Morning, CoSo! ⚖️
What's more Canadian than spending part of Canada Day on one of our four major sports - following and commenting on US news! 🙃
Today for #OnlySky, I offer an explainer of key elements from four #SCOTUS cases last week. There's been a lot of misinformation from rightfully panicked places these past few days. It's important to understand what actually transpired.
Stay vigilant, and stay informed. That's how we make room for change. #Law #Humanism https://onlysky.media/mclark/along-party-lines-scotus-decisions-and-us-schisms/
Let's play hypothetical games. Scenario, democrats win 2024, retain the Whitehouse, controls 60 Senate seats and regains control of the house. They pass legislation for term limits, expand the court, impeach a couple of ethically challenged jurists.
What then? Do the precedence set by this court linger over the country? Do fresh cases have to be brought to establish a new precedence?
Any opinions would be welcome.

Nicely written! Thank you for sharing that. I’ve been looking for a reasoned analysis of what went on.
