4. You have the right to be hate and fear this SCOTUS

Dec 2020

But I had to think this through to calm myself down. There is no close call here and the Court will, for now, not make waves. I believe they will not take any of these cases as lower courts swat them down. Trump will go down, he will no longer hold Presidential powers and his cult will have a hard time holding their rage in a dangerous pandemic, a lessening economy and as waves of facts wash over them.

I do fear, as in the past, the piecemeal attack on every other reasonable institutions which the Right and their monied backers want disassembled for their gain. The monied backers own the Cons, the Cons in turn have the courts and as such they will find ways to rule in favor of them.
