“Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today's Supreme Court” by Sarah Isgur (2026) Last Branch Standing is a book that offers an insider's look at the Supreme Court, arguing it's often misunderstood as purely ideological, when its role is more complex, acting as the "last branch standing" as Congress and the presidency have become less effective. The book debunks the simple 6-3 conservative/liberal split narrative, revealing a more fluid dynamic and exploring the court's inner workings, from clerk gossip to the justices' daily lives, while also discussing how the court has become the final arbiter on major issues due to the other branches' failures.
