Elie Mystal- The Supreme Court must be made to pay a price—a political, institutional, professional price—for its ongoing political thuggery lightly disguised as jurisprudence. Its members will never stop acting like the only nine Americans who matter until we stop them from doing that. And the only way to stop them is to limit their power, their budgets, and their unearned belief in their own supremacy.

The problem is aided and abetted by the elected branches of government. The Supreme Court has no army, but all presidents (except the last one) are willing to enforce the court’s rulings, even when those rulings are unmoored from reason or logic or fundamental fairness.

But the court’s greatest institutional accomplice is the media, which largely insists on covering the nine law shamans as they wish to be covered, instead of as the unelected, unaccountable poison that enfeebles the rest of American democracy.

White Supremacist’s Patriarchy whittles the Fourteenth into a corporate bulwark, humans need not apply: the men wrote into law limits not just on whether states can enforce Section 3 against “federal officeholders and candidates” but also how the federal government can do so.

The #SettlerColonialSCOTUSMustBeExpanded that unanimously backs qualified immunity finds CRT isn’t history: And it will likely do it on the strength of a unanimous, 9-0 ruling, with all the justices joining together to shout “prank caller” at the 14th Amendment and its clear calls to exclude insurrectionists from office.
