This book explores how the Court and the country, prepared or not, reached this point. The conservative transformation of America’s highest court has long been building, accelerated by the efforts in the 1980s of President Ronald Reagan. Roberts, as a young lawyer, participated in that era, and on the contemporary Court has led the right-wing drive to erase voting rights protections and remedies for racial injustices, to forbid federal judges from reviewing extreme gerrymanders, and to lift campaign finance regulations. Relevant to the Texas case, Roberts had also tried to diminish reproductive rights.

Also either age limit of term limited.

MSG Stan Hutchison Agreed, but irs interesting how now it's an issue having a 'right' leaning court. Of course, no one ever had issues with a 'left' leaning court.
