A Supreme Court ruled by grifters...
The Supreme Court Blesses a Form of Bribery https://prospect.org/justice/2024-06-26-supreme-court-blesses-form-bribery-snyder-v-us/
The amount of public #corruption is already at unbelievable levels. We must figure out better ways to root it out and hold public officials accountable.
#Bribes, #kickbacks, #grifts, #emoluments, or #gratuities — whatever you call them — will eventually destroy us.
@BohemianPeasant but that points squarely to the problem that's going around today, where the Court respected the law written by the democratic process, but instead of holding lawmakers to account for engaging democracy well, everyone's yelling at the Court for saying, yes, democracy matters a lot.
And so we'll fail to hold our congresspeople accountable for not reforming laws.
It's a bizarre picture, but in the end, we have to have better civics education and current events reporting exactly so people know how their government works.
Because right now, this is a GREAT example of elected officials escaping accountability.
