“How President Trump Could Reshape the Supreme Court—and the Country”

Jeffrey Rosen in Politico:

A 6-3 conservative court could cut back on abortion rights by upholding state regulations on abortion clinics and providers, and eventually even strike down Roe v. Wade. (In the third presidential debate, Trump said that because he would appoint pro-life justices, overturning Roe “will happen, automatically in my opinion.”) The Trump Court also could strike down affirmative action programs on the principle that the Constitution is colorblind. It could uphold voter ID laws and continue to deregulate the campaign finance system, striking down disclosure requirements and limits on campaign contributions that the Roberts court has upheld.
