       Noting "Sam Alito’s corruption-drenched decision gutting the remains of the Voting Rights Act," Josh Marshall says,"The corrupt majority has now doubled down not simply on the non-reviewability of gerrymandering but gerrymandering as a critical and fundamental right of states."#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #Republicans #Callais /1https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-courts-corruption-seeps-into-every-tissue-of-american-life

       "The Court’s abuses of power now extend to any laws that would limit their goal of remaking the country by corrupt means.So it all comes back to Court reform. The toxins and bacteria of the Court’s corruption spread into every tissue of American life."#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #Republicans #Callais /2

       Gene Weingarten notes that historians consider the Taney court the worst Supreme Court in US history. But: "Now consider the John Roberts court. It is politically fractured. It has dispensed hell from day one, almost unfailingly enforcing a right-wing activist political agenda. It is absurdly partisan and morally corrupt."#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #Republicans #Callais /3https://geneweingarten.substack.com/p/is-this-the-worst-supreme-court-ever

       "It has ushered in a nearly constant descent into our darker past. ...No Supreme Court in history has been so blatantly morally compromised — this is the first ones whose actions were stinky enough to lead to Congress creating a code of conduct for them."#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #Republicans #Callais /4

       "In effect this is the first time that a Supreme Court — the ultimate authority on what constitutes proper, legal, ethical conduct — required a nanny to police their own selves. Primly, deferentially, the code was declared 'voluntary' and 'non-binding.'"#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #Republicans #Callais /5

       "Much of this court’s corruption involves judges accepting favors and gifts from wealthy benefactors with matters that did — or might — come before them. This is a court that, it would seem, can be bought."#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #Republicans #Callais /6

       "This court has been a shameful court ...  I used to argue before the Supreme Court and I read the opinion. It's shit. I mean, it's just bullshit. The whole thing is bullshit. …It is all politics and it is all — this notion of neutral justice is now,for everybody to see, absolute bullshit."~ Robert Reich#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #Republicans #Callais /7https://robertreich.substack.com/p/is-this-the-shittiest-supreme-court

       "Whatever we call it—Jim Crow 2.0, the John Roberts Jim Crow Era, or the John Crow Era—no person in America is more responsible for the return to the Jim Crow Era than John Roberts. The resurrection of the post-Civil War Jim Crow brand of racism is the crowning achievement of John Roberts’ life work" (continued in /9)~ Robert B.

       "The content of the majority opinion was devastating, but so was the timing. I knew that the decision would be bad, but I had hoped that the Roberts Court would at least have the decency to wait until the end of the term in June — not drop this bombshell in the middle of primary season."~ Norman Eisen#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #JimCrow #Republicans #Callais /10https://www.contrariannews.org/p/15-ways-to-fight-callais

       "A multiracial democracy cannot be defended by a narrow constituency. It requires a broader, deeper coalition that spans race, gender, class, geography, religion, and identity."~ Bryan FairThe purist games that play minority community against minority community — games to which progressives all too easily coalesce: these play the game right-wingers want to see played.#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #JimCrow #Republicans #Callais /11

       "This week’s ruling was not a one-off. It’s the logical endpoint of a decades-long effort to disenfranchise minority voters and keep minority representation to an absolute minimum.The three longest-serving conservative justices on the court right now have a combined 75 years on the bench. This is their pet project. They own it."~ Bryan Tyler Cohen#SupremeCourt #SamuelAlito #JohnRoberts #corruption #VotingRights #WhiteSupremacy #JimCrow #Republicans #Callais /12https://plus.briantylercohen.com/p/scotus-just-gutted-the-voting-rights
