If our country is a country of laws that keeps even and honest then we need to cleanup the U.S. Supreme Court, the last stop for all lawsuits and even then they can change any laws based on previous laws. However, it appears they are now changing laws based on corporate money and vacations.
Today, if the political party in the White House wants a change on the billionaire-influenced Supreme Court they would have to have the money today for any change.
The corporate billionaires use Citizens United ruling to buy off the late Antonin Scalia, current Supreme Court judges Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito—that we know of—and who knows about the rest for the temptation of billions of dollars can sway even the so-called honest judges.
At this time, any case, which would do damage to the 1 percent will lose, which means any labor case, union case or voting case will lose even student debt relief. On top of this any climate and healthcare laws will not make it passed the Supreme Court because theses challenges might impact billionaires’ income.
Remember, the Supreme Court giveth and it taketh away, like taking away the abortion laws.
If we are a country of laws then we must find a way back to a fair and balanced judicial system. To love our current problem of corporate bought and paid for judges by expanding the Supreme Court, do we change the law and make the court of term limits, do we establish a way for the sitting president to have removal authority if a judge engages corporate corruption? Or do we change the selection process to ensure judges are not in the pocket of billionaires or inclined to be with consequences great enough to make it not worth the money?
I sit on a board and the law requires that I fill out a conflict of interest form every year. Do the Supreme Court judges have to fill out this form or ones like it? They are supposed to report any gift, money of otherwise, which Thomas and Alito did not do and are now scrambling to do so, but both have asked for extensions of three months or so to complete the forms. They should have been shown the door.
The AFL is with Senator Bernie Sanders and it is the people’s only chance to push back against Elon Musk, who wants to dismantle our government. Musk family is said to have left South Africa because they could no longer exploit The native/black Africans so he bought Trump and now he’s laying waste to America in the name of progress. With Senator Sanders’ leadership and backing of all labor unions, we could put together the whole of 99 percent of the people and beat back the 2 percent destroying we what once had and stood for while also saving Social Security, healthcare for all, elder care, child care, while working on the climate change crisis (we are running out of time, as the weather is showing us). The workers need to go big, such as a four-day work week like other countries have; universal basic income (UBI) and Medicare for all for unhoused people, which would help get them off the streets. UBI goes right back into the local economies, which supports jobs for the other working p...
