Because the Anerican Revoltion delivered a monopoly of power and wealth to privileged white men, and to this day they determine everyone's rights -- including their own, confirming their status as the only cohort with self-rule.

Well, either that, or he's burrowed sufficiently into his dementia that 4 million Americans mean even less than the nothing they used to. Nothing about him has ever belonged on a 'normal' spectrum.

BINGO. The whole anti-DEI thing is straight up eliminating the competition. The scenario always provokes images of Ralph and Norton 'laying down the law' to Alice and Trixie. Hegseth is such a pip-squeak.

"Dominate" is the right word. The first House/Senate were all privileged white men. Congress never hit 'restart, so the expanded electorate never had a clean shot at power ➡️The OG cohort continued to DOMINATE gov't. Which is why, to this day, they determine everyone's rights, including their own.

It's always worth remembering that the Founders declared the 'equality of men' while owning slaves. That's a teeth-chattering calibre of hypocrisy, excused by all manner of bs. It may be helpful to allow those facts to inform your expectations.

What is this new "for now" status of opinions? What new purpose does this new status serve? How long is "now"? How has SCOTUS managed all these centuries without it? Whence does SCOTUS glean its authority to change the posture of a case? Etc.

Well, lets see ... Trump made his political bones by trolling the Black American president about his birth certificate, implying something 'illegitimate' about his presidency. Does that give you any hint?

Welp, for someone stuck in the past as Trump is, I gotta say my visual impression of that woman is she reminds me of Maude, the Bea Arthur character from All in the Family (Edith's cousin). She was a very funny but crude ball-buster. I bet Trump's reacting as if he's in an episode.

That's not untrue, but it's very simplistic. We're here bc the American Revolution delivered a monopoly of power and wealth to privileged white men, who at the time OWNED the majority of the population as property, slave or familial. THEIRS is the only self-rule that's ever been. On purpose.

The disinclination of white men to hold other white men accountable was demonstrated by priests, who preferred to BREAK THEIR VOWS TO GOD instead. Nothing supersedes the white male bond.

Attacking 'identity politics' always seemed peculiar, bc it was determinative in U.S.A. founding. Privileged white men ONLY got the republic, freedom, the vote. Women and children were the property of the family's adult male. Black people were all the propserty of the white men who bought them.

I agree wholeheartedly. It is all "ill-gotten gains". But Trump has just blown the lid off the monopoly of wealth and power delivered by the Revolution to privileged white men. So while he should be made to cough up the money, the over-arching noisome structure will remain.
