Right-wing leaning Supreme Court, setting the foundation for an autocratic take-over.

Put all their rulings together and it's obvious that they are setting a foundation for huge changes in this country. A forced shift to the right. They now are giving police protection against lawsuits for Miranda violations. Which means they can rough up protestors and minorities as much as they like. They also continue to make it easier to gun carry, and I don't think this was an accident, coming from the same court that over-turned Roe v. Wade.

It's not coincidental. The next shoe to drop is rumors from the right that organized abortion groups are going to attack churches. What The Fuck! So angry and shocked about this allegation that I had to spell it out. They are preparing for retaliation, because they know they're conducting a Civil War, using our institutions as a battle ground. They just don't know when we will break.

is not going to advance their cause. Imagine someone on top of a snow covered hill. The rulings are a sled, and the Committee is the sloped hill, offering gravity. It's turning into a self-propulsion machine.

And if Americans are killed in the process, they really don’t care

I think the Right Wing and their Supreme Court thralls have decided on a Shock Strategy. They will throw up so much outrageous nonsense that it will be hard to counter it all.

As Steve Bannon said, flood the zone with bullshit and nobody will be able to stop it.
