I wish I could afford to support you. You are completely correct, the question is, what does Trump have on these people? The court is blatantly biased, if not outright corrupt. It is so depressing. There is no equity in the justice system.
I have read you on sub stack and find sense in what you say. It’s a mad mad world, isn’t it? I have enjoyed your commentary, Trump will affect us all, he and the Bannon team give me chills. They are threatening and dangerous to us all. UK supporter.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has admitted to a private phone call with Donald Trump mere hours before Trump petitioned the court to block his criminal sentencing in the hush money case. Trump’s MO of private calls as a tool for political manipulation? It’s back, and now it’s tangled in the highest court of the land.
Let’s break it down:
The Call: Alito says the chat was about recommending a former clerk for a job. Convenient, right? Yet, not long after, Trump’s lawyers filed an emergency Supreme Court request. Coincidence? Or a chilling abuse of power?
The Implications: This isn’t just about Alito’s questionable ethics or Trump’s blatant disregard for the rule of law. This is about a Supreme Court that increasingly looks less like a check on power and more like a collaborator in Trump’s autocratic playbook.
This isn’t Alito’s first ideological alignment with Trump. Remember Dobbs v. Jackson, which gutted federal abortion rights? Or the court’s ruling granting Trump “presidential immunity”? Alito has been a steadfast ally in reshaping the nation’s legal landscape to fit the far-right’s vision.
🚩 Why This Matters No nation can survive as a democracy if its judiciary operates in the shadows, immune to scrutiny and driven by partisan interests. A justice entertaining private conversations with a litigant—especially one whose political future hinges on the court—is the stuff of autocracies, not constitutional republics.
The court’s approval is at a historic low—40% approval, 60% disapproval—and for good reason. With Trump set to re-enter the presidency and a court seemingly in his pocket, democracy isn’t just in distress. It’s on life support. •••• https://substack.com/@patricemersault
