Essay:Reversible Court Decisions

From Conservapedia

The replacement of moderate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor by conservative Justice Samuel Alito makes it possible to overturn the following liberal Court decisions:

1. Texas Monthly, Inc. v. Bullock, 489 U.S. 1 (1989), a 6-3 decision invalidating a tax exemption limited to the sale of religious literature by religious organizations as preferential support of religion in violation of the Establishment Clause; Marshall and O'Connor were since replaced by Thomas and Alito.
2. Jackson v. Birmingham Bd. of Ed., a 5-4 decision establishing a cause of action for retaliation under Title IX
3. Hibbs v. Winn, a 5-4 decision rejecting application of the Tax Injunction Act to an Establishment Clause challenge to income-tax credits for payments to organizations that award educational scholarships and tuition grants to children attending private schools in Arizona.
4. Plyler v. Doe, a 5-4 decision declaring a constitutional right to a free public school education for illegal aliens.
5. Hill v. Colorado, a 6-3 decision limiting the First Amendment right of free speech within 100 feet of an abortion clinic.^[1]
