Will the Supreme Court constrain the wild Trump? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/will-the-supreme-court-constrain?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@rbreich they will not
@rbreich Are you taking bets?
No. trump owns the supreme court, and putin owns trump
@rbreich i hope but doubt it
@rbreich No, He put his monkeys in it and is now telling them to dance..
@rbreich Is that a rhetorical question?
@rbreich This old Scotsman who takes an interest in everything American esp your politics , will have a wild guess ....... Nope aint gonna happen.
@rbreich even if they do manage to rein them in domestically, I can’t see who’s going to stop the current US administration flirting with the actual goddamn fascists over here. Reform and the AfD are the fox shit on our lawn, I’d love it if Vance et al stopped grooming them.
@rbreich game over if they don’t.
@rbreich FFS, NO!!!!, THEY MADE HIM KING AND YOU IDIOTS DON'T SEEM TO REALIZE THAT!, HE WILL TAKE EVERYTHING TO THEM AND THEY WILL GIVE OUR COUNTRY AWAY..THEY ALREADY HAVE WITH CITIZENS UNITED , GEEEZ!!!!
@rbreich ours is now a post-law, post rules-based order, with all meaningful checks and balances owned and controlled by unbridled wealth. The failure was ours in not understanding that billionaires were the natural outcome of unfettered markets, and in permitting them to purchase lawmakers before the lawmakers could fix the error with taxation. Dark times ahead, I fear.
@rbreich Constrain? I'm guessing there are two slam dunk votes to overturn Marbury v Madison, and two more that won't need a lot of arm twisting.
