    Default The Rule of Six: A newly radicalized Supreme Court is poised to reshape the nation

    A six-justice majority, such as the one now firmly in control, is the judicial equivalent of the monarchy’s “heir and a spare.” The pathways to victory are enlarged. The overall impact is far greater than the single-digit difference suggests.

    On the current court, each conservative justice enjoys the prospect of being able to corral four colleagues, if not all five, in support of his or her beliefs, point of view or pet projects, whether that is outlawing affirmative action, ending constitutional protection for abortion, exalting religious liberty over all other rights or restraining the power of government agencies.

    The Court should stand up for the Constitution, and then the Revolution will destroy the Court the rest of the way, but it will be in front of everyone, the Revolution will be the drivers of Evil not this court.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    The current spendy bill does pass muster because of discrimination.
