Even if Biden wins, this court seems clearly poised to undo most of the Warren Court. Obviously the 10 Commandments Louisiana rule and the Oklahoma admonition that the Bible must be taught in schools will be challenged, but it now seems likely they would be upheld 6-3.
Other cases I expect conservative states to push to revisit include Miranda (being read your rights on arrest) and Gideon (entitled to a defense attorney).

This Supreme Court dominated by partisan conservative ideologues will eliminate most, if not all, of Establishment Clause jurisprudence.

(30,232 posts)ban on no fault divorce... The EPA will not be able to regulate any pollution. OHSA will not be able to enforce any job safety measures ( if they get in the way of profits ), food safety - gone, airline safety - gone, NTSB - gone, government sponsored research - gone ( except for military ), ATF - probably gone.
this from the chevron decision coupled with immunity decision and the Dobbs decision taken to the next step.

I fully agree the EPA and OSHA are neutered. Shelby Foote said that prior to the Civil War, it was "the United States are..." and after it became "the United States is...." We are now back to "the United States are..."

(11,165 posts)I can see Trump refusing to aid "Blue" States, cities, counties that are known to despise him. Majority of current SCOTUS wouldn't GAF and could enjoy appreciation gifts by ruling in Trump's favor. Education left to States will hasten the destruction.
Honestly anyone with investments or businesses in this country should be actively working to ensure Biden gets re-elected.
