As Democrats wrestle with the question of retaliatory gerrymandering they should remember that it is the Supreme Court has driven us to this moment. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Clearly if we ever get out of this mess we're in, we the people, need to rework the Supreme Court, clearly partisan majority and not working for all the people. We need term limits for Courts. We need to rework the Senate to be fair to all. 2 for Cali @ 40m vs 2 for WY 900k a big prob for confirm.

When is it time to have a serious conversation about the influence and legacy of John Roberts?
He has presided over the collapse of liberal democracy and also over the collapse of faith in the court, to the point of rendering it toxic
-
And they will deny democrats the right to gerrymander even if they use the exact same reasoning as red states!
-
The CORRUPT SCOTUS. They are intentionally destroying our democracy.

100% would be prevented with a functioning and legitimate Supreme Court.

It took a few hundred years of actions/counter actions, customs (mos maiorum) and scrapping of customs, to undo the Roman Republic and turn it into a dictatorship. It takes Trump, GOP, Heritage, SCOTUS et al, just months.

Thank you.

Red states have been gerrymandering for decades and getting away with it...if Democrats dont do it now, then we will lose Democracy and we will all lose, even if you voted for Trump.

I would like to strike down the Roberts court.

We need democrats to be better organized and proactive

I think Newsom and Pritzker both want to drive Dem messaging, so we have a chance!

We are dealing with armed & evil psychopaths. No more high roads! bsky.app/profile/tina...

During his years in Senate leadership, βMoscow Mitch" proved to be a master of parliamentry malfeasance. He famously said he wanted to do whatever possible to make Obama a one-term president, and depr...

Rucho, the immunity decision, elevation of an absurd theory of executive power, and the destruction of the Voting Rights Act will be Robertsβs epitaph, challenging Taney for the bottom. He may win. His Courtβs decision werenβt just immoral; they destroyed the ties that once bound us. Disgrace.

Nicely written

Share this everywhere!

But it wonβt really help & it will further erode our democracy.
Blue states should focus on enforcing their laws, & arresting federal agents & orgs that violate them.
We have the 2A & 10A for this momentβ¦

Clear-eyed truth bombs. Go @sifill.bsky.social !!!

If ever there was a time to expand the court, the time is here! If democrats can win an election?!
-
I'm looking forward to the Supreme Court deciding this tactic is only valid in red states
-
Citing some 18th Century gibberish from the British courts, the Sub-preme Court is likely to decide it's OK for Texas but not OK for California.
-
The Supreme Court with a conservative majority that was appointed by Republicans. Letβs not forget that part.
-
Supreme indeed. White Supremacist Court maybe
-
True
-
In other words, our present partisan, fascist SCOTUS is directly involved in the dismantling of our cherished democracy and denying the very reasons our forefathers constructed it.
-
Iβve contacted the offices of both Governor Newsom and our state Senator Cabaldon telling them, our family is totally supportive of whatever they feel they must do at this point. Itβs Game On.
-
I think I'm willing to put up cash that they shit the bed and don't do anything. I'm..frustrated at the democratic party.
-
The majority of SCOTUS judges are bought and paid for by the same oligarchy that forced Chump 2.0 on us! Big money must be removed from politics! Yeah, looking at you Chief Traitor Roberts!

John Roberts to Roger Taney, βhold my beer, I got this.β

I wrote my state rep and senator about what they plan on doing of TX goes through with their gerrymandering. My senator replied and it wasn't good she talked about fairness, transparency and accountability.
In short here in CO seems to me that some Democrats won't fight and it fucking pisses me off
-
Thank you Sherrilyn
-
According to SCOTUS Majority, it's all GOOD. So make it so. Level the playing field Dems. Time to fight fire with fire and win to make new LAWS to protect use citizens from evil monsters in White House!
-
Itβs not retaliatory gerrymandering; itβs meeting Republicans where they are! I hate and support it!
-
Big mistake by Biden to not at least attempt to expand the court.
-
Why wrestle? Democrats need to go for a quick left jab folled by a knock-out. The reTHUGlicans on the ropes for even a minute will not suffice.
