Pacing and the Unshed

 

It's a coup. The United States of America has been taken over by a radical extremist right-wing junta of six activist judges, half of whom were appointed by the worst, most rotten president in U.S. history with the willing assistance of the Senate's Moscow Mitch. 

The court was already leaning far to the right with Citizens United, allowing almost unlimited corporate money for political campaigns, and the repeal of the Voting Rights Act. But with the appointments of Anne Gorsuch's son, Keg-Stand Kavanaugh, and the handmaiden Amy Bony Carrot, any and all restraints were removed. They reversed Roe v. Wade, narrowed the scope of the federal bribery laws, affirmed the right to discriminate against gays, approved gerrymandering, and denied student-loan forgiveness while still allowing subsidies to big oil and other industries. 

And for the finale, to complete the coup and give themselves absolute power, they made it harder to charge January 6 defendants with obstruction, overturned Chevron and ruled that the justices, not government agencies, can interpret Congressional acts to set standards and enforce regulations. Then they ruled that the President has absolute immunity for official acts, and they are the only ones to determine what's official and what's not.

Does anyone honestly believe that they wouldn't rule that Trump paying off a porn star is an official act, but that Biden implementing immigration reform isn't?  

The six right-wing justices have basically neutered Congress and set themselves up to oversee the Executive Branch. The President is no longer the most powerful person in the world, or even the country. The six justices are. 

Like this country's Founding Fathers, I bow to no king, and I will not bend the knee to this court or its manufactured chief executive. I do not recognize their legitimacy or their authority. On this matter, I do not think, or speak, or write with moderation. I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.
