The analysis shows how the Roberts Court has reversed decades of work by prior Courts that sought to perfect and protect our democracy and has highlighted the need for congressional action to check its power.
For decades, the Supreme Court has had a prominent role in preserving our democracy, but the Roberts Court’s consistent efforts to thwart democracy without any coherent or persuasive reasoning rightfully draws into question the Court’s legitimacy.
