20. SCOTUS has caused, and unless we are badly mistaken, will cause...obstacles.

For some, they will be obstacles that they have to struggle to overcome in order to get on with their lives.

For some, it will be the single worst time in their lives.

For some, it will be the end of their lives.

This is...I don't know a single word that would sum it up, so I'll say "outrage." An outrage perpetrated by people that seem to want to live in a dystopia a la Margaret Atwood, or a Puritan nightmare like Nathaniel Hawthorne. Both cautionary tales set in New England, but too many people seem to have ignored the warnings.

Or, maybe the Barretts and Kavanaughs of the world just want people they don't approve of to live in one.
