US Supreme Court dealt Biden historic series of defeats
Story by John Kruzel • 23h
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - During his four years as president, Democrat Joe Biden experienced a sustained series of defeats at the U.S. Supreme Court, whose ascendant conservative majority blew holes in his agenda and dashed precedents long cherished by American liberals.
Despite the Biden administration's efforts to preserve it, the court - which has six conservative justices and three liberals - in 2022 overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had recognized a constitutional right to abortion.
The court in 2023 rejected race-conscious admissions policies defended by his administration that long had been used by colleges and universities to increase their numbers of Black, Hispanic and other minority students. In 2022, it expanded gun rights, rejecting his administration's position, and similarly in 2024 it invalidated a federal ban on "bump stock" devices that enable semiautomatic weapons to fire rapidly like machine guns.
