I had the same concerns! My first thought was enforcement of equal voting rights, especially now that the VRA's been gutted, but the knock-on effects transfer all over. Marriage equality, Rowe v. Wade adherence or gigantic lack thereof, essentially any form of discrimination not explicitly forbidden by the constitution as it now stands... And I could also easily be missing something here; I'm a nerdy commsworker specialist, not an attorney. I won't deny, I'm delighted over the idea of greater safety for immigrants everywhere, but the wider picture's--um. This makes me very wary. Makes RBG and Sotomayor wary too, by the sound of it, so we've at least landed in auspicious company.
