In a new piece for The Atlantic, Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Irvine School of Law, asks a critical question: What would it mean to have a liberal Supreme Court? Campaign finance, gun laws, voting rights, abortion rights – all of these are hugely consequential issues that the court could decide upon.
