It’s book tour-palooza at the Supreme Court.

Three justices — Amy Coney Barrett, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson — will crisscross the country to make a combined more than two dozen stops this month, soaking up the final weeks of the court’s summer recess to promote their titles.

The blitz of appearances breaks from the justices’ usual push to steer clear of public interviews, a more unwieldy forum than the written opinions through which they typically divulge their views.

But to sell copies, they’ll have to sign book covers on top of the court’s decisions.

Most of the attention is on Barrett, whom many court watchers view as one of the most interesting — and often most unpredictable — justice.

On Tuesday, she’ll release her first book since President Trump nominated her to the court in 2020. Titled “Listening to the Law,” Barrett has billed it as an inside look at her journey and work, including her deliberation process and dealings with media scrutiny.

The first excerpts surfaced Tuesday in a report from CNN. Barrett defends her pivotal vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, condemning the 1973 decision establishing the constitutional right to an abortion as “getting ahead of the American people.”

“(T)he Court’s role is to respect the choices that the people have agreed upon, not to tell them what they should agree to,” Barrett wrote, according to CNN.

Barrett declined The Hill’s request for an interview through her publisher.

Her book tour unofficially kicks off this Thursday when she’ll sit down with The Free Press’ Bari Weiss at Lincoln Center in New York City. Tickets sold out in three hours, event organizers said (the venue seats roughly 1,100 people).

After New York, Barrett on Saturday will be back in the nation’s capital at the National Book Festival, where she’ll sit down with David Rubenstein, the billionaire co-founder of the Carlyle Group.

Then, she’ll move to the presidential library circuit. She’ll head to California for events next week at the Nixon and Reagan libraries and later Texas for a stop at the Johnson library.

Barrett is also set to drop by Notre Dame, where she previously taught, along with stops in Chicago and Philadelphia.

The sudden burst in her public appearances comes with its financial benefits, as we detailed in a previous edition of The Gavel. Barrett has already disclosed $425,000 in royalties, and her deal reportedly included a $2 million advance.

Meanwhile, Sotomayor — the most prolific author among the sitting justices — will make the rounds for her new children’s picture book, “Just Shine! How to Be a Better You.” It comes out the same day as Barrett’s title.

Sotomayor will begin her tour at Washington University in St. Louis next week. Then, she’ll hold events in places like Baltimore, New York City, Lake Forest Park, Wash., and San Francisco.

As those two tours commence, Jackson is extending the tour for her memoir, “Lovely One.” It has now stretched into its second year.

Last night, she appeared for a book event in Charleston, S.C. She’s headed to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University tonight, and Jackson also has other upcoming stops in North Carolina at Princeton University.

But wait, there’s more...: Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy’s memoir (which has been shortened from two volumes to one) comes out Oct. 18. He’s already announced an event with Rubenstein in New York next month to promote it.

DC grand jurors reject crime crackdown

A closed-door resistance is building to Trump's crime crackdown in the nation’s capital.

Grand juries in Washington, D.C., have declined to indict at least seven times in recent weeks as prosecutors have sought charges amid a push for more stringent law enforcement.

In court filings Monday, a lawyer for Nathalie Rose Jones — an Indiana woman accused of threatening Trump’s life — revealed in court filings that a grand jury “found no probable cause” to indict her.

“Given that finding, the weight of the evidence is weak,” wrote Mary Manning Petras, an assistant federal public defender. “The government may intend to try again to obtain an indictment, but the evidence has not changed and no indictment is........
