Supreme Risk - An interactive guide to rights the #SupremeCourt has established and could take away. @ProPublica scoured judicial opinions, academic articles, public remarks by sitting justices. Some justices, like #ClarenceThomas, have had decades long careers & lengthy paper trails. We found dozens of rights that at least one sitting justice has questioned. https://projects.propublica.org/supreme-risk/ #SCOTUS #CivilLiberties #LegalResearch #Privacy #WomensHealth #HumanRights #internet #education
Wow, if a person is looking to the Supreme Court to establish rights, they're really not understanding the design of the US government.
No, the Supreme Court is not there to establish any rights. That's a job of the democratic process in the US representative government.
The Supreme Court merely recognizes the rights established by the other branch, is beholden to the other parts of government.
Propublica really does a disservice misinforming the public about key issues of basic civics.
