The Rightward March of the Supreme Court (Online)

Jim Kenney explores the Supreme Court’s rightward march during the Trump era, tracing how a durable 6-justice conservative supermajority has reshaped constitutional doctrine on rights, regulation, and executive power. He spotlights three especially controversial decisions: Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe vs. Wade; New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs. Bruen, which dramatically expanded gun rights; and West Virginia vs. EPA, which sharply limited climate regulation. He also discusses the growing public concern about the Court’s legitimacy, and if Democrats regain control of the House and the Senate, they might choose to expand the membership of the Court.
