Remarkable wins were made on both the liberal and conservative side of the ledger—but they come with caveats
first full term with Donald Trump’s two appointees in robes could have been a bloodbath. In the midst of a pandemic and the most fraught political landscape since the 1960s, though, the feast of cases did not bring total victory for the five-member conservative majority. Instead, John Roberts, in his 15th year as chief justice, presided over a court that broke left and right about equally in cases involving religion, abortion, civil rights and presidential power.
There were overt victories on the right, too. The chief justice joined his fellow conservatives in three cases expanding the law’s deference to religious folk and organisations while chipping away at the wall between church and state. He handed presidents the power to fire the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau without cause. He said rogue border agents cannot be sued for shooting Mexican children standing on the other side of the-Mexico line.
