politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I am not optimistic
With the current composition of SCOTUS, no.
Who cares what the Supreme Court thinks. They've shown to be partisan hacks. Nevermind that they held up Obamas nomination action for an entire year so they could install their own lackys.
The conservatives on the Supreme Court shut the previous program down. That (and for many other reasons) is why you should care what the Supreme Court thinks. Donald Trump installed three lifetime conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
Elections have consequences.
Yeah, I'm saying that the Supreme courts legitimacy has been called into question. Well, frankly our entire system at this point. A lot of people pulling strings from behind the scenes to get to this point.
My point is that we should just ignore the Supreme Court. They have shown that they're not up to their responsibility.
I think you should look up how the supreme court works
I don't need to look it up. I know how it is intended to function, and it's not working anymore. You are aware that our country is on the verge of becoming a fascist dictatorship right? And the Supreme Court seems weirdly friendly to the idea.
There is a concerted and coordinated effort from foreign countries, and one of the major political parties to do so.
