Description

Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz speak with Stephen Vladeck of the Georgetown Law Center, on John Roberts’ claim the conservative majority on the Supreme Court are not “political actors,” the racial basis of its gerrymandering decision to gut the Voting Rights Act, the “stupidity” of the “independent court” narrative, and the abuse of the emergency docket.

They are an embarrassment to the very office they occupy.

Since they are so intent on stripping away our rights, it's way past time they started losing some of theirs.

John Roberts is a Klan Member and a Traitor to the Constitution. His "one set of rules for Republicans, another for Democrats" illegitimacy needs to end.

Best I can tell, they have violated their oath of office. If there are no consequences for that, why have an oath in the first place.

Most Americans have lost all respect for the right wing 6 on the Supreme Court. Roberts must think (from his perch on high) that the rest of us can’t see what they’ve done. They are racists, dishonest, and unethical . Hopefully changes will come-term limits, ethics codes, financial disclosures under oath, and an increased number.

Unbelievable how SCOTUS treats the rest of us like we are the ignorant peasants. They are flawed men with deep seated bigotry and racism. John Roberts is a rabid racist who bastardized the constitution to gut the VRA and give Donald Trump immunity which is NO WHERE in founding father’s documents. Thank you both for bringing this critical issue to your followers. Please keep court reform and expansion in the forefront because NOTHING will change until this happens.
