Hodges could still be overturned. Yes, you read that right. If you’ve been watching the news lately, you may find that statement counterintuitive or flat-out ridiculous at first, so let me explain: Originalist justices would overturn two of the most celebrated progressive court cases of the last 40 years, regardless of their personal political philosophy.
