That viewpoint was summed up by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who in a 2007 decision striking down a school busing plan meant to achieve greater racial balance wrote, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" — in other words, trying to create a more level playing field for black children was discrimination itself.

The ACLU and others may believe the new Trump travel directives are just as problematic as the old ones, but, according to the Justice Department, the latest policy is so substantially different that the Supreme Court should wait for lower courts to weigh in on it, rather than rushing to anticipate flaws in the new policy based on appellate decisions striking down the old one.

Moreover, the appeals court's ruling — which in all likelihood punted any final disposition on the case until after the 2020 elections — eliminates what some Republicans saw as a nightmare scenario: If the court had embraced a lower court ruling striking down the law in its entirety, it would have put the issue before the Supreme Court during the heat of the election, putting tens of millions of Americans' health insurance at risk.

And just as in the early decades of the 20th century, when a conservative-dominated Supreme Court repeatedly struck down progressive economic policies like child labor and minimum-wage laws leading up to the New Deal fight, Democrats fear that the new majority will systematically crush their achievements — not just hollowing out past gains like abortion rights, but also striking down programs they hope to enact if they regain power, like expanding Medicare or efforts to curb climate change.

"If President Trump continues to ignore the demands of the public to release his tax returns, and if the majority party in Congress continues to aid and abet him in this secrecy by striking down efforts to compel Trump to release his tax returns, the American people will rise up and speak with their feet on Tax Day as they march on Washington and across the country to demand transparency," said Anna Chu, a Tax March executive committee member and vice president for income security and education at the National Women's Law Center.
