The Supreme Court launches a 'political torpedo' right at the Biden administration

On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court announced a consequential decision that amounted to an aggressive assertion of judicial authority agai

This is brazen, and it’s dangerous. Manchin and Sinema’s firm status as party traitors appears to have emboldened the Supreme Conservatives’ Court into attacking the Executive branch under Biden.

This decision is so stretched, it has launched us into a situation as fraught and anti-democratic as when trump constantly attacked the Legislative branch, but more so.

Republicons as a whole have moved far beyond mere obstruction of democracy, as with Obama. And what this Roberts Court is doing now goes even further than their attacks on the nation’s civil rights and voting rights.

Just as gerrymandered, unjustly Republicon state legislatures have been openly undercutting and weakening Democratic governors legitimately elected state-wide, now these unelected conservatives on their stolen Supreme Court are openly attacking presidential powers – as held by Biden.

“This was the first test of whether a conservative Supreme Court majority would follow the same rules it did under [t]rump when it comes to immigration and the President—and they have failed the test. This is a political torpedo aimed directly at the Biden administration,’ said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a lawyer at the American Immigration Council. 'The lower [trump judge] courts got dozens of facts wrong, wildly misstated the law, and ordered the Executive to torpedo delicate foreign relations—and the Supreme Court, which until Biden took office blocked nearly all immigration injunctions when requested by the DOJ, just let them do it.’

…”'The end result of tonight’s decision will be dollars in the pockets of the cartels, a renewed human rights catastrophe, and hundreds if not thousands of kidnappings, rapes, tortures, and other miseries enacted against vulnerable people only seeking safety.’

…“'The 6-3 conservative majority has now made clear that the last four years of solicitude towards the President never happened, and that they will refuse to grant Biden the same kind of leeway that they routinely granted [t]rump. And they don’t care who gets caught in the crossfire.’”

It is time to expand the Supreme Court to add more Democratic justices to prevent Trump’s handpicked little boot-licking neo-nazi servants from doing bullshit like this again
