10. I'm guessing you think the Dred Scott decision was the worst?

But I think the fugitive slave laws were actually the 2nd worse. They remind me of the Indiana and Texas abortion laws that the Supremes have upheld, that seek to capture women and prevent them from going to other states for abortions with tattletale laws and weaponized civil court lawsuits.

Ok, so now it's the 4th worst? Then there is Bush v Gore.....so many bad laws supported by so many awful people on the Supreme Court.
