50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

Might does NOT make right. Sometimes it does, but mostly it doesn't.

But whatever might makes, might tries to tell everyone that it's right. Just more loudly and more angrily the more wrong it is.

The Roberts Supreme Court is the worst since the shameful days of Roger Taney’s Supreme Court.

Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump appointees are Republican partisan hacks.

We need radical reform — and we need it the moment Dems regain control of Congress.

"A nonpartisan Justice may compel up to two junior partisan Justices to recuse."

What's wrong with that idea to reduce the politicization of the Court?

"We are, all of us, engaged every day in the construction of a moral order: by our accumulated individual examples, the words we use, the acts we condone, we can make it one that encourages decency and compassion towards others, or the reverse. This is particularly true of those in positions of leadership, political or other."
