The American Experiment is Not Going Well (Part 4)
The GOP has been fighting to control the Supreme Court for decades. Mitch McConnell’s shameless power plays to install Kavanaugh and Barrett were just the latest machinations to co-opt the court.
When you consider the gutting of voting rights, the recent shadow docket rulings, and process Thomas’s silence on his wifes out treason, it’s clear that the third branch of the US government is now (openly) political. It is not independent, it is hard right. The leaked ruling also shows a court stacked with christian wingnuts out of touch with modernity. Strong majorities in every state are pro-choice and reversing Roe will put women back into the dark ages.
The Senate is where everything goes to die, the congress is a pay to play club where entry gets you insider trader access and a ticket to a lobbyist paycheck, and finally the supreme court is openly ruling based on medieval christian beliefs.
The Democrats seem to be just shrugging their shoulders and saying “what can we do?”. They have no fight.
