EMERGENCY: To save democracy, unions say Supreme Court reform an immediate necessity

  1. People should be on the street in large protests demanding this.
    A country defined by freedom and totally opposed to kings.
    But everybody is only talking about Biden’s performance in one TV show.

  2. Ironically Biden could just get rid of them as an official act without consequence.

  4. The headline is actually referring to two teachers unions specifically, not all unions.

  6. I was either too young or too removed from politics to understand Citizens United and Bush v. Gore at the time but after the Dobbs decision, WV v. EPA and Biden v. Nebraska it became very clear to me that SCOTUS needs reform at the institutional level. Too many power grabs and too much corruption and bribery. The latest cases just illustrate how much more extreme they are becoming.

    These un-elected wannabe dictators are de-facto lawmakers and that is not the role they are supposed to play in our government.

  7. It won’t happen, there’s no time left. We wont fundamentally change the exploitation by a biased Supreme Court in any time soon.

    With the voter interference by GOP, multiple lawsuits ready to challenge anything that doesn’t go there way and immunity set in place…not looking good.

    Dems are just not fighting hard and vicious enough against the red hat brownshirts that are eager to sweep in for the kill.

  8. If ever we needed a general strike across all sections, union and non union, it’s now

  9. Is this a possibility? How can we force this to happen? Sorry to sound so nieve.

  10. So like how immediately are we talking? 20, 30 years from now? Because I haven’t seen anyone on the Democrats side so a single god damn thing about this just like usual.

  11. Unions will likely be outlawed under this Scotus. They will give all power to corporations

  14. There is no way any of this will be accomplished without mass protests and general strikes.

    We should all be aware of the fact that this is out of the politicians hands at this point. Their hands are tied. If the people don’t rise up to protect their own freedoms they stand to lose it.

  15. Biden has the power to immediately fix the Supreme Court. With this new immunity ruling could arrest the justices who lied to get the job. He could arrest justices who took bribes for rulings. He could arrest justices who encouraged a coup. He could pack the court with progressives and liberals. He could probably even take more decisive and violet action if Justice Sotomayor is to be believed. He just has to act in an official capacity and let a future court sort out if it was legal or not. At his advanced age he might not even live to see the final verdict as such a case might take decades to sort out.

  16. I’m glad some people are paying attention and raising hell about it. I had completely lost hope in our country for a moment. Now it’s only 99% gone.

  17. I think we’re closer to needing a “student tour of the Supreme Court” ala Colombia in 1985 than we are simple reform, but any progress towards a better court would be welcomed.

  18. Almost like the people need to do what’s right..

  19. It seems like everyone in the world knew this court was corrupt and going to do horrible things back in 2020. Sorry Dem leadership did not see this or plan for this.

  22. Oh but AOC is gonna introduce a resolution saying Alito is a meanie. So that’ll take care of it.

  23. If all unions call a national strike I would honor it.

  24. Biden should assign ten new justices as an official act. Nothing they can do to stop him.

  26. To save democracy you need to stop pretending legal proceedings will do anything.  These people that oppose you only understand one language.

  28. We NEED FUCKING LEADERSHIP FROM THE FUCKING PRESIDENT. For Christ’s sake, American democracy is on the fucking line, and we hear nothing but fucking crickets from the Whitehouse. This is not the same ole, same ole. This is a fucking war, and we need a wartime president. If he can’t handle it, step down and let someone step up. The fucking supreme court gave him supreme power on Monday. FUCKING USE IT.

  30. There is zero chance that SCOTUS will be reformed immediately.

    The utopian best case would be for it to be reformed next year after an election wipes out the GOP. That won’t happen, of course, as the GOP is more likely to take power than lose it. But even if the GOP was annihilated any SCOTUS reform would be a year or more from now.

  32. The people created this mess and the people are responsible for fixing it. Biden & the Dems do not have the power nor the numbers to fix it because folks said “meh” and sat on their asses while Boomers & conservatives voted.

    It’s like suddenly everyone is waking up to the fact that they have no retirement & should have been saving 30 years ago.

  33. Why isn’t the media covering Trump being in the Epstein files?
