One of the reasons it is best for America that Harris and Walz win, and that Democrats win majorities in the Senate and House is that the Supreme Court needs to be restructured, and held to decent ethical standards. That will not happen if fascist Trump and his party prevail. Because of Trump, Leonard Leo, the Federalist Society, and the fascists in the Senate, the Supreme Court has transitioned from being an objective politically disinterested body into a corrupt part of the christofascist movement in the United States. The present court is dismantling democracy one majority decision at a time.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order on Wednesday lifting an injunction against Virginia Republican officials’ attempt to purge hundreds of names from voter registration rolls across the state.
The unsigned order means that those officials can push forward with their removal of names from voter registration rolls just days before the conclusion of the 2024 election — disenfranchising an unknown number of eligible voters in the process.
“The application for stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is granted,” the court’s order said.
It’s unclear which of the nine justices ruled for lower courts’ stays to be lifted. However, all three liberal bloc members — Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — indicated that they would deny the application to block the […]

It’s a shame that the Democrats have spent millions to keep Kennedy and Jill Stein off the ballot. You see, the dirty little secret is that neither party trusts you to vote. They know if given a meaningful, millions will abandon them. Neither wants to lose the money, power and prestige. The Republicans will quietly remove your name from the voter rolls and the Democrats remove the name of your candidate from the ballot. Both parties prefer disappearing magic, because neither trusts you. They prefer you to “pick your poison”, except that you don’t have to pick poison all! Give them both the big middle finger – think and vote outside the box.

See! For all the talk about how great the Constitution is, it does not provide protection from justices who must be removed! It’s next to impossible to do and they don’t even have a moral set of guidelines for this group! Also, so much in the Constitution is never acted upon when someone does something that is clearly stipulated in the Constitution. Trump took foreign and domestic money while president and nobody did anything. He led an insurrection—-nothing has been done!
We are a doomed country unless we right the wrongs that everyone knows exists and nothing is being done because of the way the Constitution and our government work! Help!!!!

We had better pray that Kamala wins, because there won’t be a democracy left if she doesn’t.
