Shame On The Supreme Court

I’m beginning to truly loathe the Supreme Court. But I guess that’s just connected to my general disdain for the Republican Party and conservatism…neither of which seem to give much of a rat’s ass these days about the rule of law, the Constitution and our beloved democracy.

This week the nation’s highest court sent liberals spinning on a legal and emotional yo-yo, first ruling against an insane attempt by red states to literally do whatever the fuck they want when it comes to federal elections, but then quickly returning to its activist ultra-conservative political, ethnic and religious dogmatism as it did 10 years ago when it gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965…thus deciding that racial inequality and institutional racism is over; that the LGBTQ community can and will continue to be discriminated against; and that some 40-million Americans don’t need student debt relief.

The six conservatives justices’ opinion is that it’s now essential that everyone be ‘treated the same’. No more “unfair advantages’ when it comes to college admissions. That President Joe Biden’s student debt relief program is illegal. That Christians should have the right to refuse customers whose beliefs and lifestyles differ from their own.

Except there’s this little privilege thang called legacy admissions…ya know, ‘my daddy went to Harvard, my granddaddy went to Harvard…
