"Does it ever feel like the Supreme Court is going out of its way to favor all the cases that undermine democracy, while hampering cases that would lift democracy?

Not just on the merits of cases, but in the way the Court goes about hearing cases and making its decisions in the first place."

~ David Pepper

"Get ready for another rightward lurch in the new Supreme Court term. If things stay true to form, President Trump will benefit from the Roberts court’s generous takes on executive power. The rest of us may not be so lucky. …

From the cases already set to be heard, the court’s conservative majority has shown the direction in which it will most likely take the country over the next nine months."

~ Matt Ford

"The conservative judicial revolution has achieved something remarkable: they’ve used the Constitution to destroy constitutional governance, employed originalism to justify unlimited presidential authority, and transformed legal scholarship into systematic rationalization for the very tyranny the Founders designed our system to prevent."
