Notebook: In one of those poisonous cravings for nostalgia I went looking for images or videos of my old K-12 in Lebanon, where I spent my middle school years, le College Mariste de Champville, and came away even more broken-hearted than whenever I think back to those bittersweet days of war and incongruous joys. Lebanon is in a death spiral, its economic crisis, brought on by unprecedented corruption, reducing it to one of the world’s most failed states, according to the World Bank. The school issued a video, subtitled in English, to appeal for donors–donors willing to pay in dollars, to keep teachers at least salaried enough to keep teaching. It was at Champville that I first read Madame Bovary (just an excerpt from the novel’s early pages: it was the first lesson in our French textbook that year), and at Champville that, from my seat by a big bay window overlooking the Mediterranean, I could see Beirut burn in the distance on some days, when school closures hadn’t caught up with the latest cease fire’s failure. That was horror enough, though somehow most of us (most of us not part of the 100,000 who didn’t) survived. Today, well over half the country’s 4 to 5 million people are in poverty. And my old school is reduced to this:

What may not be gainsaid, however, is that the [US Supreme] Court has now returned to its historically conservative tendencies with a vengeance that can only be called reactionary. And if you put aside arguments over judicial philosophy and look at the practical results, it is worse than that. In the last few days of its most recent term, the Court released a series of decisions that, whatever their purported rationales, made the world a more dangerous place: more dangerous for poor people of color, who can no longer effectively seek redress for certain forms of police misconduct; more dangerous for women, who in many states must now resort to backroom abortions and face imprisonment for doing so; and more dangerous for Americans generally, who can no longer hope to meaningfully curb the increase in gun violence now plaguing our nation and whose government will find it ever more difficult to alleviate the climate change that imperils our planet.

–From Jed Rakoff’s review essay on Brad Snyder’s Democratic Justice: Felix Frankfurter, the Supreme Court, and the Making of the Liberal Establishment, in the Nov. 3, 2022 issue of The New York Review of Books.
