“What makes a Supreme Court decision bad? And what are the worst precedents handed down by our highest court? I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently, and here are my nominees for the worst SCOTUS opinions to date. The standard I’m using for ‘worst’ is three-fold. First, the holding of the case is unambiguously still guiding precedent. Second, the holding of the case is inconsistent with the Constitution. Third, the case either A) has egregious consequences for individual liberty or B) is clearly ideological- or policy-driven rubbish as a matter of constitutional law (whether or not I happen to like the consequences).”
