It would be easy for others to think I’ve succumbed to the conspiratorial mindset that has gripped today’s GOP, but this SCOTUS has EARNED my distrust. Overturning Roe v Wade cost the Republicans their red wave in the midterms.
This Court did not rule against banning mifepristone, they merely said that the group who brought the suit lacked standing, thereby leaving the door open, at a point in time when it won’t become a lightning rod to defeat trump and Republicans in this upcoming election.
Remember that Jack Smith asked them to take the case of Presidential Immunity back in December, but they declined to do so. They are never going to rule in favor of absolute immunity, because that was never the point. Like Judge Aileen Cannon, their goal was (is) to ensure that trump doesn’t have to face trial before the election, and they have achieved that goal with their slow-walking of the issue.
Is it really a stretch to conclude that they are still playing politics in this ruling? When they lack ethics, when they accept “gifts” that exceed millions (from persons who later have cases brought before them), when they fly flags supporting trump’s attempted coup, I can only conclude that they are bought and paid for, and are delivering for their benefactors.
Now SCOTUS has reversed the ban on "bump stocks" (essentially turns guns into machine guns).
We not only must win this election at the presidential level - we have to have sizeable majorities in both the House and Senate so we can start passing long-overdue legislation - protect voting rights, make election day a national holiday, common-sense gun laws that even a majority of gun owners support, women's health care freedom, and so much more! And very high on that list is blunting the impact of Citizens' United and all of the dark money that has been allowed to infect our political system.
Not a word on yesterday's Supreme Court ruling???

We MUST win this election….
The US judicial system: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. “

Amen! Will be very hard to do in this divided country where we allow disinformation & state propaganda to be spewed in the name of free speech
Yes, the most watched "news" network is 24/7 far right propaganda. It is played in waiting rooms and army bases. There is no way to combat it.
Obama's biggest mistake in 2016 was not using the bully pulpit to make the election about the Court.
