The court has become increasingly partisan since October 2020, when it gained a six-three conservative supermajority.
On Monday, an initial draft majority opinion of the Supreme Court was leaked to the public, showing the court intends to vote to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which guaranteed broad access to abortion in every state. The final decision from the court is expected in roughly two months, but the leaked majority opinion suggests that anti-abortion activists will be declaring a victory, overturning the 1973 legislation. The leaked draft, revealed and obtained by Politico, said that abortion rights should be determined individually by each state. The court has become increasingly partisan since October 2020, when in the final weeks of Donald Trump ‘s presidency, it gained a six-three supermajority of conservative over liberal judges. Here are the Supreme Court Justices and the presidents that appointed them: Robert is a conservative judge who was appointed by George W. Bush as chief justice of the court in 2005, taking his seat on September 29 that year. The New York-born judge was previously United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2003, and formerly served as an associate counsel to President Ronald Reagan and in the White House. Later, between 1989 and 1993, he was the principal deputy solicitor general at the U. S Department of Justice. His track record suggests he supports some abortion restrictions, but it is not yet clear how he will vote on whether to uphold Roe v. Wade. President George Bush nominated Thomas as an associate justice and he took his seat on October 23,1991. The Georgia native worked as assistant secretary for civil rights, U.S. Department of Education and chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission during the 1980s. Between 1990 and 1991, he served as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
