Absolutely correct, and as I wrote above, it will not end here. What's left of the Voting Rights Act is now on the chopping block, IMHO, as is Obergefell, and maybe Loving v. Virginia (though I consider the Loving case to be "somewhat more safe" given that it was a 9-0 decision).

In normal circumstances, I would say you're exaggerating, but these are not normal circumstances anymore. I agree with you that many other formerly celebrated decisions could be on the line.
I really wish that I was just being alarmist or that my fears are/were exaggerated, but I've read through this opinion. The mealy-mouthed Alito "We're only ruling on this one issue" disclaimer notwithstanding, the language of the Court eviscerates all progressive precedents. I've also looked at who is on the current Supreme Court. Would you bet against ANY of what I have predicted?

I am sad to have to be in agreement with you. I am scared for this country.
Me, too, and I so wish that I am wrong in my fears.
