Outstanding. You succinctly and eloquently covered all the current egregious rulings of the Supreme Court that are pushing our country backwards. We both know these bigots have their sights on repealing same-sex marriage because if they are willing to rule against established law of decades, they will have no problem repealing a ruling that is less than a decade old. All of the Trump MAGA supporters who assured me that that would never happen have a lot of groveling to do, along with apologizing. We warned everyone that a Trump presidency would have long lasting and far-reaching consequences, but their bigotry and hatred for minorities, and seeing Trump as their only hope of having someone with similar beliefs to do their evil bidding, far outweighed any common sense that would normally prevail in US politics.
We’ll said Brian, and Adam Ellis’s artwork is chillingly accurate. Friday was scary and so telling of what this court intends to push through. If you’re not scared, you’re not paying attention. Everything we’ve marched, sat, and died for can go down the drain in a 6-count vote.
Thank you for writing this. I am so discouraged and angry at the rulings. It seems that the three branches of government are not working as checks and balances.
Precisely. All of the nonsense the right screamed about a decade ago—the left is legislating from the bench!—was simply projection: WE WANT TO LEGISLATE FROM THE BENCH!
That has been a tactic of the Right for decades…accuse the other side of things they do or want to do as a deflection, then pounce. If the Far Right is ever successful in converting our democracy into a totalitarian regime, all of these gun-loving ammosexuals will learn quite quickly how wrong they were because their previous guns will be the first to be confiscated. Authoritarian regimes do not want their citizenry armed.
I share your rage. My daughter is gay and her partner now has to return the college loan relief funding she had received. Double whammy.
<bitter_sarcasm>but hey, it doesn’t bother the ruling class, so who are we to complain?</bitter_sarcasm>
Exactly. We should just continue to eat cake. Cake that we can only get at liberal bakeries. 🍰

Thank you, Charlotte. I'm not sure what the Dems are waiting for, but impeachments and/or court expansion was needed last year.
