This decision was disappointing but not surprising. I will keep fighting the fight to inform as many people as possible of the threat Christian Nationalists pose to our democracy. 45 is their tool. They pull his strings with fawning and flattery.

Don't get discouraged and make sure to cast a vote for anyone other than the current crop of Republicans. Don't throw away your vote on a third party and remember, even if you don't agree or like everyone of their (Biden's/Democrats policies, especially towards Israel) it does not help the world overall to ensure that Trump regains the office along with his co-conspirators. Our institutions needs to be strengthened and in my opinion that can best be done by voting in Democrats to fix the unjust activities of the billionaire class owned Supreme Court and politicians who are doubling down on their priorities. The world climate disaster and the rolling back of environmental and medical laws/decisions need to be stopped ASAP.

I’m so devastated by the votes of Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson. The others don’t even surprise me.

Empires that reach the end of their lifespan care little about 'The Law' as such... what matters more is overall Influence & Power, & how it can be jockeyed best. Like him or hate him, President Donald John Trump has sufficient of both... any attempt at denying him ballot access means Civil War v2.0... which also means US bases overseas being stormed en masse by militiamen & the servicemen in said installations being mowed down mercilessly by UAVs, Mortars, Artillery & Rockets... In other words 'A Mortal Blow'... the Supreme Court it appears... 'know the score' of where things stand.

It is always exasperating to see the Supreme Court play wag the dog and end up with absurdities. In this case, they gave Congress the newly bestowed right to decide who is on every state’s federal ballot. The rationale makes no sense when examined closely. So I suspect they haven’t thought this through and will end up feeling foolish when the law of unintended consequences hits them.

It seems going back to when Senator Joe Biden, then chair of the Judiciary Committee, ridiculed Anita Hill who bravely testified to the unfitness of Clarence Thomas, the Supreme’s have been in a downward spiral with the Democrats oblivious to the long game being played out against law and democracy. So here we are. Even the supposed three liberal justices have drunk the Kool-Aid. Please convince me it’s not now game over.

Another day where, "If my thought dreams could be seen, they'd put my head in a guillotine."

Biden is being selfish just like late Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Dianne Feinstein and other Democrats of the past. The uncommitted votes of Michigan were not just against Biden but also against the Democratic party establishment to come up with better candidate to beat the Oath breaking insurrectionist. If the Democratic Party is actually concerned about not derailing democracy they would nominate Ms. Gretchen Whitmer and Mr. Gavin Newsom for the ticket ensuring Michigan and the Presidency.

Recently the speech calling for the Ceasefire in Gaza by Harris was nothing more than a political ploy as she completed the sentence after the applause indicating it not being permanent but a temporary one. I wonder if 30,000 innocent lives are not enough for them to stop this madness and stop providing Israel with the resources to continue this Genocide.

Fighting for justice and the corrupt is always an uphill battle. May the people keep on the message to oppose alive regardless of the ruling.

I will vote for you, Mehdi! Down with Trump and his fascists, who for some reason want to destroy USA and democracy.

Supreme Court: Knock, knock! Who's there? Donald Trump. Oh, it's you Donald. Whatever you want (sound of rubber stamp). What is the next case we are supposed to decide in favor of our owners? (What to do? Take the gloves off and get to work and get rid of every Anti-American Republican everywhere in any office in any location in America). Want help? Get yourself a copy of "Hit 'Em Where It Hurts: How To Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game" by Rachel Bitecofer.
