As far as I know it is.
- overturned Roe v. Wade
- made it easier to carry guns
- eliminated consequences for not giving Miranda rights
- killed EPA’s ability to make regulations to combat climate change
- decision on prayer case allowing the coach to pray on the field
I am sure I left some out but those are the ones that come to mind
Undoing Roe is awful. Kneecapping environmental regulation is existential. This Supreme Court has just come down on the side of civilizational collapse.

Well, that whole entire Supreme Court term sucked ass.

Not a bad summary, sadly. Not every case, of course, manifests this "We're doing this because we can" attitude, but all the blockbusters do. We're now governed by an elite cabal of dubious legitimacy, the quintessential tyranny of the minority. This can't be allowed to stand. https://t.co/sKenlEMSSj

Chuck Schumer goes after the “MAGA Court” after recent SCOTUS rulings.

“First on gun safety, then on abortion, and now on the environment – this MAGA, regressive, extremist Supreme Court is intent on setting America back decades, if not centuries,” Schumer says in a statement. pic.twitter.com/49CElAHpWl

The Supreme Court has gone rogue. We are in a full-blown Constitutional crisis. Congress must act. And we must pressure Congress to act, while it still can. #TheMajority

In one term, the extremist Supreme Court:
— Sawyer Hackett (@SawyerHackett) June 30, 2022
-overturns Roe v. Wade
-guts Miranda rights
-ends regulations on open-carry of guns
-allows prayer in schools by employees
-ends federal regulation of greenhouse gases
an unmitigated disaster of a Supreme Court Term. and only 25 or so more to go…

The Supreme Court has moved relentlessly to the right, issuing blockbuster decisions on cases from abortion to climate change that will transform U.S. life. By one standard measurement, the term that ended this week was the most conservative since 1931. https://t.co/WpQ1DdX8bS

It’s now abundantly clear that Trump’s appointees are in control of this court, and they’re not searching for consensus. https://t.co/iHxY8hWrog

The Supreme Court is historically right wing – and historically polarized. 21% of decisions were split by the party of the appointing president, which is unprecedented in the modern era.

The signature moment of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority — overturning Roe v. Wade — would have been enough to highlight the term.
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) July 2, 2022
But the justices of what scholars say is one of the most conservative courts in decades did far more than that. https://t.co/nV8PfhZu0b
The Supreme Court rules this country with ruthless efficiency and unchecked power. This term provided only a taste of what the 6–3 supermajority has in store for us. https://t.co/ntiUlOWYNw pic.twitter.com/ra3Hhzr2vt

I'm hard-pressed to think of a more momentous Term in the Supreme Court's history. Ever.

Maybe there have been individual decisions that were more important, but the number of significant, paradigm-shifting rulings, and all in the *same* direction, really has no precedent IMHO.
Sad!
