...the Supreme Court:

" The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;— between a State and Citizens of another State,—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects. "

...maybe somebody could explain to me how the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of the meaning of the Constitution itself...

...

...a majority vote which means a minority nominated and appointed 3 right-wing political hacks to our Supreme Court who are now removing Rights and forcing Americans to do things with their bodies ...

...I'm not saying anything you haven't heard before but what I am saying is fix the Constitution while we have majority control of the House, Senate and Presidency...(even the manchin's are feeling bad - let's find out how bad)

...if we're going to remain a minority controlled country, stop touting this place as anything special, stop doing anything to prolong it's survival and acknowledge we are no democracy when losers win elections...

...how serious are we about democracy?

...be creative, fix it!

trump has even said in public, "Grab 'em by the pussy."

...why did so many women vote for trump?

...

...appear to be off the gun-law/restriction table, Republicans in Congress should be willing to go along with additional school funding to teach our young students how to proficiently smear dead classmate blood on themselves for survival during a mass shooting...

...teaching all of our young students how to play dead during the next mass school shooting will help them survive and should not offend Republicans or cause harm to the 2nd Amendment...

...we just can't seem to make Republicans understand that our children being slaughtered in schools is unacceptable...

...until we do, we need to teach our children how to best survive a mass school shooting as part of their regular school curriculum...

...unbelievable...

...there are sanctions and then are sanctions...

...Hugo would be proud...

...get the oil...

...does anyone know if there's a compiled list of Progressive primary candidates for Illinois office?

...who compiled the list?

...I've looked but I can't seem to find a list of Progressive only candidates...

...I don't want to vote for just any Dem but only Progressive primary candidates if I have the option...

...I'm not the greatest with computers, so thanks for any help...

...

...we have an epidemic of gun violence at schools...

...first, like with COVID, we need to protect our children by keep them home this fall until it's completely safe to attend schools...if they are allowed to attend schools under current conditions there's a chance they may be killed by a bullet...guns are the number one killers of children...

...our Duma and supremes have been bought and paid for by the oligarchs with disinformation and lies...we are being slaughtered out here in America and no one cares...we are being slaughtered and we can't get the help or relief we need from our ballot process...

...what's the alternate for our survival when elections produce liars, dis-informers, killer enablers with massive amounts of gun carnage?...how long has it been since Columbine?

...if not the ballot, the battle field?

...

...from now on after every mass gun fire carnage I want to see untouched first responder photos published of the actual damage sustained by a human body from an AR-15 round...

...I want to see the first responder photos immediately published of what an AR-15 does to the face and body of a slaughtered six year old child...I want to see what an actual exit wound looks like out the back of an officer who bled to death...I want to see all the body part damage caused by multiple rounds from an AR-15...

...then maybe after a sickened public wakes up and faces reality these slimy motherfuckers will pass some real gun control legislation...

...

...what I've heard so far is NOT GOOD ENOUGH...

...easy access and a right to own high power weapons has to end...

...we must the stop the human carnage these weapons allow...

...do something Congress...human lives, children lives, are worth millions of times more than you and your shitty political careers...

...do something Prez...declare Martial Law, confiscate the military grade weapons, tax them out of existence, make their ammunition illegal, treat gun violence like you would a Putin invasion, but do SOMETHING MEANINGFUL to stop this needless gun carnage...

...the senseless slaughtering of the innocent with guns has to end right here, right now...

...and what I've heard so far is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

...

...guns in the hands of average citizens...

...it's too easy to legally purchase, accumulate and use high-power weapons in this country...being able to legally purchase and use a weapon that can kill 30 people in 30 seconds is unacceptable...

...take Uvalde...giving the police the benefit of the doubt, there will always be human error that will end in the slaughter of people...

...many mass killers acquire their weapons legally, choose the time and place, have no mental or criminal record and lock doors behind them when slaughtering...

...we can't protect ourselves against the good citizen turned mass-killer but we can take away their mass killing tools...

...they can kill with a muzzleloader, car, knife or baseball bat but they won't be able to slaughter 30 people in 30 seconds...

...so, what are we going to do about it?

...if one of my family members or friends were slaughtered in a mass killing, I know what I would do about it...
