currently the SC is a slight conservative majority, but this would put the court with a comfortable conservative majority which could affect rulings like abortion access

Because of all the things that are going to be reversed. It's going to regress America by hundreds of years. And any future cases involving human rights will be destroyed unless it benefits white Christians.

The supreme Court's job is to interpret whether or not something is covered under existing law. The fear is that a significant number of social advances in the last few decades has been through Court interpretation rather than actual legislation, and that lawsuits brought up to a conservative Court could lead to a reversal in those rulings.

Part of the problem is that people have collectively given up on Congress actually doing their job, regardless of who is in power. The result is that rather than pushing Congressional representatives to draft new laws to offer the same protections that these past rulings used to give, the general consensus is that no laws will ever get passed and it's up to the supreme Court to retroactively fit protections and civil liberties into old laws.

For example, there is a significant fear that a conservative Court could overturn Roe versus Wade, eliminating national protections for abortion. Congress passing a law formerly legalizing abortion would completely eliminate the need to rely on court interpretation to maintain that protection, but that would require Congress actually passing a law.

Of course Mitch will. The Dems have no ability to stop this.

It actually won't be easy. The Senate has all left to go campaign. A lame duck appointment is kind of likely so we have a few weeks to figure out some bullshit. Like, just impeach literally everyone and clog up the bureaucracy.

Why would any agree to block it. This can be used for their reelection campaigns that they added another GOP judge to Supreme Court. I wish they'd have voted on the Heroes Act by now.
