Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Though Chemerinsky approved of the Warren Court's decisions on segregation (Brown), districting (one man, one vote), and defendants' rights (Miranda v. Arizona and Gideon v. Wainwright) -- he has represented criminal defendants before the Supreme Court himself -- he maintained that the Warren Court nevertheless "did so much less than it needed to and should have done, even in the areas of its greatest accomplishments."
53% : As everyone knows, between Plessy v. Ferguson, decided in 1896, and Brown v. Board of Education, decided in 1954, and in spite of the Fourteenth (equal protection) and Fifteenth (right to vote) Amendments, the Court barely lifted a finger to end segregation and disenfranchisement on the basis of race -- not that Congress or the executive branch did much, either.
40% : A principal target in the new book, unsurprisingly, is the Electoral College, defined in Article II and the Twelfth Amendment, which makes it possible for a candidate to lose the popular vote and still be elected President -- as happened with George W. Bush, in 2000, and Donald Trump, in 2016, and as nearly happened with Trump again in 2020.
