And also we have to worry about Russia interfering with our election again. Because we all should know Trump has been talking to Putin through other channels to put him back in the White House

I’m angrier than I can recall ever being at any other time in the last 25 years. I’ve felt gut-punched by the Court’s terrible decisions many times in the recent past, but none like it’s Democracy-ending decision handed down yesterday — one that allows Tя☭mp the freedom to be as corrupt as he likes, legally corrupt, should he prevail in the 2024 election. And we all know perfectly well that he plans to be that person from Day One.

The debate over Biden’s suitability as the Democratic nominee — because of a single debate with Tя☭mp — is over. This coming election comes down quite literally to whether or not the United States can continue to be defined by Democracy. That’s it. Our votes in November are cast to decide that one issue because without our Democracy, we’ll lose our identity.

I feel the same as you, Will. I'm more motivated than ever to fight the good fight for democracy and progressive causes. Biden's poor debate performance be damned, he's the man for me right now!

The simple truth is Trump must lose and as many “conservatives” as possible must be unelected in November. SCOTUS made what is tantamount to a “conservative” declaration of war on the Constitution by providing a liability free roadmap for a presidential coup in its immunity decision. If Trump wins it’s game over.

In the interim stack the court and use the new presidential powers to mandate voting rights in national elections and break the logjams in Congress. Immunity from prosecution is a powerful tool.

In addition to stacking the courts, we need term limits on US Supreme Court Justices. 13 years per justice, justices selected from the appelate court districts, cycling through the appelate districts each of the 13 years. We also need ethic mandates for our justices.
