Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls Supreme Court 'most corrupt in American history' - AlternetAnd she's ABSOLUTELY CORRECT:
Two years since six conservative justices topped Roe v. Wade, since our right to choose was taken from us, and pregnant women and people across the country have had their lives at risk. Its been two years since our freedom over our bodies was seized by the most corrupt Supreme Court in American History, Ocasio-Cortez said.
Ocasio-Cortez has previously warned of a crisis of legitimacy over the Court, according to The Guardian. And its not just her. In a September 2023 Gallup poll, Americans approval rating of the Supreme Court is only one percentage point away from the record low. Only 41% of Americans approve of the Supreme Courts performance. That record low 40% was from September 2021, about the exact same Court.

It is a Subversive Court, pushing its extreme ideology onto the nation.

Wealthy. I hate that term and recommend it be changed to punitive. Or how can we continue to fuck America in perpetuity?

so ironic that SCOTUS will be the most likely to cause a constitutional crisis.

(8,503 posts)14. Me too! Some here might think
I'm a Progressive because of some of the positions I've taken or supported, but actually I consider myself a just left of center Democrat.
Nonetheless, I admire the fuck out of strong, principled men and women of integrity like AOC and Bernie, who aren't afraid to tell it like it IS, even when it ruffles some feathers.

But there were some completely awful Courts in the 19th century too.
