This November, the future of the Supreme Court is on the ballot | Robert Reich blog |

Trump appointed three justices in his first term -- more than any president since Ronald Reagan. And thanks to them, Trump was able to get rid of Roe v. Wade, affirmative action, and gun safety laws -- even after he left office.

If Trump is re-elected, 76-year-old Justice Clarence Thomas and 74-year-old Justice Samuel Alito could retire, giving Trump a chance to appoint a fourth and fifth justice. That's five out of nine justices. Trump would be the first president in more than a half century to appoint a majority of the Supreme Court.

And not just a "conservative" majority -- but a MAGA majority  that would work in lockstep with an authoritarian president.
