“No Supreme Court majority in American history has ever been constructed the way the Roberts court has—with the help of big, dark secret money,”

We need to be clear: people that we elected set up this Court. Presidents and senators nominated, confirmed, and appointed these justices.
Blaming shadowy dark money conspiracies only excuses those elected officials from their responsibility in this. It lets them hold on to power and reputation as they point blame elsewhere for their own doings.
Don't like the makeup of the #SCOTUS? Fine, make sure to never reelect any of the folks who were around through the multiple terms of office that lead to it.
AND never forget that RBG was openly proud of her strategic retirement that ended up backfiring.
@volkris It’s the dark money that helped elect the felon who nominated three of these nitwits and that funded the election of the Senators who voted to confirm them, even in the face of their disastrous confirmation hearings. So, yes, elections have consequences. But honest people aren’t the ones getting the massive funding to get elected, and then further the aims of extremists and billionaires.
I would be interested in an accurate source that informs on RBG being proud of that.
