Qasim Rashid, Esq.This SCOTUS has overturned 40 years of environmental protection precedent, 50 years of abortion precedent, 60 years of Affirmative Action precedent, & now 248 years of limited POTUS power precedent—& Dems still refuse to even try to expand SCOTUS or impeach the Justices. Come On!
I wrote about the absurdity of SCOTUS’s recent rulings and why we need Dems to act immediately if we hope to protect our democracy https://open.substack.com/pub/qasimrashid/p/scotus-hurtles-the-usa-towards-dictatorship?utm_source=app-post-stats-page&r=fyvxf&utm_medium=ios
Jon Het.@QasimRashid The dems and republicans, left and right wings of the same bird. They stay in power, and refuse to jeopardize that.
Texty the Bard@Jon_Kramer @QasimRashid False equivalence is a voter-suppression tactic.
@textualdeviance @QasimRashid So is gaslighting, jim crow, and thousands of other things. My favorite argument is if you have some sort of Star Trek replicator, and you replicate an orange, is it real orange juice you make from that orange?
In this case, I am stating a fact. The Ds and Rs are the same bird. Same donors, same desire to maintain power.
@Jon_Kramer @QasimRashid Bullshit. Let me guess: cishet white dude?
@textualdeviance @QasimRashid Wow. How astute you are. I mean "Jon", a male name, Christian or Jewish background, and "Het-Cis" right there in the nickname.
@Jon_Kramer @QasimRashid You've never experienced real oppression, so you're free to assume economic injustice is the only thing that matters.
Sit the fuck down and listen to those of us whose actual lives are at risk under theocratic fascism.
@Jon_Kramer @QasimRashid Right. Of course. Because who cares about anyone but broke white dudes, right?
Gross.
I desire we become better strangers.
Liam O'Mara IV, PhD@QasimRashid They won't. Liberals have always sided with fascists over socialists. They've done nothing over the last 70 years to halt this slide. Well, that's not true -- they've often helped it along.
Pete@QasimRashid Qasim, forgive my naïveté, but how does a (thin) GOP House majority and a tenuous Dem majority in the Senate go about packing the Court? Serious question. Looks like a non-starter from my view of the world.
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦@petep44 supreme court justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate. house has nothing to do with it.
@rysiek @QasimRashid Point taken but my comment was more directed at the political climate / LR Balance rather than just the numbers in the Senate. I wish I had some answers.
@petep44 abolish the Jim Crow filibuster and pass it through the senate. Use that as proof Dems will fight to protect democracy and rally people to win the House. Pass it in the House and Senate next term under a dem Presidency. Could have done this last session. Refused to and here we are.

@QasimRashid actually they do have a plan to impeach the justices. https://www.newsweek.com/supreme-court-justices-impeachment-aoc-1919728
