Courting Disaster 0
Robert Reich argues that the current Supreme Supremacist Court has gutted the legal concept of “standing,” that is, of who under the law has the capacity to bring suit in court. Here’s a bit of his article:
Bad enough that three of the justices now in the majority were appointed by a man who lost the popular vote, who was impeached twice, and who promoted an insurrection against the United States. And two others were appointed by a man who also lost the popular vote and led the nation into war in Iraq under false pretenses.
Now that the court has obliterated the guardrail on what it can consider, there are no limits to what this least democratic branch of government — and its extremist majority — might do.
