“The Supreme Court has effectively ruled that 250 years of U.S. history under a republic is enough.”

Insane that these six can find a single sentence from a case in the 18th century to support overturning Roe, but can’t seem to comprehend even a junior high-level understanding of the American Revolution.
Good essay. Of course, they don't have the power to "rule" that: no one does. Government's legitimacy derives from the consent of the governed. These are illegal, tyrannical moves, declarations of war, even. Thank you for calling on Biden to pack the Court—please clarify he must do so *immediately.*
“President Biden needs to overbalance these wingnuts. He must take advantage of the fact that the number of justices on the court is flexible. He should appoint four new justices who have some integrity, to match the number of district courts (now 13).”
