    Is it wrong to wish that Biden would immediately drone strike the justices that are in the majority for this decision?

      Trump and his MAGA cult are a clear and present danger to our democracy and its citizens.

      The SCOTUS is majority controlled by corrupt federalists openly colluding with lower courts and federalist donors to bypass our elected lawmakers (congress/senate/potus) to effectively unilaterally write policy. This is a clear and present danger to our democracy.

      Biden has justification to clean house under official pretext.
