Inside the Roberts Court and its Failures

Our constitution cannot protect us if we don’t know what it means.

The Supreme Court took months to find Trump’s tariffs illegal, as of course they are. Only Congress has the power to tax. It isn’t complicated. Yet the much delayed 6-3 Supreme Court decision is a deeply complicated collection of opinion and dissent. That complexity results from the hash the Roberts Court has made of American jurisprudence.

That Trump usurped Article I powers to aggrandize himself is cause for impeachment and removal. Simply put, he swore an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States, then he violated it, undermined it, and tried to destroy it- all to give himself more coercive powers.

That Trump should be impeached and removed is his disgrace. That he is not, is Congress’ shame. Every day brings additional evidence that what remains of the GOP puts MAGA ahead of America, daily attempting to bend the rules to remain in power. They launched a national gerrymandering war to cheat voters in the upcoming midterms. The SAVE act is a voter suppression law. Their constant hearings into fraud that does not exist undermines confidence in elections. Their attempt to nationalize elections and give Trump control of voter rolls is, as Trump himself says, the key to staying in power for the next fifty years.
