Next up on the SCOTUS docket —SYG laws.

Seriously, I hope it goes that far.

It won’t. There’s not really anything actionable in the laws - in that respect they are very carefully crafted - so there is nothing there to overturn. That they are bad, racist laws is certainly true, but as state level laws with nothing that the federal government can claim jurisdiction over? Nope. Overturning more than a thousand years of common law precedent is not, alas, against the constitution.

The only real limit will be the use of federal lawsuits but even those could probably be legally capped by the congress and still pass constitutional muster.
