Three changes that could restore the Supreme Court’s independence

The goal is to restore balance and accountability to a Supreme Court whose right-wing majority is squandering its legitimacy to advance a harmful political agenda.

It's been 20 years since John Roberts became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. As @svantemyrick.bsky.social notes, it's not a happy anniversary. @peoplefor.bsky.social thehill.com/opinion/judi...

Image in an excerpt from an opinion column in The Hill, which is linked to in the post. The excerpted text reads:

"The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term just days after the 20th anniversary of John Roberts being sworn in as chief justice. It is not a happy anniversary.

"There is little doubt that the court’s right-wing majority will use the coming term to further dismantle constitutional checks and balances and grant more power to the increasingly dictatorial President Trump. The only real question is how aggressively the Roberts-Trump Court will pursue its drive to reverse more than a century of constitutional precedent and social progress."

The president who cares so much about fighting antisemitism is threatening to imprison a nonagenarian Jewish Holocaust survivor, because of an antisemitic conspiracy that attributes all liberal political movements to the hand of a cabal of wealthy Jews. You know, fighting antisemitism.

Truth Social post from Donald Trump: “George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to “BREATHE,” and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you!

Excerpt from op ed: "Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress have responded to the lawlessness and brutality of the Trump-era Immigrations and Customs Enforcement by showering ICE with tens of billions of dollars to hire 10,000 new enforcement officers and create our own domestic concentration camps. Rewarding bad behavior this way will only embolden the worst impulses of the people running ICE operations. It is the opposite of accountability."
