, and we will lose our democracy forever.You don't have to feel frustrated and scared.This blueprint lays out a clear path for us to compel ungekürzt.

The Most Dangerous Branch: Inside the Supreme Court's Assault on the Constitution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 995min

In the best-selling tradition of The Nine and The Brethren, The Most Dangerous Branch takes us inside the secret world of the Supreme Court. David A. Kaplan, the former legal affairs editor of Newsweek, shows how the justices subvert the role of the other branches of government - and how we’ve come to accept it at our peril. Never before has the Court been more central in American life. It is now the nine justices who too often decide the biggest issues of our time - from abortion and same-sex marriage to gun control, campaign finance, and voting rights. The Court is so crucial that many voters in 2016 made their choice based on whom they thought their presidential candidate would name to the Court. Donald Trump picked Neil Gorsuch - the key decision of his new administration. The newest justice, Brett Kavanaugh - replacing Anthony Kennedy - is even more important, holding the swing vote over so much social policy. With the 2020 campaign underway, and with two justices in their ’80s, the Court looms even larger. Is that really how democracy is supposed to work? Based on exclusive interviews with the justices, Kaplan provides fresh details about life behind the scenes at the Court: the reaction to Kavanaugh’s controversial arrival, the new role for Chief Justice John Roberts, Clarence Thomas's simmering rage, Antonin Scalia's death, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's celebrity, Breyer Bingo, and the petty feuding between Gorsuch and the chief justice. Kaplan offers a sweeping narrative of the justices’ aggrandizement of power over the decades - from Roe v. Wade to Bush v. Gore to Citizens United. (He also faults the Court for not getting involved when it should - for example, to limit partisan gerrymandering.) But the arrogance of the Court isn't partisan: Conservative and liberal justices alike are guilty of overreach. Challenging conventional wisdom about th ungekürzt. Language: English.
