you know what his wifes been up to right?“I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them. And then I wonder when they’re gone or destabilized, what we’re going to have as a country."
“The institution that I’m a part of — if someone said that one line of one opinion would be leaked by anyone, you would say, ‘Oh, that’s impossible. No one would ever do that.'" “There’s such a belief in the rule of law, belief in the court, belief in what we’re doing, that that was verboten.”
“And look where we are, where now that trust or that belief is gone forever. And when you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I’m in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin to look over your shoulder. It’s like kind of an infidelity, that you can explain it, but you can’t undo it.”
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas complaining about the leaked draft of the abortion opinion. One of the people who have played a big role in undermining and politicizing the Court at every turn. So much hypocrisy it hurts.

My prediction for what's going to happen soon, as the Democratic party is too "roll over and take it" the SCOTUS will not be expanded under Biden.
Then once they get gerymandered out of power and the Republicans are back in, the Republican's/Christian Taliban will expand it and pack even more hardliners into it for life.
And then you really will be screwed for at least half a century.

Biden just said today that expanding is off the table. Because he's a moron stuck in 1976.
We're headed for some real wierd shit with regards to interstate commerce right about now...
And you're probably correct.
But the UK is shite post Brexit and my brother doesn't have Canadian citizenship yet for me to head there :/

Yeah everyone knows about the upper level aggression. But it's the slider low at the bottom that really fucks you in the end but just making you think the upper level high pressure is the only problem.
So:
- Supreme court overturns rvw, leading to theocratic laws in half of states
- Supreme court rules that public school teachers can pressure students to join in prayer at public school events but can also retaliate against those that don’t join in.
- 8th circuit says boycotts are not protected by the First Amendment.
- West Virginia v. EPA due any day, could potentially undermine a swathe of federal powers and screw clean air standards.
WTF.

Just to go with all the other badness listed above, you possibly didn’t even notice this one:
The Scotus now says state sovereignty and judicial expediency are more important than actual getting a good judgment for a citizen. You now only have the right to quick and maybe correct justice. As the article says, this seems bad.

SCOTUS just quietly slashed your Sixth Amendment rights
The silence on social media is alarming — we should be very scared and very, very angry.

An extreme decision here could fundamentally alter the balance of power in setting election rules in the states and threaten future election subversion.

I'm of the opinion that it's already over. It's too late because the Dems have spent the last decade throwing the game playing slow pitch politics. Give it six more months and it will be official.
Nazi-ism took hold because 1/3 of the German population were too chicken-shit to actually oppose it, until it was too late.
“According to the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of U.S. adults 16-74 years old - about 130 million people - lack proficiency in literacy, reading below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.”
In the year 2000, the US ranked last for reading literacy amongst all English speaking countries. US education has supposedly degraded since then.
This made me cry-lol because of course religious people are much more likely to be represented in that 54%, and the most common versions of the bible are ranked as 10th or 12th grade reading level. There is of course a variety of bibles going right down to 3rd grade level. ‘God likes Jane. Jane likes God.’ You can see why repubs like the little short phrases eh? ‘Lock her up’ etc. Holy fuckballs.
Anyway the points are a) America desperately need to sort this out and b) probably a lot of people can’t even read their fucking bibles.

I was bemoaning to my wife that kids need to learn finacial literacy fairly early, she just rolled her eyes and said “I hope the problem with this is obvious to you, too”.
um, yeah.
um, yeah.
