Know what would destroy the Roberts Court faster than anything? A Judges' Revolt.

If I were a federal judge, I'd decline to honor any of the controversial Roberts Court decisions. I'd openly say, "that decision is not good law because the Court as currently constituted is corrupt and illegitimate, and to follow its decrees would be to violate my oath to the Constitution."

Impeach me. Do it. See if you can get the Senate votes. Otherwise, I'm appointed for life. Now imagine if dozens of federal judges, trial and appellate, did the same thing.

Yes, I am a lawyer. Yes, I am serious.

Trump ran by far the most corrupt presidency in American history. He -- and the people he appointed to federal jobs -- used their offices to enrich themselves and their corrupt friends, and abused their powers in countless ways.

(Our feckless press never even tried to explain how broad and deep the corruption ran.)

Now, with immunity, it's almost unimaginable what a new Trump world in Washington (and beyond) would do.

Imagine the absolute worst, and expand on that. You'll be close.

There are some conversations I'm just too old for, and "social spending doesn't solve problems" is one of them. I've literally watched education, health care, housing, local news, and public transit be systemically defunded, dismantled, and neglected for most of my almost 47 years of life. *My* classrooms ballooned from 20 kids to 30, *my* band class, french immersion, enrichment programs were disrupted by cost-cutting measures, *my* tuition was 4x the tuition of students just 5 years older than me, lower-middle class kids of *my* generation and later are the ones working two or three precarious jobs (if we aren't already disabled by toxic workplaces) for half as much on a slow-cooking planet, watching the price of even the dilapidated shacks always shift just out of our reach while billionaires take pleasure cruises to outer space.

I am NOT a person to take "social spending doesn't do anything" when I saw just how much social cost-cutting fucking destroyed dreams for two-going-on-three generations, lol.
