We can’t even imagine a grade adequate for the Supreme Court this year, as the current scale stops after only five letters. If we ever wondered how to get a worse grade than “F,” the U.S. Supreme Court showed us when they overturned abortion rights.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health obliterated the landscape around the Supreme Court. It devastated the court’s legitimacy and solidified its growing reputation as a political instrument that is free to be used to advance an extremist, partisan agenda.
While this case was not the only SCOTUS ruling to set back women’s rights — the New York gun decision comes to mind — it didn’t appear out of a vacuum. The Supreme Court has been earning its failing grade for a long time.
