From Citizens United to Dobbs v. Jackson, our Constitutional rights are being whittled away by an ideologically driven Supreme Court. Important issues such as bodily autonomy, marriage equality, private intimate relations between consenting adults, and the right to contraception are in danger of losing their Constitutional protection and being thrown to individual state legislatures to determine whether or not the citizens of that state will continue to enjoy these protections.
The recent decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn the longstanding Chevron Doctrine, will fundamentally change American life, as every corporation that has had an unfavorable judgement based on the doctrine attempts to retry those cases in courts currently overburdened with their existing caseloads. Use of public lands, food safety, clean air and water standards, consumer financial protections, OSHA regulations and countless other issues will be re-litigated by wealthy corporations in pursuit of greater profits. All to the potential detriment of the public good and safety.
Many of these issues will be thrown back to state legislatures. If they are, we need to make sure those legislatures are populated with people who will not bow to the interests of the moneyed few, but will respect the will of the people.
