Donald Trump's presidency resulted in a conservative 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court, enabling sweeping changes detrimental to labor rights, voting rights, and reproductive autonomy. The Democrats, despite having control during Biden's term, did not seize opportunities to restore balance to the court or safeguard these rights. Their inaction will likely lead to heightened consequences for marginalized communities as the court continues to uphold regressive policies. The article warns of future rulings that may further erode constitutional protections under the current justices' influence.
The Supreme Court under Trump's influence has pushed forward a hard-right agenda, undermining labor and voting rights, and infringing on reproductive freedoms.

Vulnerable communities will bear the brunt of the consequences arising from the Democrats' inaction regarding the Supreme Court's decisions.
Expected court rulings under the current majority suggest a continuation of aggressive political maneuvering, particularly regarding contentious issues like birthright citizenship.
