For a summary of recent SCOTUS back-stabbings🔪, see this list from the Guardian:
“…like Congress, the Republican majority on the supreme court has lined up behind most of the president’s sweeping assertions of novel powers. [novel ~ kind of like Corona virus]
- The supreme court has #blocked lower federal court #rulings that had reined in the president’s #authority to withhold #medical research #grants for #ideological reasons.
- It has allowed the executive branch to deploy roving [masked] immigration #patrols to engage in racial #profiling
- to expel noncitizens to countries on the brink of civil wars where they could face #torture trafficking or death;
- to fire ‘non-regime-friendly’ officials (in #violation of federal law);
- to #dismantle entire departments and more.” -
#SupremeCourt's #rulings on #gerrymandering are under scrutiny for being #incoherent and #raciallybiased.
The #Court going to #weaken the #VotingRightsAct, by allowing #states to claim their #racially-driven #gerrymandering is merely #partisan. It's #Alarming.

On Tuesday, #Johnson & #Johnson became the latest drugmaker to take the Biden administration to federal court in an attempt to put a #halt to the #drug #pricing #program. Three other drug companies — #Merck, #Bristol #Myers #Squibb and #Astellas #Pharma — have filed their own lawsuits, as have the industry’s main trade group and the U.S. #Chamber of #Commerce.
The suits make similar and overlapping claims that the drug pricing provisions are #unconstitutional. They are scattered in federal courts around the country — a tactic that experts say gives the industry a better chance of obtaining #conflicting #rulings that will put the legal challenges on a fast track to a business-friendly #Supreme #Court.

#US #SupremeCourt rejects #RepublicanParty calls for #unchecked #power for #state #legislatures in #US #Elections
The #IndependentStateLegislature theory directly contradicts the US Constitution, which explicitly gives Congress the authority to set most election related rules and regulations.
