Overturning Roe, immunity for Trump, giving him control of independent federal agencies, gutting the Civil Rights Act... I'm sure there is more.

The subject title of my post included the word "still" which means this SCOTUS is still the worst - despite this favorable ruling.

Perhaps "nevertheless" would have been a better word, making it less likely my meaning would be misinterpreted.
