'This Supreme Court is out of touch with the American people and increasingly suffers a legitimacy crisis.' RepJayapal

That is unlikely to stop the right-wing majority from overturning those rulings, said Rep. Pramila Jayapal , chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

The three liberal justices who dissented against the ruling denounced Alito's claim that the decision would not have an effect on other rights previously protected by the court. ."The lone rationale for what the majority does today is that the right to elect an abortion is not 'deeply rooted in history.'"The same could be said, though, of most of the rights the majority claims it is not tampering with... So one of two things must be true. Either the majority does not really believe in its own reasoning. Or if it does, all rights that have no history stretching back to the mid-19th century are insecure.

RepJayapal The Supreme Court is to interpret the laws in the constitution and are not to worry about what you or I want or think. They are not politicians! At least they are not supposed to be. They should be chosen for their knowledge of the laws and fairness.

RepJayapal It’s worse than being out of touch, they don’t care what Americans think or want.

RepJayapal voters rights and all regulations constricting campaign finance. We are going to have a fascist country If Corporate Democrats aren’t vehemently Doing everything it takes including impeachment of Supreme Court justices ending the filibuster, expand the Supreme Court

RepJayapal Not true! It's only a very loud 15% of America that wants this. The rest of us are happy with their ruling.

RepJayapal You are some bad for America

RepJayapal

RepJayapal Stop the drama! Respect and follow the Constitution!

RepJayapal You still mad 😂😂😂😂😂

RepJayapal It’s legitimacy is no longer in crisis—SCOTUS is now fully and completely and totally illegitimate.

RepJayapal

RepJayapal i believe congress is out of touch with America there all too old and need to retire

RepJayapal SCOTUS has 9 justices because there were 9 Circuit Courts in 1869. There are now 13 Circuit Courts. What are we waiting for?

RepJayapal American teachers have failed. Too many people do not know the laws. Your feelings are not law,nor are your wants. Everyone has rights. The Constitution spells out the rules clearly. 40+ years of horrible and wrong decisions from the court does not make it wrong today.

RepJayapal Why doesnt the President of America pass an Ordinance that 50% reserved seats should be reserved for American Women in every Political Parties in America?

RepJayapal Time to Re-litigate 'Loving vs Virginia'? Funny how Racist Republicans NEVER seem to get around to mentioning that Fly in their Ointment.

RepJayapal The Supreme Court Justices that lied to get confirmed need to be prosecuted for perjury!

RepJayapal Say both the truth and what we need. That they are totally and completely illegitimate

RepJayapal It's not 'out of touch'. It knows exactly where we are. It DOES NOT CARE. Unpopular Republicans got these unqualified justices on the court to do one thing. And docile democrats let it happen. With their 'going high' bullshit and now we're all fkd because of it.

RepJayapal I think the current Supreme Court is doing a great job interpreting the law of the land. I’m glad RBG stayed on till the end and helped President Trump choose the right people.

RepJayapal Unfortunately, there's really no downside for them

RepJayapal They dont care.

RepJayapal 🛑 This patriarchal designed matrix that we have been trapped in since Adam was a boy, is attempting with all its might to claw back the ancient mindset of domination, moral authority and control, including religion.

RepJayapal We are aware that this undermines Loving v. Virginia 388 U.S. 1, right?

RepJayapal They’re not “out of touch.” They’re overtly malevolent.

RepJayapal But they have the power! Why would they care if anyone doesn’t like their decisions? Why?

RepJayapal Why don't the AGs band together to sue Thomas for breach of promise and breach of contract. An oath of office is literally a verbal CONTRACT.

RepJayapal As long as they are in touch with the Constitution, I'm happy.

RepJayapal 😃🤣😃🤣🙈🙉🙊AND WHO PUT THOMAS ON THE COURT😃🤣DEMOC---RATS LED BY JOE BIDEN🖕🖕🖕BIDEN IS A REPUBLICAN🖕🖕🖕BIDEN STANDS AGAINST SOCIAL SECURITY🖕SO DOES PELOSI🖕🖕WHO VOTES FOR THESE CORPORATE TOOLS🖕

RepJayapal The point of bringing forward issues like reproductive rights and gun control are to divide citizens so they don't unite in a class war against the oligarchy. Both parties love this - they can neglect the economy, education, health care, infrastructure, climate crisis, censorship

RepJayapal

RepJayapal Or they sent it back to the states Democrats need a mirror for their failure: Clinton failed to codify Obama failed to codify Biden failed to codify because he has always believed it belongs to the states Democrats failed woman

RepJayapal

RepJayapal Sorry RepJayapal It's you and the party of KKK, SLAVERY, CHEATERS MURDERERS ,PREDATORS ,PEDOPHILES , BABY KILLERS, THIEVES OF MINORITY VOTES/VOICES, DESTRUCTION AND DEATH. Actually, eliminating student debt is FLORRIDLY OUT OF TOUCH.

RepJayapal Notice not interracial marriage. He needs to resign.

RepJayapal Welcome to Amercastan.

RepJayapal The Supreme Court is compromised and illegitimate. Two or more members of the court were directly involved with Eastman, and the coup to overturn the 2020 election. All rulings since November 2020 need to be thrown out and those justices need to be removed from the Court.

Thomas calls for High Court to reconsider gay marriage, contraception decisionsSupreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said, “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.” Details Liberals are mad they can't kill kids no more 👀 The GOP has destroyed the US courts. I wonder if Thomas wants to look at the Brown v Board of Education or if he supports the Minor v Happersett (states can determine if women can vote) ruling as well. I mean we are talking about taking away rights and questioning prescient right?
