Summary
The Supreme Court’s legitimacy is slipping as it increasingly uses history as a weapon—not a guide. While claiming to honor tradition, justices cherry-pick the past to justify rulings that defy precedent, creating glaring contradictions: invoking 19th-century oppression to deny abortion rights, ignoring decades of church-state separation to protect religious expression, and dismissing voter suppression history while rigidly upholding 18th-century gun and prayer norms. This selective rewriting of history doesn’t serve justice—it weaponizes the past to freeze rights in place, risking the very freedoms it’s supposed to protect. To restore trust, the Court must stop bending history and start honoring it honestly.
