How long will the Beltway establishment be able to ignore what is increasingly obvious? The Supreme Court is an illegitimate and debased institution that is eating away at our democracy.
The conservative majority has gone all-out in investigating the leaked Samuel Alito draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Clinic, the case that the court is using to overturn Roe v. Wade in a few short weeks. Chief Justice John Roberts, in his fervor to find the leaker, has reportedly demanded that the law clerks turn over their cell phones to investigators. Because heaven forbid that the court — which increasingly feels empowered to stomp on any democratically determined policy that offends far-right sensibilities — be subject to any level of transparency or scrutiny as it tears up basic human rights. On the flip side, however, there appears to be no interest at the Supreme Court in investigating the extremely strong possibility that one or more of the sitting justices is part of an ongoing fascist conspiracy to overthrow democracy.
