Now that the Divine Order of Appointed Kings (SC) has reversed ROE

what is there to keep them from overruling the election of the next Democratic President? I was one of those who said that ROE would/could never be reversed, but I was wrong. I put nothing past the Evil 6.

They are individually qualified for neither.

would be a step in the right direction.

But it's not just that; they've literally packed the entire court system with "their people," and moreover the entire system is set up to sustain white supremacy anyway. We have serious issues as a society.

That NO Democracy had ever lasted more than 200 years. We beat that mark, but it doesn't look good for the future.

None of us were around in 1190 but,

I was one of those who brought up that point which is historical fact. I fear for what our future will be from this point onward. I am thankful I am old now but I have felt this coming most of my life and I hope I don't live to see the worst of it.

The eyeballs on my fingertips* are going blind and they can't read the letters on the keypad too good anymore!


*As children we have to "see" things by touching them...kids have eyeballs on the ends of their fingertips which eventually lose their sight. I have this on good authority from my four year old nephew BTW.

saying, "Let me see!" While reaching to grab some unique and fragile item.

I always think about it when the letters start wearing off of the keys... usually time to get a new whateveritiswithakeypad.

McConnell has control of the Senate, and the House cannot do anything by itself.

Can POTUS stop the SC? I doubt it.

And we know the people's will is no longer important at all.
