LOVE THIS! President Biden was asked what we can do about the Supreme Court at his fundraiser with President Obama last night and he said “reelect me!” EXACTLY! Do you want Roe v. Wade back? Contraception protected? Gay marriage protected? Elect Joe.







brazenly corrupt & brazenly political

It's also part of the conservative effort to shrink, diminish and weaken the federal government

Regrettably, the the bump stock ruling is also consistent with their ruling 2 years ago limiting the power of the EPA to regulate carbon emissions and the decision a year ago to limit the power of the EPA to regulate wetlands and waterways.

SCOTUS will most likely curtail the clean air act and the EPA again this year.

Conservatives are using the courts, especially the Supreme Court, to impose their conservative agenda, knowing Congress wouldn't have been able to pass unpopular legislation including restricting abortion, limiting environmental regulations, undoing gun safety, gutting voting rights etc

Regrettably, the conservative controlled court is only going to get worse before it gets better.

Our best hope is that Biden replaces 2 justices in a second term (ideally Alito and Thomas)

After two terms in which a radical majority on the Supreme Court has clawed back long-cherished rights, precedents, and laws, the court has now set its sights on grabbing power from voters and gutting the ability of the government to serve American families. It is hearing a series of cases that, individually, would undermine core functions and operations of the federal government and, together, would incapacitate governance. Ultimately, this would thwart the will of voters by grabbing power away from the elected branches of government and instead resting them with unelected judges with lifetime tenure. The outcome of these cases could potentially allow judges to substitute their own political and policy preferences for those of Congress; disempower career civil servants, who are experts in their fields; and hamper the president’s ability to implement their agenda. Effective governance has delivered bedrock promises—air free of smog; water free of contamination; a safe and reliable banking system; and even a 40-hour workweek. All could be at risk.
