Supreme court is blatantly corrupt at this point.

You have the right to choose who you do business with... unless you're a university; then you'll do as we tell you.

This point!?
It's been blatantly corrupt for a long ass time.

The SCOTUS has been a force resisting civil rights and good governance for pretty much all of American history.

Too many middle-aged and older people these days grew up under the Warren court, but the Warren court was a fucking blip. An anomaly. An aberration.

They looked at the clock of the court, saw the sun high in the sky, saw the hands pointed at noon, and thought to themselves "Ah, everything is working fine." But the clock's dead broken and has been for centuries.

Agreed. I would like to see a radical restructuring of the court, with additional justices to provide a better plurality of opinion and a non-partisan ethics oversight committee with the power to force recusals and bring criminal charges to justices that fail to disclose conflicts of interest.

Not American; what did The Warren court do?

Desegregation, right to a defense attorney & Miranda rights, ending mandatory school prayer.

But also colloquially the era stretching a bit beyond where the court had a Liberal vision often including decisions in the 70s/80s decisions like roe v wade
