  1. My earliest recollections of #SCOTUS rulings date to the mid 1960s, along with both family and classroom discussions of rulings such as Brown vs Board of Education and Loving vs Virginia.

    I never dreamed that #SCOTUS would provide cover for a #WannabeDIctator. Silly me, I sort of beleived what I was taught about #ChecksAndBalance. That was before #MitchMcConnel set the stage for the behavior described below (with a nod to #Biden and his supporting role in the appointment of #ClarenceThomas). #sigh

    In this vein, I strongly recommend @TheEconomist's #ChecksAndBalance #podcast:

    "What do #statehouses tell us about the future of the #RepublicanParty?

    Our weekly podcast on democracy in America. This week, what state-level debates explain about the Republican agenda"

    BTW, I do not use the official app on #Android, #Sonnet works better and can be used for all my pods. 😀
