The U.S. Supreme Court is in crisis. Since 2021, the court's six conservatives have upended decades of precedents on reproductive, gun and religious rights; neutered regulators; granted presidents nearly monarchical immunity; and adopted newfangled theories that threaten other well-established areas of the law. Outside of rulings, the troubling financial and ethical entanglements of several justices have cast doubt on their integrity. On the precipice of another presidential election with potentially contested results, it's fair to ask whether this court will be up to the task of safeguarding democracy.
