Excellent summary. I’ve seen the backlash to the sixties from the beginning when Reagan was elected, and they haven’t stopped since and they won’t stop until they’ve dragged us back to the antebellum era. They’re ruthless and cruel and will do anything necessary to win. I laugh at all the Republican pundits who look around and wonder what happened to their party. They’ve always been the same. I want to scream every time someone says Congress is spineless. They’re not spineless, they’re complicit! This is what they’ve wanted for decades.
I love the way you go to the heart of the matter and expose/elaborate connections which, once considered, require that everything needs be rephrased and rethought through -- which is the work you do. Thank you.
Nah, There’s No Racism In America: Nazi Republican SCOTUS
As was expected the heavy handed Federalist Society laden SCOTUS has now completely eroded the VRA in yesterday's ruling in Louisiana v Callais delegitimizing Section 2(https://bit.ly/4t1r7Lx) The conservative Court has been hard at work to get rid of the last of the VRA for the last 20+ years and they finally accomplished what chief justice Roberts(when appointed in 2005 he made VRA a target) has called “unnecessary” rights of minority groups since the country has moved far beyond where it was in the 1960’s In essence the court has leaned on the idea that racism no longer exists, giving it the excuse to get rid of voting rights protections in red heavy states
Now that the Court has ruled so this puts in play many red states legislatures to gerrymander the heck out of their already gerrymandered maps to increase the numbers of CNPP(Christian Nationalist Ped Party) reps in these states As the has said over the decades the VRA gave unfair advantage to the Democrats and now that the VRA has been dismissed, it’s time for the Nazi Republicans to make hay
This is even more reason for heavy voter turnout for the midterms to show the CNPP that immorality, lying, and fraud are not what WE the People want our government to be about In her dissent, Kagan said that under the court’s decision, “a State can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power” It’s time for SCOTUS reform to dilute the power of the court and make it more reflective of the American people’s opinion as racism is NOT dead in America and WE the People deserve righteous representation not partisan gerrymandering Show Up To VOTE
One of the surgical solutions is preop chemotherapy which in using the metaphor is EXPANSION OF THE COURT
I was totally unaware of the history on John Roberts. It’s should be very troubling to all of us.
A scathing indictment of how certain people have gotten away with treason.
