I read a guest essay in the NY Times that suggests that the Supreme Court is not following an ideological partisan agenda intended to benefit project 2025 or Trump and his camp.
I'll just leave you with this: When the Chavistas down here discovered that people had had enough of them (in the aftermath of the 2015 Legislative elections). The outgoing Chavista National Assembly retired a whole bunch of Supreme Court Judges and made sure their replacements were Chavista Partisans. This allowed Maduro to nullify the new National Assembly, which was overwhelmingly pro-opposition and cling to power. At that point we stopped having any form of representative government. Hope the average gringo realizes how close they are to becoming an autocracy. Because the consequences won't be pretty. Not only for the US, but for the whole world in general.
People don’t seem to realize that it is the judiciary that seems to be the 5th column in these sort of things. Or that when the rule of law becomes subverted it’s game over for democracy.
