That's nearly four decades of consequential decision-making, the opportunity for the Court's conservative supermajority to reshape nearly all American institutions for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf this seems a daunting prospect on its own, these cutting dispatches from \u003cem\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/em\u003e look back at more than 150 years of the Court's near-constant tipping of the scales, from the recent repeal of \u003cem\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/em\u003e to the hollowing out of labor unions, voter protections, campaign-finance regulations, and beyond. Indeed, if there's one institution we might blame for all the staggering crises the country faces today, it's the Supreme Court.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the leading progressive magazine in the country, \u003cem\u003eThe Nation \u003c\/em\u003ehas reported on and debated the Court's repeated transgressions on public life.
