Yep...I was right. lol
First time?

Well considering I don't know many, Dred Scott and Citizens United seems to be up there.
I´m one of the few liberals who think that Citizens United was the a good decision. The restrictions that would have been applied to corporate speech would also have been applied to unions and all sorts of other advocacy organizations. I´m strongly in favor of limiting corporate power, but restricting free expression is not the way to do it.
The supreme court does not have a perfect record in making its decisions based on constitutional law.
i was wondering what some people consider as the worst decisions made by the court. By definition, i am asking which supreme court decisions caused the most harm to American society
so if anyone has court decison they think earned the distinction of being among the worst, post a suggestion.

I'm waiting for the bible thumping religionists to show up and call the 14 supreme court decisions affirming marriage as a fundamental human right to be the worst supreme court cases of all time.
These people are probably also big fans of the Dred Scott decision so it doesn't really matter what they think.

why is it then when many people say this, they are not in favor of repealing the 17th amendment.

I seen some stupid, bigoted **** written in my day, and this is definitely up there.
Bush v Gore.
Robert Levy of the Cato Institute has a book call The Dirty Dozen. It lists his enumeration of the twelve worst Supreme Court decisions that haven't been overturned. After publishing, McConnell v. FEC and US v. Miller have been more or less overturned.
I generally agree that these opinions are abominations. Whether they are the worst, I'm not sure. They're definitely contenders.
What do you have against equal protection?
Nothing, and that wasn't an example of it.What do you have against equal protection?
Madison v Marbury. Every bad decision since then, and there have been many, derive from the power they took for themselves there.
Lol. Marbury v. Madison is one of the cornerstones of American government. It's impossible to imagine how different things would be without it. It's ridiculous to argue that that decision caused harm to society unless you were just thrilled with the way things were in the eighteenth century!
