OP
Whatever the MAGA folks don't like, the USSC will overturn. Whatever they want, USSC will clear the way.

We will have to live with that legacy for a long time. Thanks voters!

Adding 6 more Justices under the right circumstances could do a lot. But that sure as hell is not going to happen soon. Maybe sooner than generations though.

(1,940 posts)7. Our Nation Is About To Fully Ruled By A Federal Fascist Theocracy
We're in Louisiana, we know it's going to get much, much worse.
We're considering whether or not we ought to seek freedom elsewhere and pursue our lives within another country.
We are neither fascists nor theocrats.
We are precisely the opposite.
So we don't really see ourselves as a good fit...
Fuck.
