Today is Independence Day.
Perhaps it is time for more attorneys general from blue states to declare their states' independence from the corrupt rulings of the right-wing extensions of the GOP and the Federalist society who sit on the Supreme Court.
Let these Supreme Court "originalists" grapple with the fact that NOWHERE in the Constitution does it give them the right to judicial review. The Court gave itself this power in Marbury v. Madison (1803).
Let them grapple with the fact that they have no power to enforce their corrupt rulings.
Perhaps it is time that we took back our country from the slow-moving GOP/ Federalist Society coup that happened when Mitch McConnell and the GOP Senate refused to consider Obama's Supreme Court candidate 8 months before a presidential election, and then turned around four years later and rammed Trump's nominee through the confirmation process only a month before a presidential election.
Maybe it's time that blue state attorneys general declared our independence from:
Corrupt religious rulings that undermine the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Corrupt Second Amendment rulings that ignore over 200 years of precedent and the plain reading of the the text referring to the right to "bear Arms" being tied to "a well regulated Militia."
The corrupt Dobbs ruling that dismissed 50 years of precedent, and took away half the nation's right to bodily autonomy and reproductive healthcare (by indirectly imposing their own right-wing religious beliefs on our country).
The corrupt Citizens United decision that allowed for "legal political bribery," which has allowed corporations and the wealthy to "buy" politicians.
Corrupt rulings that undermined the Voting Rights Act, and allowed for "political" gerrymandering.
Two corrupt rulings that ignored precedent and undermined continuing the 50 years of higher education affirmative action progress in combatting the ongoing effects of systemic racism in our educational system.
Corrupt rulings that undermine the ability of the EPA to protect our environment and combat climate change.
Corrupt rulings that undermine the authority of government agencies to protect our health.
Let's "NOT go quietly into the night."
Let's "NOT vanish without a [political] fight."
Maybe it's time that attorney generals in blue states declared "our Independence Day!"
