@GregSargent provides a searing indictment of #SCOTUS in one sentence.
“Meanwhile, the Supreme Court handed the GOP a presidential election victory, has overturned a fundamental right, is riddled with institutional corruption, and is thwarting governmental efforts to sensibly regulate guns and combat climate change even as the planet burns. No wonder national politics looks like a train wreck to the youths.”
Oh gosh, one could go through each of those claims, showing that it's based on either a factually false version of events or fundamental misunderstandings of the design of the US federal government.
It's not so much an indictment of SCOTUS as of the state of journalism and civics education in the country.
From the appellate role, at most, in presidential elections through the Court's emphasis that Congress's duly passed regulations must be respected, these claims are just more sensationalism.
@volkris Well to be fair, it is an opinion piece. If you read the article, he was commenting on how it *appears* to Gen Z. Of course, it is a more complex and nuanced discussion on each of these issues (although the sensible gun regulation and ethics issues are on point for me).
