Guys, guys... I'm starting to think maybe the current SCOTUS doesn't have America's best interests at heart.

If the next Democrat in office doesn't pack the court, I am quitting America.
We need to start with voting in such overwhelming numbers this November that Democrats get the House and Senate - ideally with a huge proportion of actual progressive leftists. It needs to be a large enough majority to completely stop any further actions on Trump's part.
Next, there needs to be congressional hearings that expose everything - fucking everything - the orange sack of shit has done to corrupt the government. Make it stay in the news 24 hours a day. Put federal officials under constant congressional subpoena. Make it impossible for the remaining Republicans in the House and Senate to avoid hearing about it.
Finally, when those Republicans have finally had enough, move to impeach and remove both Trump and Vance. Get both those motherfuckers out of there. Let the new Speaker of the House become acting president, and start cleaning up the mess.
At that point, start packing the court. Boost the number of justices to 15. Implement term limits for SCOTUS as well, and make them retroactive. Alito, Thomas, and Roberts: Gone.
If this happens, maybe in 2028 we can start really repairing the damage.
What a wonderful fantasy this is.
Sigh... Yeah... This country is fucked.
Still gonna vote, though.
They would need to advertise all that and they aren't and they won't
Maybe we all need to be running PACs to get some of that sweet trillionaire money.
Here's an NPR article on it: https://www.npr.org/2026/06/30/nx-s1-5827039/supreme-court-campaign-finance
Backed by the Trump Justice Department, they contended that the only justification for imposing a fundraising limit on parties is to prevent corruption, but they maintained that there is no evidence that the law has prevented corruption.
We had the world's richest man purchase his own government organization in the last election, but somehow we're not worried about corruption?
"we are so corrupt this anti-corruption law didn't stop us, so we are going to rescind the law because obviously it's not working."
Nope. They're on the payroll. Duh.

These are the same sacks of crap that literally said it was not OK to get a payment in advance for them to rule your way... but if they rule your way and you want to thank them with a gift after the fact, then it's all A-OK
They also had changed the definition of corruption so you have to very explicitly state the quid for quo, decided to free the old sleazebag speaker of the state house of New York, historically the most corrupt state in the country. That was like 15 years ago I think or something. But they made a couple of follow up rulings making it even more difficult to prosecute corrupt politicians and businessman.
Can't wait until we get a bill signed that says employers may require signing over voting rights as a condition for employment. That way the billionaires can have all the votes and we can get rid of these pesky regulations and "entitlement" programs.
You either work for them, starve in the streets, or get deported to somewhere they choose.

Even in this scenario, the notion of rebellion does not cross your mind?
They pay the cops, military and PMCs to protect them. Either directly, or indirectly.
The surveillance panopticon ensures all dissent is crushed. Crime will not be tolerated. The three letter agencies never close their eyes, and the tech companies get them all the data they could ever want.
oh is that why there is no crime in the USA?
and the tech companies get them all the data they could ever want.
you mean the data americans happily volunteer for likes and clicks?
Even expecting nothing I am surprised how easily you all gave up before thinking about trying to do anything
I guess we gotta get into the campaign services business to be on the receiving end of those billions.
