We are being slow walked in a coup, not of generals, but by judges, some supreme, others not.

[Augiedog]

We claim to be a nation of laws. That no man is above the law. That justice is blind.

Trump and his minions, be they cabinet appointees, senate sycophants or congressional grovelers and improperly appointed justices, judges and agency heads are siding with anarchy and lawlessness on a scale not seen since the civil war.

If you think we have seen the worst of what they can and will do, you are wrong. We need our congressional representatives to step up and be the law enforcers they have the power, duty, and skill to end this before we are irretrievably lost.

1. Exactly right! Once this nation goes over the top, there will be no crawling back. n/t

[SlogginThroughIt]

2. Question. How does our congressional reps superceed the judicial wing?

I know they can pass laws but those can be struck down judicially too.


I fear that it really will ultimately come down to us. The people. We the people. And if we can't do it by vote..... well that scares me.

3. The nation is waking up. Everyone to their messaging and door-to-door battle stations

We have the truth on our side, but we all still must enter the arena of principled communication. New studies are showing that the Republican base is afflicted with a low-information condition which has been shown to improve with the conceptual equivalent of rural electrification – better information. It WILL require repeated door-to-door action.

The other good news is that Murdoch's son leans towards sanity and he has begun to shift the culture of Fox.

4. Totally agree

They packed the courts with young, white men (and a few self-loathing minorities) who were trained by the Federalist Society. They favor corporations over real humans. They favor Christianity over other religions and the Bible over the Constitution.

We're screwed for decades.

5. read Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean

This is a blueprint that has been in the works for decades, funded by the Kochs

6. Yep.

[Saint PeLSU]

7. Being born black in America... we already knew the laws were a myth

8. money rules the roost, as long as we have a capitalist society everything will be for sale

including the government and putin gets customer rewards.

9. K&R!

[yuiyoshida]

10. He is destroying this government

Rolling back everything not only done by Obama, but by other Democratic Presidents clear back to Kennedy. IF he gets elected or selected as President again, WE can KISS this country, good bye...he will try and make himself a dictator, but I don't think the Military would go along with it.. its going to probably end up as the next civil war between us and the MAGATS...especially when he is forcibly removed from office.

11. WE've been sliding that direction for a while now.

I think we may have already crossed the threshold. And It's both maddening & terrifying.

[Joe941]

12. Trump and his ilk have filled scores of judges.

The make up of the courts is transforming the nation. Even the 9th is now about even as far as appointed judges by R and D. A few years ago it was like 27 to 6 in favor of D.
