Supreme Court Slowly Carrying Out Right-Wing Agenda…

Over the years, I have heard many people complain about the Democrat Party; some allege that the party is no different than the Republican Party.
Whether or not this is true is not for me to decide, sufficing to say that the Democrat party also have a lot of white people in it; and we have to simply come to terms with the fact that what looks like a majority of white people seem to have a serious sense of insecurity about who they are, hence they tell themselves that they are somehow superior to others.

So racism is certainly not reserved only for the neanderthals that have opted to join that cult.
One notable point of interest is the lack of visible action and the sense of nonchalance Senate Democrats have in the face of the barn-burning urgency around voting rights and a woman’s right to choose.
Shaping the infrastructure putting America back into the dark ages is the Roberts Supreme court, which destroyed the 1965 Voting Rights Act in 2013 in its infamous and disgraceful Shelby County, Alabama Vs. Holder during Barack Obama’s Presidency; and It’s a loud and clear decision not to respond to several appeals against the onerous Texas Law that note makes it a crime for doctors to perform an abortion on a woman after six weeks.

Whether one agrees with abortions in principle or not is hardly the point. The central issue is whether or not a woman has a right to make decisions regarding her own body. A question that has been settled law since the landmark decision of Roe Vs. Wade was handed down by an earlier supreme court on January 22, 1973.
The Roberts Court of 9 justices is tilted 6–3 in favor of Republicans, which brings up the other question of why are Democrats afraid to use power when they have it to save the country from returning to the dark ages by appointing at least three more associate justices to the court?
The Roberts’ court, which consists of Republicans John Roberts, Uncle Clarence Tom-Ass, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amey Coney Barrett, has demonstrated that. They have no respect for precedent, stare decisis, or settled laws.

Liberal justice Sonia Sotomayor has written scathing dissents to their regressive decisions, obviously aimed at returning the country to the 1950s era before the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and the rights women fought for to have control over their own bodies.
They upended the 56-year-old long-settled Voting Rights Act during Obama’s presidency, and now, by refusing to protect Roe V Wade the 48-year-old precedent, they have allowed Texas to start the process of dismantling the rights and protections that every woman has, given by God, one that no government should have power to interfere in.
With regards to the 5–4 decision not to block the unconstitutional attack on women rights, Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued another scathing opinion after the right-wing majority of Clarence Tom-Ass, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amey Coney-Barrett, decided to aid Texas, by not stepping in to protect a woman’s right to chose.
John Roberts in this instance sided with the court’sliberal minority.

Siad Justice Sotomayor; “The Court’s order is stunning”. “Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand. … The Court’s failure to act rewards tactics designed to avoid judicial review and inflicts significant harm on the applicants and on women seeking abortions in Texas.
Said Justice Stephen Breyer; “The new law’s reliance on private individuals rather than prosecutors to handle enforcement, which would come through civil suits, should not immunize it from litigation in the courts.”
“I recognize that Texas’s law delegates the State’s power to prevent abortions not to one person (such as a district attorney) or to a few persons (such as a group of government officials or private citizens), but to any person. But I do not see why that fact should make a critical legal difference.”
[Politico] opined that Justice Elena Kagan devoted much of her dissent to criticizing the court for its increasing reliance on its emergency docket to make decisions of great significance to the country, without the benefit of full briefing or oral arguments.
Said Justice Elena Kagan;“Today’s ruling illustrates just how far the Court’s ‘shadow-docket’ decisions may depart from the usual principles of appellate process.” “The majority’s decision is emblematic of too much of this Court’s shadow-docket decision-making — which every day becomes more unreasoned, inconsistent, and impossible to defend.”

Seems to me as I often say, the very court that ought to be the protector of the Constitution is the very institution that is the greatest violator of said constitution out of political and ideological considerations.
Here is a bit of irony in Chief Justice John Roberts’ dissenting opinion however.
Roberts called the Texas legislation “not only unusual, but unprecedented.” His dissent was more reserved than that of the liberals, but he expressed concern that blessing a scheme like the one adopted in the Lone Star State could create a model for other states seeking to have laws of dubious constitutionality kick in for some period of time.
That is exactly the point, but the right-wing robed idiots on the court have fallen in lockstep.
Howewever, the greatest irony is reserved for Roberts himself who worked assiduously to gut the 1965 Voting Rights Act using the most dubious and ridiculous arguments, which in fact opened up the floodgates allowing States to pass a phalanx of antivoting right laws across the country.
This bit of irony, is of course, lost on Chief Justice John Roberts.
The enemies of Democracy and Human Rights are getting what they want and that’s a direct result of what Mitch McConnell pulled off on the country when he unlawfully blocked Merrick Garland from being elevated to the US Supreme Court.
By doing so the most corrupt, vile, racist to become president in our lifetime was able to appoint Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amey Coney-Barrett to the highest court to turn America back to a time when white men made all of the decisions, including whether other people are allowed to vote, or whether a woman who is raped can flush the seed of her rapist from her body and soul.
