a comment on the SCOTUS by mrs. betty bowers

This will sound very nerdy, but when I was a kid, I revered the Supreme Court. If they could rule unanimously against segregation in 1954â€”when the two other branches of government would *never* have been brave enoughâ€”I thought they're the lone voice of good. That is all trashed now. They're garbage.

NOR THE "BROOKS BROTHERS RIOT" TO INTIMIDATE---WHICH WORKED TO SHUT DOWN THE HAND-COUNT.

AND THEN THE SCOTUS DECLARED THAT THEIR DECISION THAT TO CONTINUE THE RECOUNT WOULD IRREPARABLY HARM GEORGE W. BUSH (‼️ , COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS SETTING A PRECEDENT---AN UNHEARD OF DECLARATION THERETOFORE!
