Can you point to the cases that concern you? I haven't been following it closely enough.

I'm sorry, I can't right now in detail. The general trend started with Citizens United and followed through Masterpiece is a increased set of precedents for corporate personhood, with some harsh dissents from the Alito/Thomas/Gorsuch contingent in cases where that was at issue (but corp. personhood side lost). When Kennedy retires and of Kavanaugh is his replacement, that will give put an awful lot on Robert's judgement as the swing decision. If I'm really getting picky, the lack of consistency in Trump v Hawaii and the Masterpiece case shows a certain amount of prioritizing partisan concerns over logical consistency (imo, ianal).
edit: taking corporate personhood to logical extremes reverses a lot prior precedent and I would have doubted it would have happened until recently.
