I wrote about the Supreme Court’s disastrous rulings and the context of the Right’s larger project to uphold traditional hierarchies of race, wealth/class, gender, and religion - all part of the attempt to halt the drive towards egalitarian, multiracial, pluralistic democracy.

This is still the Dobbs Court, despite the stupid legend of a 3-3-3 Court. It has gone rogue, occasional tactical restraint notwithstanding. The main reason why this Court has lost its legitimacy is not even the way the current majority came to be, but because of its actions.

The idea that those who founded America envisioned a super-body composed of unaccountable, all-powerful rulers clad in robes, free to turn against democracy itself and reign entirely outside the structure of institutions that make up the political system, is preposterous.
