Gerrymandering helps the current occupant; profiling doesn’t.

ABOLISH THE SUPREME COURT

They are no longer legitimate or pro-Democracy. Too many bad and unconstitutional decisions have made them pointless.

No - don’t abolish.

Pack.

I feel sick to my stomach.

I can’t help but wonder how @pluckyinky is doing these days. We miss you.

There is conservative, and then there is racist. In the final analysis, this is the most racist decision this court has made yet. And Alito’s justifications are a slap in the face to every minority in the country. These 6 think they are clever, but they are simply evil at this point.

Just increase the number of justices to 13, which is equal to the number of circuit courts.

I suppose she does look a little glum. But on a better day, I’ll bet she would look thoughtful and hypnotic to you.

I’d call them rat bastards, but that would be unfair to rats.

“Vast social change has occurred throughout the country and particularly in the South, which have made great strides in ending entrenched racial discrimination,” Alito wrote.

Faulkner – and America – disagrees.

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”

Disgustingly predictable. All that bad press and they just stuck their fingers in the eyes of us all. Why any person of color would now support this administration and by extention, this supreme court is beyond me. Roberts and Trump will forever seal their their fates in books on history of this era. They are racist to the core. Thomas, a Black man himself is an Uncle Tom from here to eternity, don’t you think?

Much of the responsibility for the configuration of this court, and its subsequent decision making, lies at the doorstep of Mitch McConnell.

The self-loathing of Clarence Thomas is astounding. But he repeatedly turns it outward to use as a weapon against this country.

decision that eviscerated the VRA

Republicans therefore establish:

  1. Roberts and Thomas say we’re all one now. Discrimination isn’t possible, so feel free to discriminate against whites. Just be sure to call it “fairness” instead.
     
  2. Conservative politicians were lying. Activist judges make the best judges.

Conservatives think they can change history and prove instead that history cannot change them.

The only sane alternative. One of many reforms if the US is to restore government by the people, but an absolutely essential step. Can it be made to work, tho, with this SC?

Yes!
