Their conservative agenda gets more extreme every day. Thus far they have ended nationwide protections for abortion rights by overturning Roe vs Wade.
In the last week the conservative court decided that race-conscious admissions programs at the oldest private and public colleges in the country, Harvard and the University of North Carolina, were unlawful by overturning Affirmative Action.
They followed that up with striking down Biden's student loan relief plan stopping 43 million people from being able to participate in the loan forgiveness program.
The court also ruled in favor of a web designer who opposed same-sex marriage on religious grounds and refused to make web designs for the LGBTQ community. Another step towards disenfranchising millions of Americans. All toward the extremist goals of making a segment of Americans second class citizens.
And...
The rightwing so-called religious agenda got a boost when the court broadened accommodations that employers must make for workers' religious practices, siding with a postal worker who was disciplined for refusing to work on Sundays for religious reasons.
I won't be surprised to see a sudden rush of postal employees and workers across the spectrum get religion. They don't even have to attend a church to claim the new exemption. I'm curious to see how far this dodge goes. You can bet the new exemption will open more doors and demands.
Organized labor took a hit from the Supremes who just made it easier for employers to sue over strikes, in a ruling siding with a concrete business in Washington state that sued the union representing its truck drivers.
It'll take a year or more to fully realize what these damaging decisions have done in an already polarized society.
As it stands, President Biden is doing all he can with a divided congress to address the wrongs the Supremes have wrought. For the country's sake Biden needs to be re-elected or Trump will finish the job by taking away all of our rights and freedoms under his fascist regime.
