<![CDATA[The Roberts court is, above all else, racist.]]>The Roberts court is, above all else, racist. They don’t like the reconstruction amendments and they don’t like the laws that enforced them. There is no legal, constitutional or separation of powers principle here. It’s just racism. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/heres-why-weve-been-keeping-an-eye?r=5n3e&utm_medium=post+viewer

(Turning 42 soon, if we survive that long lol)

A very concise legal theory and political program, wouldn't you say.

And 6 people is a surprisingly small unit to win the War of Northern Aggression, finally.

Guess the USA did not really win the civil war.

We have compelling evidence that our president is a pedophile and no rational human believes he isn't at minimum a rapist; yet we still allowed him to run for president a second term.

We're a feckless country that let Nazis rise to power again in the same lifetime as those that had to kill them before in WW2.

Both should have been removed a long, long, time ago. By force if necessary for the safety of our country, but we lost that fight.

Year after year of being told not to sink to their level and watch our rights slip away under their pedestals, not even bothering to stop them.

Second, the 6 Nazi god-squaders are boozer flakes.
Well, I dunno about Gorsucks and Coney Hot Dog. But they're all junkies on something.

We should have removed him a very, very, long time ago.

Just the dying gasps of a racist ideology that is at odds with America’s promise, and the values of the overwhelming majority of our fellow citizens. They act from fear, not from the law.

And when Sam Alito claims that the reconstruction era’s directives for race-neutrality were designed to protect white Catholics like him, he’s hating on originalism.

But it wasn’t universal - those members are, predominantly from urban / suburban districts where diversity is seen as a strength. So progress, but incomplete and not yet fully tested.

All of the African American MoCs I got elected with in 2018 represent majority white districts.
