Reviewing the Court
The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a series of important rulings in the first half of 2023. Included in this year’s decisions were cases involving affirmative action for admission into American colleges and universities, the Biden administration’s attempt to unilaterally forgive student loans, the right of a Christian graphic artist to determine what type of artwork matched her religious beliefs, the authority of state legislatures to redraw the boundaries of congressional districts, and whether “transgender” individuals have protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
For those who favor fidelity to the Constitution, the rulings were a mixed bag. But for those on the Left who have come to expect Supreme Court rulings that advance their progressive agenda, any defeat before the High Court is a cause to condemn not only the rulings, but the legitimacy of the Court itself.
Leading the attack upon the Supreme Court was President Joe Biden. “This is not a normal court,” Biden said, responding to a question of whether the Supreme Court had become a “rogue court” after its decision striking down the use of race to determine admissions criteria to colleges and universities.
