The Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts is not conducting its rulings in a nonpartisan manner, and it’s hurting all our citizens.
These rulings have gutted gun safety rights, voting rights, reproductive rights and our right to clean air and water. It reduced our ability to fight fraud and to address climate change. The rulings have supported gerrymandering and forced arbitration, which rips off consumers. It has torn a hole in the wall separating church and state.
As well, the vagueness of the rulings has contributed to a chaos of interpretation in our lower courts.
In fact, their rulings are attacking our laws, our regulations that protect us and our liberties of living in a democracy. The recent ruling of unqualified immunity for a president takes us down a dangerous road from a democracy to a dictatorship.
It’s time for the Supreme Court justices to stop leading with their personal biases.
I suggest we each contact the justices and remind them that they work for all citizens of the USA, and partisan rulings are not contributing to a more united citizenship. Contact information for them can be found at www.supremecourt.gov.
