Photo of Andrew Jackson on a $20 bill is shown, Jan. 28, 2022, in Cleveland. Inflation is at a 40-year high. Stock prices are sinking. The Federal Reserve is making borrowing much costlier.

An anti-scaling fence surrounds the U.S. Supreme Court Thursday, May 5, 2022 in Washington. A draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court could be poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v.
