Don't make excuses for the partisan hackery of the current court. There is justice and there is mafia justice. What's happening here is as far from legitimate justice as you can get. Period.

I have absolutely no respect for or belief in the legitimacy of the Roberts Court as it is configured.

It is an abomination and part of the plan to destroy the ability of the nation to adapt and change with time; in favor of locking in an agrarian-based (land representation favored over population anyway) and financial (corporate 'persons') monarchy once more. Perhaps with only a figurehead as "king", but with the landed gentry and lords and ladies nonetheless.

It is not innocent.
It is not normal.
It is not OK.

Fuck the Supreme Court, it is NOT a legitimate body any longer.
