John Roberts will be held accountable by history for the downfall of this country.

4fleurandfriends.bsky.social•41 days ago

So true.

cloudydays16.bsky.social•45 days ago

Compliancy by the establishment played a role in this, as well as, never holding one Party accountable for their deeds.

megintheshire.bsky.social•45 days ago

Absolutely! Citizens United has destroyed our democracy. We citizens cannot compete with big money interests.

burshu.bsky.social•45 days ago

Right you are. The Supreme Court has the greatest direct culpability for destroying this country.

Like that Trump OWNS everything in America and money is speech?

They have all the money, the court, soon the press (most have caved), and bribery is legal.

Good job America

Citizens united has destroyed we the people.

danpoz.bsky.social•45 days ago

That was the plan

julieshields.bsky.social•45 days ago

Great piece and points. I often think about what we could do with all the money donated in a presidential election: we could solve a lot of problems with it. Citizens United is the root of much evil.

I agree. Things have become disastrous since then.

sweet-lou.bsky.social•45 days ago

THE ROBERTS Court has been Corrupt for a long time. Now they aren’t trying to hide or deny it.

The Citizens are So SCREWED.

theedebwild.bsky.social•45 days ago

I wish the SC would own the results of that decision but they never will

skygallery.bsky.social•44 days ago

Bingo!

pctekjoe.bsky.social•45 days ago

Tiffany, you are 100% correct about an oligarchy!

forrester1910.bsky.social•45 days ago

I haven't even read the article and I can tell you without a doubt you are 100% correct.

aka-mark.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you.

ridgerunner46.bsky.social•45 days ago

Too true.

sandboxpete.bsky.social•45 days ago

Citizens United is only 1 of the many really bad decisions to come out of the Roberts court.

whamlett.bsky.social•45 days ago

I've been saying this since the day of the ruling. Roberts is the Beginning of all this corporate control (fascism).

ellarganon.bsky.social•45 days ago

John Roberts’s legacy - destroying our democracy

jamieportugal.bsky.social•45 days ago

It’s all fallout from the 2000 election

chasenmytail.bsky.social•45 days ago

Completely agree and have been screaming it from the rooftops for a while!! Devastating ruling

blackcat1111.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you Tiffany

bannerite.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you. Citizens United allows for wealth supremacy!

rahnamepting.bsky.social•45 days ago

We have Sen Mitch McConnell to thank for all of this don’t we?

oldmamabear81.bsky.social•45 days ago

So go back to how Citizens United started and who was in on it.

jarrodp.bsky.social•45 days ago

Bravo

jhershour.bsky.social•45 days ago

So very true

The Supreme Court cons have done more than any foreign power to destroy our republic. From destroying gun regulation, to dismantling voting rights, to giving complete control over public discourse to the new feudal lords of wealth; their reign is a catastrophe.

grancracker.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you for posting this reminder!! 💙

indicina.bsky.social•45 days ago

None of it could have even happened without Republican’s Citizens United gift from the Supreme Court.

laureldavilacpa.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is why we now have an oligarchy.
