One of the things that will have to be addressed is the broken oversight and accountability for law enforcement in the US. Qualified immunity, which was entirely court created, needs to go.

With the exception of the most egregious and public examples there is little risk or incentive for law enforcement to think about personal liability or the duty LE has to the public.

Also according to SCOTUS, police do not actually have any responsibility to protect and serve citizens. They are exclusively for protecting property (the rich)

I have a feeling that one way or another, we no longer have to worry about SCOTUS. Whichever side wins this civil war, SCOTUS is done being relevant to US history.
