If the Supreme Court justices basically hadn’t died in exactly the way they did the GOP would be a politically irrelevant party right now, with no clear return to national power on the horizon.
I’m not saying they weren’t skeevingly opportunistic enough to jump on such an opportunity. But a Machiavellian work of 5-D chess this was not.
Admitting to feckless conservatives “congrats, your moral degeneracy let you win, democracy is fucked” is entirely submitting to their taunting. Because all they care about is they they “won” in your eyes and are only bolstered by such comments.We aren't being taunted - not sure how little you're paying attention, or if maybe you just don't understand what that word means. Possibly both.
That’s precisely what you do. And remind people the stakes of what their apathy are.Still waiting for your solution[s] on what to do. Aside from get out and vote for the next 20+ years.
They can’t write their own laws, only rule on the constitutionality of existing ones by means of challenge.I'm not sure you comprehend what has happened here with SCOTUS. Maybe you need to go back and look at the literal reality of what it means for the Neo-Nazi-Conservative-GQP-Right to have comprehensive and active control of the branch of government that interprets our laws.
They can do anything they want, with no accountability. And one of them was literally a Handmaiden.
States and groups aren’t in lock-step with what the Supreme Court is attempting to ersatz legislate, and as such can affect needling legal challenges that test the fundamentally unsound reasoning the conservative judges are acting on, gumming up the court.
And of course, justices don’t live forever.
Again, I’m not saying it isn’t bad, far from it. But defeatism and laying down to let a bunch of jeering conservative baboons have their way isn’t going to make things better.
