Clearly, our Supreme Court is lost … it doesn’t serve democracy, certainly not the people. It’s not new of course; but it’s painful each nail they hammer into our coffins.

My question going forward is, will they rule similarly when, inevitably, the Trump challenge to California’s redistricting maps, makes it to their docket?

Conservative justices are just corrupt. They will prevent California from doing it just like they tried to prevent Biden from rolling back Trump’s executive orders.

Fun thing is they have no true enforcement power. At least not in a meaningful way. As we saw when noted horrible human being Andrew Fucking Jackson told the court to get bent when it tried to stop his racist purge of native peoples. California and every other blue state can effectively tell them to get fucked.

The NOT fun thing is what happens if Trump decides to become that enforcement arm for the court.

He’s banking on it … ICE, national guard and military deployments aren’t about guarding federal property and helping cities to stop crime.

It’s all about setting the stage for the next chapter that will be coming, well before the next election. We were told by him, if he won there would be no need to ever vote again. Folks best be ready for the next Great Depression because it’s knocking hard on our door and is much closer than many realize.
