Democracy requires accountability. The Roberts Majority says we can't have it. Trump can't be charded with crimes. He can't be subject to civil claims that would impact his personal wealth. Trump can tell DOJ not to prosecute him or his minions. Impeach all six. It's our only recourse.

The Roberts Majority says this is well within the core executive power, and if the president does it it's not a crime. Or at least you stupid citizens can't expect any accountability. Also, no accountability for the unAmerican SCOTUS majority. Excrpt impeachment. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Roberts Majority is the ultimate death panel Letting Trump and Stephen Miller send people to war-torn countries where they don't speak the language is a death sentence for an unknown number of human beings. Blood runs thickly out the doors and down the stairs at the Supreme Court.

Segall writes: " But until the American public sees the Court in a fundamentally different way, not because of disagreement with decisions, but as an institution defective in original design, the chances of success are slim." Impeaching the Roberts Six will focus attention on the problem.

Last night’s Harvest Moon over Seattle. The clouds made it feel even more dramatic as it rose above the Space Needle and the Cascades. Also called the Corn Moon, this is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox.

SCOTUS continues it's drive to upset the election in Missouri. The critical thing is not people, voting, or democracy. The critical thing is giving Thomas and Alito lots of time to rant and rave in a pointless dissent. Because their traditions are the only thing that matters.

Things Trump has said about men's bodies: "Look at this guy. Look at the muscles on this guy." "You are a handsome devil. He's a good-looking guy." "Now, if you rip off the jacket, you'll see the muscles are serious." "He's so strong. He has those muscles."

In destroying the Voting Rights Act and gutting the 14th and 15th amendments, the Roberts court is recycling legal arguments once advanced by Confederates and white supremacists to destroy Reconstruction. From me and @ariberman.bsky.social

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

The 8th Cir. only heard the case because the lawyers filed a collaterally attack on the MO Supreme Court decision after SCOTUS refused to address it.

Ungovernable Ed Walker @edwalker.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
The MO Supreme Court held that the 2025 map was illegally used in the primary and that the 2022 map is the correct map. SCOTUS refused to consider that order. The question of the proper map is resolved. This filing is abusive.
