I agree, SCOTUS did a power grab.

Several don't even deserve to be on the court, McConnell to blame!

It's a horror!


Do something positive.

Or in this case, them.

These are the ramifications of the SCOTUS decision. And deliberately so.

You don't live in a rule of law country any more. Anything touching the presidency in any way is almost unprosecutable.

This isn't a melodramatic observation. It's a factual one. The rule of law is when the law applies to everyone and particularly rulers equally. That isn't true in America.

And SCOTUS is a second body placing itself above the law, beyond accountability.

This is pre-Magna Carta stuff. You need to read John of Salisbury's Policraticus to find out the kinds of remedy proposed before the king was subject to law. Your SCOTUS people evidently know little history. It's a worse world for everyone. Unaccountable power begets violence against the powerful. Being accountable is safer for governors as well as the governed.
