Sure didn't take the court long to dispense with that issue, did it? Twenty five days from arguments to decision. Some will say this issue had an inherent "clock" associated with it since a decision was required for a state to print ballots. Well, the primary is TOMORROW and there was a stay on the removal so he was going to appear on the ballot regardless. The issues associated with immunity from criminal prosecution are more general and thus don't have an "urgency." Only in the Bizarr-o world occupied by the Supreme Court.

How odd that the same Supreme Court pushed by members like Clarence Thomas to roll back individual civil rights including those crucial to the rights of criminal suspects are blazing new trails finding "rights" for the most corrupt among us to seek power in the highest offices of the land.

How many more decisions like this can be piled atop the weakened frame of our democracy before it collapses? It feels more and more like the last forty years have been an extended effort to get a X-ray of every ambiguity, misplaced comma and incidence of sloppy grammar in our laws to twist and misinterpret them in service to the corruupt and wealthy and against the interests of the ninety nine percent. When every application of the law for the rich and powerful seems to lack any common sense or morality, it's no wonder the public becomes more uninterested in participating in what they view as a charade.
