Told him I was anxious over the similarities I was noticing between what was beginning to happen here and what happened in Germany and Russia during WWII. He said he saw the similarities too but that "we should be okay, as long as the courts hold."

I get these most recent decisions were based on technical venue and standing issues, but it also appears to give tsf's administration very convenient delays so they can calculate even more strategies to evade carrying out lower courts rulings. Meanwhile people who were given no due process or a chance to prove their innocence suffer horrors. When "justices," care more about technicalities than possibly saving an innocent person's life, are they really just?

In my opinion I don't think the SC is holding the line against the worst of tsf's administration. I don't believe we are going to be okay. I don't have the answers on what if anything can be done about that, but hopefully, other much smarter people than me, are preparing alternate emergency plans, instead of counting on this SC to do the morally right thing.
