Summary

Supremacy: How Rule by the Court Replaced Government by the People is a 2026 book by Nikolas Bowie and Daphna Renan. Supremacy reviews two and a half centuries of history to argue that the power of judicial supremacy was not granted to the Supreme Court by the constitution but instead was seized. The book describes how white supremacists embraced it as one of the most potent tools to attempt to prevent a multiracial democracy after the reconstruction. Bowie and Renan argue for democratic constitutionalism and restoring Congress's role in defining American rights. Supremacy received favorable reviews.
