Opinion by Kimberly Wehle The Hill
The Supreme Court’s ruling in Alexander v. South Carolina NAACP put to rest any lingering doubts that its six-member conservative majority is committed to democratic principles. Time after time, and despite congressional legislation to the contrary, the court has gone out of its way to issue decisions that harm voters while advantaging state legislatures and corporations.
......and blah blah blah
As Americans prepare for one of the most consequential elections in our history — with at least two Supreme Court nominations on the table for the next presidency — it’s vital to understand that the source of the structural imbalances in our electoral system isn’t Congress. It’s the conservatives on the court.
......and blah blah blah
The Supreme Court’s assault on elections began in 2010, when a 5-4 conservative majority in Citizens United v. FEC essentially held that corporations have the same First Amendment speech rights as people.....
......and blah blah blah
Alito and his compatriots are either operating on cynicism or living in a fantasy land, where the “victims” are those already in power and the perpetrators are regular people — voters who wish to participate in their democracy, but don’t have billions to spend on ads and lobbying, or who by virtue of their skin color have never enjoyed full access to the ballot box. For the justices to ignore reality, once again, is to disrespect democracy itself.......
......and blah blah blah
Comment:
The Democrats are intensifying their attack on the Supreme Court.
The Democrats hate the Conservatives on the Supreme Court because they are properly interpretating the constitution.
The Democrats are unable to understand that constitution was designed to protect the citizens from a tyrannical corrupt government or political party.
They don't get it.
The Democrats are too corrupt to be able to legally operate under our constitutional form of government.
The Democrats are greedy corrupt tyrants who lie about everything, like about what their attack on the Supreme Court is really all about.
They are not protecting "democracy", they are attempting to impose a one-party autocracy, and the Supreme Court is in their way.
