Is far worse than the Taney court ever was.

My 3 glaring examples of why.

1st- 2024 immunity ruling. Resulting in all we have seen since Jan 2025.
2nd- Shadow docket approval of ICE, which open the door to what we witnessed in Minneapolis.
3rd- Shadow docket approval of DOGE that we now know stole 500mil Americans SS data... and the abrupt shutdown of USAID which we are currently seeing ebola capitalize on in the DRC.
