Eric Holder: "Despite the obstacles that the Roberts court and the Republican Party have put in front of them, citizens must use the power they have to vote in local, state and federal elections to begin to carve a path to ultimately achieve much-needed reforms. A focused and determined citizenry can slow or stop the erosion of our democratic norms":

A quotation from Henry Commager

Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

US Supreme Court’s uneven rulings in election lead-up causing chaos, experts say • Missouri Independent

When the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas’ gerrymandered congressional map to take effect in December, its conservative majority wrote that a lower court had “improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign” when it blocked the map more than three months before the election. Now, the Supreme Court is the one upending elections. For the […]
