Rob Hunter on waiting for SCOTUS: By fixating on the Supreme Court, liberals have inherited the framers’ skepticism of popular sovereignty and mass politics. A slightly modest proposal: John Roberts's claims of judicial restraint should be taken with a grain of salt. The Supreme Court rules that Arizona’s voters were entitled to try to make the process of drawing congressional district lines less partisan (and one mind-blowing chart shows why the Supreme Court took on gerrymandering). Paul Blest on how the Supreme Court just gave Democrats a fighting chance to win back the House. Ian Millhiser on how Roberts’s King and Obergefell opinions may mark a turning point in American law. A term to remember: The Supreme Court gave us a historic year for liberty and equality. Alicia Parlapiano, Adam Liptak, and Jeremy Bowers on the Roberts Court’s surprising move leftward (and a response). Has the court turned Left? David Cole investigates.

The Supreme Court just delivered a victory to coal plants that want to emit unlimited mercury (and more). The Supreme Court just refused to review a disastrous ruling on software copyrights. This move by the Supreme Court probably means the end of affirmative action.
