What will happen to the U.S. if the supreme court become completely conservative?

Answer 1

They'll try to steal more Presidential elections. Furthermore, they'll boldly strike down virtually every liberal law on the books: minimum wage laws, rent-control laws, you-name-it.

Indeed, with Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito, I don't know of any reason why they could not do all of those things with just 5-4 votes. So the Court doesn't need to be "completely conservative," just conservative by a 5 to 4 margin.

Answer 2

Nothing,

In 1973 the USSC was almost completely conservative.

7 of the 9 justices had been appointed by republican presidents. Esienhower and Nixon.

And they issued the Roe V Wade abortion decision.

In fact the Justice who had been appointed by Kennedy, voted against Rove V Wade.

Even with the current court, when they make a conservative ruling, the left starts screaming about lost rights ( rights no one actually has yet)

But when they have made rather liberal rulings, no one mentions the court made a liberal ruling, then it;s seen, as they just made a normal ruling.

Unlike other government post, USSC justices, don't have to worry about offending the party that put them there, there is nothing that party can do to them now.

And justices hardly ever change previous rulings, unless something fundamantal has changed.

Answer 3

Party politics play little role in the supreme court. Judges on the court don't campaign, they are typically selected if they are aligned with the current president's party and their is a vacancy. It's also very difficult to remove them. For those reasons, they typically don't play party line politics and attempt to be neutral (that is their job after all). I don't think it would change too many things per se, I think a 100% conservative SC would not overrules Roe v. Wade instantly, even though they might want to. Nor do I think they would turn a blind eye to corruption.

Answer 4

Honestly, I consider myself more conservative than liberal and I think it would not be a good thing. We need balance on the court. Four conservatives, four liberals and a moderate for a swing vote. I also think if the Congress would ever have a two thirds majority any way, that would be a bad thing too. We have a democracy, which means different ideas and compromise.

Answer 5

It won't ever happen. The Senate needs to confirm any judicial appointments, and I doubt that both the President and Congress will be in total agreement about any candidate that is not a somewhat moderate compromise candidate. The court will always have some balance to it because the American Public and Congress will always have balance to it.

Answer 6

The rest of the government might be forced to operate according to the Constitution, instead of the unconstitutional mess we have now.

Answer 7

We would become a Totalitarian society, on the brink of dictatorship...a police state under martial law...

Answer 8

America would be on the path to becoming the way it was intended to be.

Answer 9

Reasonability comes from the bench.....
