No one should ever forget that this nightmare started with the Rehnquist 5's anti-democracy, unconstitutional Bush vs Gore ruling on 12/12/00. That's what put our country on the path to dictatorship.

He, along with the other 5 traitors, have gone much further in dismantling US democratic principles and inserting autocratic rule by fiat instead. Just like the German judges during the nazi era, they are hiding their rulings behind excuses and that's when they don't use the 'shadow docket' to avoid ANY discussion, excuses or otherwise.

Black-robed traitors all: Rehnquist, O'Connor, Scalia, Kennedy, and Thomas, Bush v. Gore... and every criminal so-called SCOTUS "conservative" since.

than Rehnquist, sadly. The Dred Scott decision of 1857 has been described as the worst in the history of the Supreme Court. I would posit that the Roberts court will be considered the worst in the history of the Supreme Court considering the collective decisions made starting with Citizen United (or possibly even earlier) to this latest travesty of justice and we know for certain this treasonous group of six has more to come, they are far from finished, imo.

I continue to believe in people-power, even when we face such an uphill battle.

The citizens of Minnesota are proof that the power IS in the hands of the people when they choose to exercise it as was done there.

The mid-term elections and whatever comes next will be a pivotal point in what direction the country will go, imo.

Louisiana Advances One of the Cruelest Anti-Homeless Bills in the Country
https://invisiblepeople.tv/louisiana-advances-one-of-the-cruelest-anti-homeless-bills-in-the-country/

End Plantation Prisons
https://promiseofjustice.org/epp

Whatever state you are in, start lobbying electeds and candidates to commit to end partisan gerrymandering. And that means Republicans too, however long you think the odds. As the national and global damage of the felon's criminal war on Iran escalates week-by-week, some will actually be looking for ways to break with the toxicity of the trumpublican party. Those who condemned the gerrymandering war need to commit to Do Something to end the insanity.

gives Congress the authority to regulate the Supreme Court. Any cases involving elections in any way need to be taken away from Supreme Court and given to a non-partisan commission to rule on.

14. So the Supremes have overturned
Thu Apr 30, 2026, 12:13 PM

the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution?

The Amendments have the same "decades-old data" and "eradicated practices" that justify "extraordinary" federal intrusion into state affairs. The Amendments are why the voting rights act was passed.

Next up overturning the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Now the Dancing Supremes are overturning and rewriting the US Constitution. How special.
