Hamster fun and information
The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis.
Last year, it was revealed that the Supreme Court received nearly $5 million in luxury gifts from MAGA megadonors — $4.2 million of which went solely to Clarence Thomas.1
Just before the election, SCOTUS then granted Donald Trump “absolute immunity” from prosecution for crimes he committed as President.
And this past Friday, SCOTUS ruled to limit the powers of our lower courts, preventing them from blocking Trump’s executive orders nationwide.
The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis.
The conservative Justices are setting the stage for a Trump presidency above the law. If Congress fails to hold them accountable, it sends a dangerous signal to the special interests trying to buy them off that their actions are fair game.
In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, also from The Bronx, called it an “open invitation for the government to bypass the Constitution.”
This is a tipping point, and inaction is a decision to erode and further delegitimize the Supreme Court. As Alexandria said, “We must go where the facts take us.”
