If we are not able to help our fellow Americans understand that this is an "activist" Supreme Court that will take us back 100 years, we stand to lose (over a several year span if the Republican Party controls the levers of government) most or all of what has been achieved since the days of FDR.

If we are not able to help our fellow Americans understand that this is an "activist" Supreme Court that will take us back 100 years, we stand to lose (over a several year span if the Republican Party controls the levers of government) most or all of what has been achieved since the days of FDR. This court's ruling on presidential immunity was for one purpose alone: to elevate the "unitary executive" to a position where he is untouchable and functions like a monarch. The current incarnation of the Republican Party has shown us it cares little, if at all, for the welfare of ordinary Americans, preferring to hand power and control to the small class of powerful and often wealthy so they may continue to grow in wealth and power off of the backs of working Americans. Families can and will continue to be split up, Christian Nationalism will become the "state religion," and for that matter you can forget about supporting other democratic regimes against the growing worldwide threat of fascist authoritarian leaders. And, for those of you who read this far, don't count on your social security and medicare benefits remaining intact. While they will probably have to strip us of more Constitutional rights before they can simply take our SS and Medicare, do expect them to come after these. Fascist authoritarians do not value human life, except as servants who will bow down and do their bidding. Didn't Trump tell a rally audience he only cares about their votes recently? He is growing bolder and is the beneficiary of about 50 years of so-called activism from the base.
