The constitutional crisis both parties created
That is what happens when rights are statutory instead of constitutional. They survive only as long as the justices permit.

Both political parties have contributed to a constitutional crisis by treating important rights as statutory laws. Statutory rights can be changed or removed by a simple majority in Congress. Because of this, the survival of those rights now depends on what the Supreme Court justices allow. This makes rights less stable and more vulnerable to political shifts.
Why it matters
When rights depend on court decisions rather than the Constitution, they can be lost more easily. This affects everyday freedoms and the trust people have in the government.
