In your opinion, what's the worst supreme court decision ever made?

My vote is Wickard v Filburn, but I'm looking to educate myself on other horrible decisions.
ETA:
Summary: Dramatically expanded power of the commerce clause of fed. government. Centered around a farmer being penalized for growing too much wheat due to restrictions/regs. at the time, even though he was using all the wheat as feedstock for his own animals on his own farm.

Citizens United

Companies can contribute to and effectively buy federal elections as if a person because legal fiction that companies are persons for other purposes.

Roe v. Wade.

Doesn't the individual limit on campaign contributions also apply to companies though?

R v W and Citizens United are close.

Clearly you never read the Citizens United decision.
The only people who hate Citizens United never read the actual decision and rely on the media’s vapid and inaccurate summary.

Marbury v. Madison
Gave us judicial review and set the stage for the SCOTUS to exercise WAY more power than ever intended.

They are born, taxed, can be sued and die. They are created as legal beings like it or not. Want to fix C.U.? Do away with the creation of corporations as we are doing. I have no problem with that.
I am more upset with people voting that don't pay taxes and want more stuff. That bothers me more than C.U.

Depends if you are looking at the decision in a vacuum or the decision in ultimate effect.
You could argue Plessy and Dred Scott but both bad decision led to very positive government action eventually.
The same can’t be said for Wickard and Kelo.

Worse than Roe and that's bad. Roberts will go down in history unfavorably for this.

Agreement. My God John Roberts is a disappointment. Stupid Bush Uniparty Sellout.

That’s simply not true when you look at the history of the formation of the government and the way judicial review was already being practiced at the time of the decision.

I'm with you in Wickard.

Respectfully, I disagree. Look at the The Federalist Papers. The judicial branch was intended to be the weakest branch. It certainly was not intended to the the ultimate and final authority as to what is, and isn't constitutional.

Wickard v Filburn
Worst since Wickard, for my money, is Griggs v Duke Power, which foisted "disparate impact" onto an unsuspecting public.

Juridical personhood has been around since Justintine. It would be an economical and social disaster to do away with it. In fact, it’s probably one of the fundamental social constructs responsible for the success of Western Civilization.
