Supreme Court finds that the Civil War was wrongly decided, reinstates the Confederacy

https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/6/25/2106272/-Supreme-Court-finds-that-the-Civil-War-was-wrongly-decided-reinstates-the-Confederacy

Flush with victory on abortion and guns, the formerly “Supreme” court is expected to release additional decisions at the end of this court term. Critics point out that Clarence Thomas, whose ownership by his great grandfathers owner’s descendants will now be reinstated, represents only 3/5 of a Justice which may allow President Biden to appoint a Justice with a 40% vote on the court. Other rulings expected to come soon:

Federal payments for health care (Medicare, Medicaid) will be limited to treatments available when the constitution was written. Government funding will be limited to blood letting and trepanning. States are free to write their own rules regarding leaches. Anesthesia is now outlawed as witchcraft.

Schools that receive government subsidies are prohibited from teaching any fact that contradicts religious beliefs establishing severe penalties for instruction that the earth is a sphere, or that the earth is older than 6,000 years. Chemistry class will be limited to discussions of “phlogiston.”

Mental Illness determined to be caused by evil sprits, federal funds for Mental Health care are limited to treatments dating back to the founding of the Republic. Federal mental health funds may only be used to pay for exorcism.

1) Congressional Pay reverts to the 1796 levels (Maybe throw in a cow for good measure)
2) Congressional security reverts to the 1796 levels as well (good bye Secret Service, godbye FBI)
3) All congressional staffers are to be fired immediately and their salaries returned to the treasury

We could go on for days, but the exercise is futile...the GOP does not care and cannot be shamed into caring.
They seek and grab power for itself and no other purpose beyond reinforcing power for the future as well.

Flush with their victory in repealing a woman’s right to choose, the extreme right wing clique has repealed the 1920’s 19th amendment which gave woman the right to vote .
“They (women) no longer have a right to choose, period” chirped Justice Amy Crony Barrett, the new Gileadist installment to country’s highest court.

Oh, and he can't vote or hold office. Almost makes it worth it.
