Sex and the Constitution: Sex, Religion, and Law from America's Origins to the Twenty-First Century by Geoffrey R. Stone
4.5
Nerdiest read but dear god. So good.
The closest I'll get to law school is being told by countless people "I'd make a great lawyer" because I have strong opinions and too encyclopedic a knowledge of supreme court cases, so it doesn't take an expert to get something out of this.
Stone did a great job weaving together history and law with some interesting insights and a clear but human voice. Highly recommend and a wonderful lense to look at so many different facets of modern legal struggles through that of morality.
It is 600 pages and dense, but worth it.
