The Far Right Succeeds in Overturning Roe
The Far Right has succeeded: In a devastating ruling, the Supreme Court majority has overturned Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, conservative justices have eliminated the constitutional right to abortion. In so doing, they have committed an unprecedented assault on our freedom.

Trump Justices Cast Deciding Votes to Devastate Church-State Separation
The Trump-solidified hard-right majority on the Supreme Court took a grave step in their long-term effort to severely undermine separation between church and state, as well as true religious liberty, in Carson v. Makin. The 6-3 majority’s ruling in Carson will require Maine to use taxpayer money to pay for children’s religious education. Then, in a ruling in Kennedy v.
