After being led late Thursday to choose one from many relevant prophetic words, that on the Lord resetting Time in America: This Is Your Hour, I found that very same day Jonathan Turley, Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University who teaches on the US Constitution and the Supreme Court, published this on his blog:

‘The election means that court-packing schemes are now effectively scuttled despite the support of Democratic senators like Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D., R.I.). Given Kamala Harris’s reported support, the Supreme Court dodged one of the greatest threats to its integrity in its history.
The impact on the law will also be pronounced. Returning the issue of abortion to the states will remain unchanged. A younger generation will grow up in a country where the voters of each state are allowed to determine what limits to place on abortions.’
Author of The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage Jonathan concludes (emphasis mine):
‘The rage will continue and likely rise in the coming years. However, this critical institution just moved out of harm’s way in this election. It will remain the key stabilizing institution in the most successful constitutional system in history.’
