Incredibly, public regard for the Supreme Court remains high relative to Congress and the presidency. It’s past time for small d democratic to mount a coordinated scorched earth campaign that attacks this Court’s credibility.
It seems the current problem regarding Trump's attempt to obstruct mail-in voting was manufactured primarily by the current SCOTUS majority. Trump's current violations of our Constitution follow the path the SCOTUS majority previously blazed for him with their lies in Trump v. Anderson.
SCOTUS justices outright lied when they misrepresented that “federal officers” de facto and de jure somehow “owe their existence and functions to the united voice of the whole, not of a portion, of the people,” so “powers over their election and qualifications must be specifically ‘delegated to, rather than reserved by, the States.’ ”
Now, however, to purport to prove that states lack standing, the SCOTUS majority acknowledged that they knew all along about "States’ authority to 'create and enforce a legal code’ for elections.” How was that power more "specifically delegated" to states in our Constitution than the power to enforce Section 3 of Amendment XIV? Regarding Trump v. Anderson, even the SCOTUS majority repeatedly emphasized that Amendment XIV was aimed directly at governing state powers--and Section 3 stated standards that the States could and must apply and Article VI emphasized that all state legislators and executive and judicial officers must take all action that is necessary and proper "to support this Constitution."
SCOTUS justices further highlighted their deceit in Trump v. Anderson and Trump v. United States with the following in yesterday's opinion: "Article III prohibits federal courts from stacking hypothetical on hypothetical to speculate that harm will eventually materialize," so a plaintiff “cannot manufacture standing merely by inflicting harm on themselves based on their fears of hypothetical future harm that is not certainly impending.” But everything the majority did in Trump v. Anderson and Trump v. United States was based on the foregoing.

Which is a statement on how bad Congress and the presidency have been.
How many binkies does one man need? John Roberts AND Natalie?
And Steve — Bimbo and the Beasts.
I feel like we’ve been in an ongoing constitutional crisis since on or about January 20, 2025.
This Supreme Court is mostly a bunch of lickspittle quislings, except for Sotomyer, Jackson, and Kagan.
From democracy to oligarchy … the white elite deigns to deign.
