Thank you, Jack, for explaining the sad and cruel news. What can we do about it? I am so sick of the crookedness, trickery, lying, and prejudice!

Judy...thank YOU.

The anger is appropriate. Don't lose it...channel it.

State legislative races are where the next fight is...and...they run on almost nothing. Pick one in a swing state. Give what you can. And forward this morning's piece to two people who think it was minor.

The Court is counting on quiet. Don't give them quiet. Do NOT.

This is giving me such a headache at the blatant disregard for the Constitution by the conservative majority of SCOTUS. Looking forward to your next post.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

CC...thank YOU.

The headache...means your conscience is working!

The Constitution didn't fail today...six justices did. That distinction matters.

More tonight.

I need to lie down.

Disgraceful and lawless this SCOTUS is 🤬❗

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Karen...agreed.

Disgraceful is the word...and lawless is the diagnosis.

A Court that overrides Congress...and rewrites a statute it disagrees...with is NOT interpreting the law. It is making it.

That is NOT the role assigned to them in the document they swear to uphold.

Tonight's expansion lays out the mechanism. Watch your inbox.

John Robert’s was incorrect when he said race is no longer an issue.

Just look at what the courts decision will do to millions.

The anger I feel at this vile Court can't be measured. Florida has passed their redistricting and Desantis just needs to sign it. Time to gather the energy to carry on and fight in all the down ballot races in the swing states, call my senators and representatives, and speak out about the corrupt Supreme Court. #Holdfast

I knew I almost 100% legislature in florida would roll over and give it to desatan. We even have a law on our books about not being able to gerrymander like this. We are definitely in for an uphill battle greater than we were expecting. It might just backfire if the polls are really saying what they are about the number of repugs disgusted with drumpf and that is why we are seeing so many dems win in truly red districts and states.

Thank you for your analysis

and sharing how SCOTUS decision is quietly undermining American fair and free elections and voting rights 😑 The devil is in the details!!! The unpleasant truth needs to be shared publicly and legally reversed to protect our rights💪

Karen Humphries's avatar

I am nauseated by this! The glee with which the majority rolls back protection is unfathomable. I don't see an answer to the abomination that is the Supreme Court.

What me must do is convince those white republican voters that their rights are being trampled on more than their city neighbors, that they will find out that their very existence..homes, jobs, families are at risk. Since it will be their white children who will be drafted for trump's wars -- not brown or black skinned young people. Unless Hegseth changes his tune so he can sacrifice children of color.

Their farms will be forfeit when they cannot afford fuel for their tractors or fertilizers for their fields.

And when their children die of resurgent diseases. And their factory jobs are now, robotic.

Democrat candidates best forget trying to match the Epstein class funding and get out Old Shank's Mule and go into those neighborhoods.

I already had a migraine and new personal and financial issues today.

I feel sick.. similar to how I felt when the immunity ruling dropped.. maybe worse.

This Supreme Court is so incredibly corrupt. I’m not sure how we fight against this but I know we have to find a way. Is there a way, Jack?

I am in Memphis, and just went through the excellent National Civil Rights Museum. Many were beaten and killed for the right to vote. Walked miles. Boycotted buses. Stopped work. It may come to that again for us.

At some point, accountability must mean something. Every one of these justices, who re-wrote the voting rights act, sat in front of the Senate during their confirmation hearings and said that they will not change precedence. They LIED. We knew they lied when they said it. I don't believe and will not believe that you can lie at your confirmation hearing (job interview) and not be held accountable. I'm sick and tired of these people who think they have god-like powers. We should all say NO.
