tw: politics
Today I learned that, since April, the Supreme Court of the United States has sided with Trump in all 15 rulings it has issued on the President’s emergency requests. Of those 15 rulings, the court has only written 3 majority opinions. 7 have come with no explanation at all.
I don’t have to convince anyone here of what’s going on in America, obvs. I just wanted to share because this fact surprised me. I didn’t realize that they weren’t even justifying their decisions, which normally they do.
I think much was based on one side believing in a democracy and respecting being on the loser side of an election cycle and being naive about the other side being so willing to lie cheat and steal the seats of power.
it’s probably broken fo the rest of our lives
all for fuckin Trump
i fucking hate this
It’s also contingent on them realizing that if they call out all the abuses and corruption, when it comes time for them to be held to account, they won’t see any more mercy than they show their “compatriots” across the aisle.
Less so, often, as the “team” they play for tends to forgive and forget much less.
