At some point we need to ask ourselves: is this a country or a collection of Greek city-states? And if it is a country, what makes it one? That is what we should pursue.
We need creative legal minds who understand the seriousness of this threat. I've never seen SCOTUS contradict its own rulings with such alacrity. It's like they don't realize that Supreme Court judges can be impeached.
They know that SCOTUS justices can be impeached. However, what conservative SCOTUS justices—and the right in general—know, is that they can count on Dems and the left to unilaterally disarm themselves by never doing anything that might disturb the status quo.
For instance, why do you think SCOTUS felt comfortable with giving virtually absolute immunity to presidents in July 2024, when Biden still had 6 months left in the White House? Because they knew that there was 0 chance that Biden would take any kind of action that might benefit from said immunity.
In essence they know that the left is satisfied with allowing them to "play" by substantially different rules that the left itself would never attempt to use.
We really need to get our side to quit doing this unilateral disarmament.
We also need to state what we want. I do not want these spineless democrats as a replacement. They are cowards. What I want is for America to fulfill its promise to we the people. America must be brave, kind and generous. Here is a draft/ framework for a vision.
NATIONWIDE STRIKE WE NEED TO SAVE OURSELVES
I'm afraid you're right. And some of us are getting tired of them going high when the opposition goes low...& STAYS low!
