Supreme Court Flexes Its Muscles: Reining in State Courts
As the Supreme Court's conservative majority grows stronger, the court is increasingly willing to bypass lower-court proceedings and make bold decisions that reshape American politics and society.
The Supreme Court, empowered by its growing conservative majority, has demonstrated a heightened assertiveness in recent years, frequently bypassing lower-court proceedings to make sweeping decisions that reshape American politics and society. This trend has become especially pronounced since President Trump appointed three conservative justices, solidifying the court's ideological leanings.
One notable example is the court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating the federal constitutional right to abortion and returning the issue to individual states. This landmark ruling, which came despite widespread public opposition, underscores the court's willingness to make bold, transformative decisions that depart from public sentiment and longstanding legal precedents.
