Opinion: How much will the Supreme Court matter in the 2024 election?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : This would let Trump pick two justices who could be in their late 40s and early 50s, cementing an ultraconservative majority for a long time.
48% : If Trump wins, and there is a Republican Senate, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., both in their 70s, are likely to retire.
36% : What makes Glossip vs. Oklahoma unusual is that Oklahoma has conceded error and acknowledged the state's violation of the Constitution in not disclosing key evidence to the defense in the trial of Richard Glossip, who is now on death row for commissioning a murder.
29% : If Hillary Clinton rather than Donald Trump had won the 2016 presidential election, and if she had chosen three justices rather than Trump, the law would be dramatically different: Roe vs. Wade would not have been overruled, the court would not have ended affirmative action in higher education, there would not have been the dramatic expansion of gun rights, and the court would not have imposed dramatic new limits on the power of administrative agencies.
