To recap: Supreme Court justices nominated by a president who lost the popular vote and confirmed by Senators representing far less than half the country have eliminated abortion rights, green-lighted anti-LGBTQ discrimination, and ended affirmative action.

In one year.

@juddlegum
Wait until Uncle Clarence writes the majority opinion declaring his own marriage unconstitutional and must be dissolved immediately.
@GeorgeCarlinWasRight @juddlegum he'll carve out an exception for himself, right next to Alito's majority opinion stating that religions deserve the right to condemn and make illegal all NEW marriages just like Unca Clarence's and of course, all LGBTQs.
@godofbiscuits @juddlegum
No doubt. It's all over for all but the Oligarchs, the long bad cultural civil war will last decades as the country rots.
@GeorgeCarlinWasRight @godofbiscuits @juddlegum that’s the big elephant no one talks about
@Savera @GeorgeCarlinWasRight @juddlegum they do, they just use different words and let their voters believe they’ll be on the “over” side in any/every over/under calculus that happens.

@juddlegum And the conservative Supreme Court Justices act offended if you question their undeclared gifts or expect them to have a Code of Ethics like any other Court.

Supreme Court reform needs to move to the top of the Democratic agenda in 2024.

@danwentzel @juddlegum Every Dem candidate just needs to play Trump's own audio saying he got those 3 judges on the court defeating Roe and what "loving” people the pro-life folks are, whille showing clips of how violent they are, along with tweets showing their true colors.
@danwentzel @juddlegum
Biden needs to ignore the SCOTUS ruling and send the checks.

@juddlegum Rise up & get involved. This court is sending us back in time taking away our rights. In ONE year. Get involved & don't be silent.
@juddlegum and voted for by judges who are guilty of #corruption, #graft, and a lack of #judicialethics, which mean they can be constitutionally removed from the court.

@juddlegum
This Court has relegated women, minorities and LGBTQIA people to second-class citizen status in a year; they rule FOR religion when the US is not a theocracy, and many Justices can be considered corrupt and compromised.

This Court is not representative of American demographics, political affiliation, nor values held in common.

The last three Justices perjured themselves during their confirmation hearings in vowing to uphold Roe precedent, and Kavanaugh also lied about sexual assault.

To whom are these Justices accountable as they rip apart the fabric we have come to rely on in our country? If what value is precedent if Justices funded by oligarchs can undo it?

It’s time for deep changes to this deeply flawed body.

#ExpandTheCourt

@juddlegum and some people still think an acceptable response is waiting 20 years for two of them to hopefully die of old age at the right time. Delusional. This court has to be immediately changed.

@juddlegum
Most straight people I know are absolutely sure that gay marriage is not on the chopping block.

I don't know of a single queer person who feels that way, at all.

@juddlegum
I am not sure what this should be called, but it can't be called democracy.
@juddlegum The GOP knew what they were doing getting behind Trump, they're getting everything they wanted
@juddlegum Greatest country in the world my ass.
@juddlegum The last two of these happened in one day.
@juddlegum yes, because they know if people will keep requesting popular policies, they never have a chance. So they are actually willing to do all, even destroying country, to get what they want.
Turns out money does not make someone pragmatical.
@juddlegum and the Dems will use it to blackmail us again.
@juddlegum There is NOTHING Supreme about this Court; it contains a collection of 6 political hacks that are currently in the PAY of the worst of the worst in Corporate America & Ring Wing zealots!!!!

@juddlegum Will the social media zombie generation wake up and vote in numbers so overwhelming that MAGA white nationalist Americans have to go back where they came from?! Meh, probably not if you can’t do it on tic-tok. Watching democracy die while doom-scrolling the end of a viable future environment or any factual capitalistic freedom is awesome for the LOLs.
@juddlegum root of the problem is the great compromise of 1787 that allowed each state to have equal representation in senate.Add the term limit issue on judiciary, we have a complex issue that cannot be solved that easily. It is quite easy to manipulate the small set of voters in key states to get what one side wants.
@juddlegum yup unfortunately. Hang on for more. As an immigrant I’m so sad
@juddlegum it’s been a hell of a decade and it’s only 2023.
@juddlegum And limited the abilities of the EPA in the midst of an unprecedented global environmental crisis
@juddlegum And limited states from being able to restrict gun carrying
@juddlegum Working hard or hardly working? Quite the dilemma! These masterful illusionists effortlessly make it seem like they're busy while accomplishing nothing. Bravo!

@juddlegum
#minorityrule now flipped on its head.

the great white freak-out; they're convinced their voices will never be heard again, if they don't break all the rules now.

next they'll want to return to a 3/5th's rule for majority black counties...

@juddlegum
but that is the likely outcome now more than ever, if America's young voters turn out to vote again...
@rexi @juddlegum That's nearly what Gerrymandering is
@juddlegum the best thing they did.. forcing people illogically will generate resistance. You accept it when the far left imposes their ideology on us but not the other way?
@ConEng @juddlegum Far Left 🙄
What is that, extreme equality?
@juddlegum half a year. There's still 6 months left
@juddlegum And Republicans are GLEEFUL
@juddlegum + I'm pretty sure there's more to look forward to.... 😭
@juddlegum
Just normality in the US because elected Centrists won't seriously fight.
@juddlegum
Friend asked me if I would like to go on vacation to America with her. Why would I ever want to go there? So many, much more civilised countries to see in the world.
@juddlegum This is why anti-democratic concepts like the Electoral College and the Senate need to be abolished and the apportionment act repealed allowing actual proportional representation.

@juddlegum *cracks open history book to see how we got here over 40 years at least and to see where we are going*

Yep... that's about it...

And it gets worse...
