"Facially Insane" [View all]

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

I don't know what better justification for court packing you'll get than a court which has effectively repealed the majority of the 14th and 15th amendments.

Tell your normie friends, because hoi polloi still balk at court packing
