The 6-3 Supreme Court decision announced Monday permitting racial profiling by federal police has tipped this majority over from the Republican Supreme Court to the Fascist Supreme Court. Disguised as a procedural matter, it may not be the final say on the subject, but it certainly looks like it basically will be.
That news got swamped by the latest Epstein revelations. But don't be deceived. The Epstein scandal won't derail Chaos. What's happening is bigger than the current President. Behind him is a v.p. who is in many ways worse. And it's all becoming institutional, meant to survive any one person. White supremacy is being institutionalized in government, the federal police and the armed forces.
Trying to give us a little hope, some prominent commentators are emphasizing the political weakness of Boss Chaos, reflected in absurdly one-sided poll numbers. They suggest he is much sicker than the White House admits and can't go on much longer. But none of that matters at least in the short term with a Fascist Supreme Court shredding basic rights affirmed by law and prior court decisions, and enabling the worst excesses of a dictator.
The failing economy, the anxiety over vaccines and other federal health insanity, even the disgusting Epstein scandal--none of that will stop this ongoing consolidation of crime boss power, as long as the Supreme Fascist Court backs it, and the cowardly Congressional majority continue to offer their behinds.
The pattern we're seeing is resistance by ordinary people and institutional cowardice and codependence--institutions run by the wealthy and powerful. Which perhaps should not be a surprise since that's how oligarchy works.
The dictatorship is consolidating, the Dark Age has begun. Maybe it can be stopped--this is a big country that's used to being better. But let's not deceive ourselves. It can only be stopped if elections are fair. And the longer this tyranny, destruction and chaos goes on, the more damage, and the harder it will be to repair, and the more time it will take. Even slowing it down even a little may help, which is why Chicago's stand, and Boston's, and George Mason University's, are important.
