If RBG had retired or passed away before the recent abortion case, Roe v Wade would almost certainly have been overturned fully or partially a few days ago. The court voted 5-4 to uphold and whatever hyperconservative federalist society nutjob Trump would have nominated to replace her would virtually have guaranteed the opposite result. Abortion isn't the only relevant case that the court could overturn, we have decisions like Citizens United that have essentially gutted the political process for a generation and in the past few days the courts have handed massive wins to Churches and conservatives that allow them to discriminate freely. To pretend the courts don't have massive power to dictate daily life in the US seems to be denying obvious truths. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/04/supreme-court-decision-in-louisiana-case-sets-back-abortion-foes.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/04/supreme-court-decision-in-lo...
