THE SKANK OF NOTRE DAME LAW has written what will certainly be a major milestone in the march of the United States to white supremacist, nativist, Republican-fascist rule in perpetuity, their first step in destroying birthright citizenship granted under the 14th Amendment, an amendment which was adopted to make sure that the recently freed Black population would be legally citizens of the United States. Among the reasons that was necessary is that the previous record holders in Supreme Court depravity, the now superseded Taney Court declared that Black People were not citizens of the United States. I could point out that would have included the two children that Coney Barrett adopted from Haiti, I'm sure the white supremacists she issued that ruling on behalf of would like to send them back there. I'd point out that it's also funny that that Irish American Catholic issued the ruling, considering that at the time of the adoption of the 14 Amendment, which the Roberts Court is repealing piece by piece, there were plenty of her ideological ancestors who would certainly have been in favor of stripping children born to Irish immigrants of citizenship.
No, Amy Coney Barrett isn't some kind of moderating force, hardly even in those minority opinions she enters into along with the three non-thugs on that thuggish court. She does a far milder version of the dance that previous great white hopes for "Republican moderation" such as O'Connor and Kennedy played, though they certainly never intended to not further the fascism of the Court they sat on.
The Supreme Court is and has long been entirely out of hand, entirely beyond the pale, entirely the major danger that the United States has of becoming a fascist, one Republican-fascist party state, with Jim Crow, with the subjugation of Women, with the outlawing of LGBTQ+ People, with workers in peonage and the working poor and destitute crushed. The fucking First Amendment was in effect the entire time all those things happened in the past, its idolization by the "civil liberties" industry is the main tool that has brought us here.
Someone has to point these things out, you're not going to get it from the MSNBC lawyers or even from Meidas Touch until its far too late and they won't be allowed to say it.
