Summary

The final US Supreme Court decisions of the term continue the assault on Reconstruction-era federal law, suborning the “neo-Confederate” agenda of reasserting racialized citizenship and dismantling protections clearly intended to be enshrined in US law in the Reconstruction Constitutional amendments. By restricting judicial orders to named plaintiffs, the Court once again attempts to curb collective legal remedy, hinting perhaps that the next step may be a frontal assault on birthright citizenship. These maneuvers are not isolated; they reflect a broader effort to preserve legal standing for whiteness. As politically backward states like South Carolina restrict access to health care and religious zealots seek the Court’s blessing to opt out of tolerance for others, the messages seem clear: Protect a narrow ideological whiteness, shield elite interests, and suppress the multiracial majority through judicial capture. This week’s New York City mayoral primary signaled that such a strategy is doomed to long-term failure when people mobilize to resist. A central question lingers: What does freedom mean now, and for whom?
