Yet another symptom of the cancerous effects America has suffered since money became speech and corporations could exploit our citizens’ rights and freedoms. The six GOP Supremes are out-of-control tumors on our body politic and their malignancy has metastasized throughout the GOP as well as spread to some Democrats in Congress. Our Constitution offers the remedy to cure this cancer, but it only works if our Congressional members choose to meet their purpose, and no longer serve their morbidly rich masters. Therefore, we just need to elect enough people that will promote our general welfare, and then they can force the Supremes to adhere to some common sense ethical rules. Or we can watch our democracy continue to waste away.

Sadly, 40% is where public sentiment is likely to stick, while the "justices" and synergistic Republican politicians snigger at the non-mandate. Because the other four-out-of-ten will remain zombies droning "abortion abortion abortion take our guns take our guns take our guns...." If the stymie can't be broken to allow Medicare to negotiate drug pricing, I submit there is no level of corruption and public harm that is going to see any amelioration. Any schmuck could understand he wouldn't want to be in a lawsuit against the judge's brother-in-law, but obvious rightness of concept just doesn't matter in this world. Besides: "It's Biden's fault it's Commie Dem's fault it's Biden and the Commie Dems doing it...." You-know-who alone can fix it. Class dismissed.
