Supreme Court Goes Medieval

The Supreme Court rulings are a direct assault on the legal protections for people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and young people.

The conservative majority on the Supreme Court is determined to legislate from the bench. The court ignored decades of precedent by overturning affirmative action in college admissions, overruling laws that protect same-sex couples, and ignoring the legal authority granted by the HEROES Act to cancel student debt. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor exposed the hypocrisy of the court who “subverts the constitutional guarantee of equal protection by further entrenching racial inequality in education, the very foundation of our democratic government and pluralistic society.”
