Opinion | Self-government is worth defending from an illegitimate Supreme Court
(www.washingtonpost.com)
@politics on kbin.social is a magazine to share and discuss current events news, opinion/analysis, videos, or other informative content related to politicians, politics, or policy-making at all levels of governance (federal, state, local), both domestic and international. Members of all political perspectives are welcome here, though we run a tight ship. Community guidelines and submission rules were co-created between the Mod Team and early members of @politics. Please read all community guidelines and submission rules carefully before engaging our magazine.
Because they are politicians being wined and dined and bribed--excuse me, lobbied--by wealthy corporate interests.
This is a good article, but what I want to know is, what are we supposed to do about it? The checks and balances built into our political system have failed. There is currently no check on the Supreme Court. They have the power to do whatever they want.
Everyone says "vote", but they're preaching to the choir. Obviously anyone who cares is already voting.
