The SCOTUS is a political battleground where Federal laws can be passed as jurisprudence on the interpretation of the US Constitution, circumventing the legislative process. Instead of laws on reproductive rights, you had a ruling even detailing the time frames in which abortion was legal. Instead of legalizing gay marriage, you have a ruling on the federal recognition of licenses issued in individual states. Instead of a law on lobbying, you have a ruling saying that monetary contributions to campaigns are the free speech of lobbying groups. Instead of an organic law on weapons permits, you have a ruling saying what kinds of firearm regulations states can pass. But people can't say this politicization of the SCOTUS is new; back when the hot topic were worker rights, in the early XX century, those were the battles being fought there, to skip Congressional debates: https://reason.com/2021/12/02/the-laissez-faire-origins-of-the-supreme-courts-abortion-precedents/ https://reason.com/2021/12/02/the-laissez-faire-origins-of-t...
