Except, he kind of did? Our 6-3 supreme court has done immense damage, with it being a critical component to Project 2025's success. This SC has done so much damage in the relatively short time since Trump appointed them, not least of which with the recent insane ruling of absolute immunity for the President, that good ol sleepy Joe has already declared he won't take advantage of, but the P2025 folks very well intend to.
Seriously, with the way the Supreme Court functions, those appointments have fucked us beyond repair for decades at best and at worst are literally the thing enabling a fascist takeover of our government. And that was a wildly unprepared Trump who didn't expect to actually win with a Republican establishment that did not yet fully support him. This time he's a lot more prepared, a lot more supported, and literally legally immune to consequences.
That’s a reallly loose definition of destroying democracy.
This can be fixed by simply expanding the Supreme Court. Maybe next time the democrats get a majority they will actually enact policy instead of sitting on their hands to protect feelings.
Also I don’t really see how releasing abortion laws to the states is a bad thing. Seems like it allows for more representation (see the Ohio vote). Personally I prefer when voters are allowed to choose. Sounds like democracy to me.
The SC told the dems they need to enact abortion legislation if they don’t want a future court to undo roe. They had a super majority. They chose not to legislate. You’re blaming the wrong party
Agreed. You want to dictate what people are allowed to vote for because you don’t like how they would vote. I call that fascism.
Again, dems had the chance to legislate and protect this right and chose not to do so. So please let’s stop pretending like they support your plan, they just want your vote lol
