Not one single vote, but two hundred and fifty million other reasons why the oligarch Nazi is running the show.

No matter how loudly Sam Alito yelled "not true" former President Obama called it when he said Citizens United was a threat to our democracy and now it has come to pass.

When Musk usurped the Congress and tRump this past week the full force of Citizens United had come to fruition. Alito and the rest of the conservatives who voted for unfettered money in our elections have created this mess and history should judge them harshly.

Now, we are in for total chaos whenever Elon doesn't get what he wants.

That man has never secured a single vote for public office, but he bought the presidency and it is he who will be calling the shots while idiot day glow becomes a marginalized figurehead.

Judging this Supreme Court (or some of its members) harshly is a stroll in the park.

and it requires a nearly impossible constitutional amendment to overcome it.
