The worst SCOTUS decisions

[George K]

We decided to ask self-identified conservative and libertarian legal scholars to send us their own lists of what they considered to be the Court’s worst opinions.

Overall, our Dishonor Roll of opinions fell into four broad conceptual groups, the first of which included decisions that denied the full humanity of others. A second group represented the abuse of judicial power through the creation of nonexistent constitutional rights. Opinions in the third group failed to recognize or enforce limits on government power that actually are in the Constitution. And a final group consisted of opinions fundamentally misunderstanding the relationship of church and state and the contours of religious freedom.

Is there a list compiled from responses from self-identified liberal legal scholars?

Lots of recency bias there. At least they put Dred Scott first.

Recency bias or a change in how the court does business?
