The Liberal Supreme Court
Commentary
This is a review of the Supreme Court’s constitutional decisions during its October 2020 term, which ended on June 30, 2021. (It’s called the October 2020 term because that’s when it began.) This review shows that, contrary to the mainstream media narrative, the court doesn’t have a “conservative majority.” In constitutional cases at least, it leans toward the liberal side.
SCOTUS Blog tells us that during this term the court’s most liberal justice, Sonya Sotomayor, was in the majority 70 percent of the time. But that includes cases interpreting federal
statutes, where conservatives won some victories. These included Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee (pdf), upholding Arizona’s election integrity law, and Pakdel v. San Francisco (pdf), helping landowners sue for compensation when government seizes their land.

A profanity-laced posting by Levy on Snapchat has ended up before the Supreme Court in the most significant case on student speech in more than 50 years. At issue in arguments to be heard Wednesday, April 28, 2021, via telephone, is whether public schools can discipline students over something they say off-campus. (Danna Singer/ACLU via AP)AP

A civil rights battle over the profane SnapChat posts of a disgruntled Pennsylvania high school cheerleader has gone all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In agreeing to hear an appeal by Mahoney Area School District, the justices will take up the issue of whether school officials have the right to discipline students for off-campus, after-school comments or if such speech is completely protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
