The Lochner-II Court

From about the end of the Great War to about halfway into the Great Depression, the Supreme Court was on a right-wing ideological tear, from trying to make unions illegal to invalidating every move made to amerliorate the Great Depression. It was known as the "Lochner Court", from one of the more notoriously decisions that invalidated an attempt to regulate working conditions. (The era ended when the Court caved on programs to combat the Great Depression under a threat of court-packing.)

The Lochner Court is, to this day, regarded as one of the worst since the Taney Court (Dred Scott, among others). But it seems to me that this current Court is embarked on a similar ideological rip, viewing matters not through a lens of the law or precedent, but what best suits the ideology of at least five of the "conservative" justices. Which is why they're figuring out how to overturn Griswold v. CT, Obergefell v. Hodges and probably Loving v. VA. (I suspect that if they could figure out a way to invalidate the Thirteenth Amendment, they would.)

What would you think that historians are going to call this pack of ideological thugs in black robes? "The Thomas Court" overstates his influence, "the Roberts Court" overstates his leadership.

I think callling them "The Dobbs Court" will suffice. Your thoughts?

And the way that the Lochner Court was dealt with should have been instructive in 2021. It's too late now, unless Biden wins re-election.
