The court started by wiping away , and ended its most recent term by throwing away federal agency provisions including long-established environmental policy, making it illegal for the unhoused to live on the streets when they have nowhere else to go, and giving presidential immunity from prosecution from "official acts" except to this court which is implying that Trump can try and overturn an election, and overthrow a government.
Layer this on top of scandalous, outrageous illicit, or illegal behavior by the court's justices, most particularly Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, and what you have is a kangaroo court reminiscent of a country that is far removed from the freedoms of the 21st century.
All the while, I am gobsmacked by the tepid response of Democrats and their leaders, who after every strike against our democracy, against established precedent and overt graft, go to Twitter or X or whatever it is, and whine, put out repetitive talking point statements feigning outrage, and just roll over and not even attempt to do anything.
President Biden spoke volumes last night, contrasting himself with Trump by saying he would never commit a crime and rely on immunity. He told voters what was at stake. But what he did not do was tell the American people what Democrats would do to counter the court's behavior.
