If Sanders was elected, his entire agenda became law... then SCOTUS

[Blue3]

Let's say President Bernie Sanders enacted his entire agenda into federal law, with a Democratic super-majority in Congress, in 2021-2022.

What would be struck-down by the Supreme Court?

I could see a conservative Supreme Court striking down a tax on net worth (rather than income) as unconstitutional, though admittedly that's more a Warren policy than a Sanders policy.

All of it (in the Courts current composition). Which is part of why Court Packing is absolutely necessary.

Yeah, a wealth tax as opposed to an income tax is clearly a direct tax and has to be apportioned by the States which is so complicated Congress never passes direct taxes. That said, I think we actually have the capability now to implement a direct tax that isn't a simple poll tax (poll as in per head, not per vote) Considering how such a tax would be apportioned, it would certainly make Wyoming howl. Vermont wouldn't have much reason to be happy either.

What about the plans on healthcare, education, energy/environment, housing, banking/finance, childcare, paid leave policies, criminal justice reform, and political reform?

Given that Obamacare barely survived in 2012 (NFIB v. Sebelius), and that challenge was generally seen as a longshot before it worked its way through the courts, I'd be quite concerned about how the Supreme Court handles any major legislation passed by Democrats. Any major health care law may, in a sense, be provisional until the Supreme Court upholds it. I would be especially concerned about the court's take on the constitutionality of banning private insurance.

A lot may depend on Roberts's notions of judicial restraint.

Even if it wasn't struck down, the GND as described on his website could not realistically be implemented in full.
