This Illegitimate, Extremist Supreme Court is a Catastrophe for the American Nation

The sad, gut-wrenching truth is, the American experiment is on its last legs.

They try to hide their monstrosity under smiles and black robes, but it’s plain to see for anyone who actually looks.

Like nearly every other aspect of “conservatism” and the Republican Party, the Supreme Court has been taken over by far-right extremists who have no respect for precedent, traditions, the Constitution, democracy or anyone who’s not white, wealthy, and an extremely conservative “Christian.”

These six rogue judges are intent on tearing the nation apart, and there’s very little that can stop them. Perhaps that will be a good thing, in the long run. It seems every more likely with every day that passes that this country can’t long exist in its present form. The white nationalist faction of America wants its authoritarian theocracy, and the sooner the rest of us give it to them in the form of their own country, the better for those of us who want to live in an actual democracy.

But before we get to that place, there will be untold violence, death, destruction, pain and suffering wrought by the six nihilistic extremists on the Supreme Court. And I’m not speaking metaphorically. More women will die for lack of reproductive healthcare; more innocent Americans will die from pollution and violent natural disasters made more violent by climate change; many more innocent children, women and men will die from senseless, unnecessary gun violence promoted by these extremists’ contempt for the basic function of government — to ensure public safety and domestic tranquility.

Overruling Roe v Wade is just the beginning of their campaign to dismantle American society. Expunging a right Americans have lived with for almost a quarter of our country’s history was truly despicable. But there’s much more to come, and it isn’t going to be pretty.

In the next few years, the six ideologically driven justices will rain dozens more horrific rulings on America.

The very few regulations we have on guns will virtually all be ruled “unconstitutional” by these blood-stained six. Alito, Thomas and Barrett especially have demonstrated their utter contempt for all efforts to make America safer by dealing with the flood of guns that washes over the country on a daily…
