Stephen Breyer has a book out
quote:
With former President Donald Trump’s three appointees on the bench, the court was firmly in the hands of conservative justices whose theories of constitutional and statutory interpretation differed fundamentally from that of the liberal Breyer. Their methods have already upended American law in recent years in a variety of areas, including, most notably, abortion — a subject to which the court will return on Tuesday, when it hears arguments over the availability of the abortion pill mifepristone.

In a new book that comes out on the day of the argument and in an interview with POLITICO Magazine, Breyer hits hard at the approach of his conservative former colleagues and sounds a public alarm.



He talks about his good friend Nino. Antonin Scalia to the rest of us.

I should read this. I should care about this.

But I’ve written off SCOTUS as a slimy MAGA sh!tshow and no longer care what they do or what any of them think about anything.

Too bad. They had a good run.

I can't give up on one of the three pillars of democracy in this country just yet. If we can't beat the bastards now, we'll have to wait them out until we can replace them. All the more reason to work to gain or keep control of the executive and legislative branches of government.
