There's no point in discussing such an article. The Supreme Court does not exist to push progressive political agendas along, nor does it exist to enact social change of any kind. It's only role is interpreting the United States' founding documents. The article assumes a purpose for the Court that should never have existed to begin with. In other words, these recent decisions are not political in and of themselves, but are mere reversions to the mean.
- sofixa 4y agoReversions of decisions taken decades ago by the same court. Maintaining them isn't "progressive", it's "conservative" by the definitions of those two words. Overturning them is regressive, downright reactionary.
