Much of the public sees the Supreme Court as political, not impartial, even as the court’s defenders say its critics simply oppose the conservative majority.

      There is not currently a peaceful solution to this problem. The public is scared to break the seal on violence, and I’m not sure the left will ever break such a seal.

      Anything shy of an overwhelming trifecta in November will be a loss, as we will need that leverage to fix this broken court.

    And you can bet that there’s a hell of a lot more we don’t know about.

    So the stage is completely empty.

    Serious question: can we do a kickstarter with the express purpose of outright bribing the Supreme Court justices who are clearly bribable to be, like, not massive antidemocratic fascist assholes? It might work for Thomas, but it also could potentially work for Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Roberts.

      Sorry, that’s illegal. You have to do the kickstarter after the decision comes out

    They do? I thought we were still caught up ragging on Biden for being born in 1942.
