The Supreme Court’s decision to allow Texas’ mid‑decade congressional map to stand is the latest in a growing series of rulings that critics say reveal a troubling institutional pattern: when confronted with disputes that could disadvantage Donald Trump or his political allies, the Court repeatedly chooses inaction, delay, or procedural escape hatches over direct constitutional enforcement. For many Americans — especially those whose communities have fought for decades to be fairly represented — this isn’t just another legal setback. It feels like a painful reminder that the system designed to protect their rights can still turn away at the very … Continue reading The Supreme Court Is Abandoning Its Duty

The Dark Chamber of Loyalty: How the Supreme Court Became Trump’s Personal Law Firm The Roberts Court has abandoned its constitutional oath. In its place stands a loyalty test—one that bends precedent, discards legal fidelity, and rewrites the rules to serve one man: Donald Trump.

Justice Kavanaugh went further, urging the Court … Continue reading The Supreme Court Gave Trump a Blank Check — And Congress Cashed It With Silence

Washington, D.C. — The United States Supreme Court is under mounting scrutiny after a series of rulings that legal experts say have drastically expanded executive authority under President Donald Trump—while weakening constitutional protections and compromising the judiciary’s role as a check on presidential power. The controversy centers on the Court’s March 2024 decision declaring that states cannot disqualify federal candidates under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a clause designed to bar individuals who engage in insurrection from holding public office. By overturning Colorado’s attempt to remove Trump from the presidential ballot, the justices avoided ruling on whether Trump’s actions … Continue reading Unchecked Power: Justice in Retreat—How the Supreme Court Undermined Its Own Authority
