I don't see why Watson v RNC is even controversial at all to the point of being a Supreme Court case.
It's effectively for the same reasons things like mandatory voter id are controversial in the US: claims by the Democrats that it will be used to disenfranchise minorities and similar claims, claims by the Republicans that this is all a cover for election fraud (which the Democrats insist totally never happens except for those times a few decades ago when it totally did but it totally hasn't happened since they swear).

Its not like a diplomat (or their child) can commit a homicide and the US will just ignore it and not prosecute.
That's, like, the whole point of diplomatic immunity.
Sure, but until the recentish past I always saw them as Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education. And the full name is far easier to Google.
From my recollection the trend started in earnest around the time of Obergefell v. Hodges, which the media seemed to love calling just Obergefell.
