In the term just ended, the right-wing justices continued their campaign to elevate the presidency, while discarding vital protections and longstanding precedents.
The premise of "one person, one vote" assumes a baseline of political equality at the ballot box. However, wealth in any society is distributed unequally. When you equate money with voice, you legally protect a system in which the volume of a citizen’s voice is directly proportional to their net worth.
The architects of early US governance debated endlessly about the dangers of "factions" and the undue influence of property and wealth on the republic. While they were far from perfectly egalitarian, modern mechanisms of infinite financial amplification, such as Super PACs and dark money networks, introduce a scale of influence that completely bypasses the geographic and individual representation the House and Senate were initially designed to protect.
This court's ruling on financial contributions to political operations accelerates the realignment toward a government that is no longer responsive to the electorate but to the money that funds their private clubs' political ambitions.
When the electorate realizes that their single vote cannot compete with a multi-million-dollar media blitz, the result is deep civic apathy and a feeling that the system is entirely rigged.
This court is a disgrace, corrupting the most fundamental promise: "We the people"
I agree with most of your criticism of the Roberts Court for this past term. However, I do agree with their decision to uphold State Laws that ban biological males from competing in women's sports.
We do NOT know whether these are biological males because those that make a big deal over the "trans" issue push that as fact when biology does indeed express XY females. This fact is never discussed because the "trans" community appears to not want to and genetic sex expression is not taught in High School.
The fact is that every embryo has both sex ducts, the Mullerian, female, and Wolffian, male and how sex is expressed is dependent on genetics and thus things can go very differently when one's DNA has issues. I suggest that you watch:
In it, Dr Breedlove discusses the biology behind sex. This needs to be taught in High School because while there are only two sexes because the human genome is divided into only two packages, eggs-female and sperm-male, how sex is expressed runs a spectrum that we need to accept and understand for fair and realistic policy. Using the conservative whiner view doesn't work.
All conservatives need to hang for supporting the GOP coup that has replaced our constitution with their unitary executive.
Their unconstitutional rulings will be overruled by a future court:
- Their unconstitutional Dobbs ruling. Women still have the innate and unenumerated right to abortion, protected by the Ninth Amendment and Article III, Section 2 that explicitly and clearly restricts their authority to law and equity, not rights.
- Their Trump ruling is unconstitutional because Article II, Section 3 mandates that the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed", thus negated any claim of "absolute immunity" for crimes committed "while performing his official duties".
