Yesterday the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling holding Trump’s tariffs unconstitutional. There is, of course, a fact about this that the mainstream press will not report, or only hint at.
There was no question about the unconstitutionality of Trumps tariffs. The constitution is clear. Yet 3 justices ignored the obvious in order to support a would be dictator. It should be noted widely that had Biden did the exact same thing, the decision would have been 9-0, with the three fascist enablers no doubt leading the charge against him.
Nothing could make the need for some sort of Supreme Court reform more clear. The lower courts (Aileen Cannon and her ilk excepted) have actually done a good job trying to stop the march of fascism, only, so often, to have those attempts frustrated by a Supreme Court, with the other three part time fascist enablers joining in, which stays the lower court decisions for all time, pending a decision that never comes, or, which upholds patently unconstitutional or illegal behavior. Term limits would appear to be one solution. Packing the court is another, but that risks having it packed again should the fascists return to power.
If Congress passes the so called SAVE act, which will disenfranchise millions of American citizens, the current Supreme Court will most likely uphold it, though it, as well, is clearly unconstitutional. Oddly enough, they may never get the chance, as Mitch McConnell, of all people, is standing in the way. One of those ironies, that the man most responsible for the current make up of the court is, in effect, preventing it from doing the harm that anyone with a brain could have predicted it would do.
