After RBG’s death, Moore v Harper might kill American Democracy forever

[freepcrusher]

I liken this decades long court battle to effectively two high school/college age girls having a catfight and it never getting resolved. In fact that's how politics has been in this country since maybe the 90s. In the past you would have conflict that would get really nasty - but it would be over quicker.

If the left was to go full spanish republican to the conservative legal movement - is it possible that at that point someone would come in and say "ok we're even" and both sides would come to some sort of agreement. God help us if we're still having these same sort of arguments in the 2040s.

what do you mean by this

the spanish republicans, despite there name, were a liberal movement in 1930s spain. They're ire was not at the judiciary but toward the catholic church. So they basically went to try to root out the catholic church from all segments of spanish society. So basically that except toward the conservative legal movement.

Otoh, as someone who's politically bipolar and vascillates between left wing and right wing misanthropy - I can understand the argument coming from conservatives. Conservatives will say that the left basically owns the DA's system in most of the big cities and doesn't really need the SC to do what they want.

At this rate, the agenda to should be to get the conservative judiciary painted as a fraud on the nation.

What good would that do if SCOTUS eviscerates the VRA more, overturns Reynolds v. Sims/Wesberry v. Sanders, and implements the independent state legislature law?

well if the biden doj can find a way to indict Thomas wife on something (and given how DC juries are) - I'd like to think it would be a kind of "FA and you will FO" kind of message.

if Thomas dies between now and the next three months or whenever Jackson is sworn in - does she take his spot. If so it would be like the movie lion king where Mufasa is Marshall, Thomas is Scar (although I kind of liked scar so this is a bad example) and Jackson would be Simba.

well if the supreme court is that big of a threat - shouldn't that mean the biden administration should start wiretapping them to see if there is something to be used against them?
