Supreme Court rulings carry lessons for the left

Supreme Court rulings carry lessons for the left
The citizenship question stops the right wing from shooting itself in the foot, because they would lose the most in funding with non-response and labor force if migrants fled.

Remedying racial gerrymandering can still be done, although people can always claim that a racial gerrymander is political. Ignoring such issues seems to be a pattern under Roberts.Of course, most judicial maps and affirmative action measures could be better done, so let us not judge too quickly. For larger states, proportional representation solves the problem and encourages everyone to vote. It is why everyone votes in Puerto Rico.

Roe is about state power to discriminate against minorities. On that basis, it was rightly decided. Individual rights are never to be subject to the whim of the majority. The discussion must end there. On abortion, 8 justices agree if Indiana v. Planned Parenthood is any indication.

This indicates that ENDA may require legislative passage. Roberts is not likely to go with adding sexual identity to sex in the Civil Rights Act from the bench, but one of the new Justices might. Congress will act in 2021, if not sooner, if 4 Senators shift parties for Schumer.
