11. In their pocket? It's actually worse.

Remember. These are the fools who decided a president could legally "remove" someone from existence IF it were an "official act."
Now, imagine the court making a ruling against the orange piece of shit that he really hates or causes problems for his cronies. Don't you think they understand just how dangerous their positions and lives are beholding to this crazy ass and that they would NEVER rule aginst his wishes to insure their and their family safety? Do you think for a second he wouldn't come up with an "official act" to "remove" a Justice that ruled against him? He can ALWAYS replace that one with another, more radical one!
NO, there will be no "major" decisions against anything the asshole in charge nor what any wealthy Republican Business wants if not only to insure their continued life, liberty and happiness...theirs, but not ours.

As to a comment down farther about what can we fight with...public strikes and slow downs are the first line. And there are a lot of places where ideas can be gleaned before they are removed by those in power. You might be surprised at how many sites give good info on just how to "voice" your opinion if you have little to no other choice in life. However, those who are in the better-off middle to higher plains of income are never going to sacrifice THEIR positions because they're ok, right now. Their bills are paid, they have good jobs (so far), better than adequate healthcare and insurance, their kids go to soccer and ballet classes so if it doesn't really affect them, why should they care?

But if the tide starts to turn either against their "own little worlds" or it looks as though the PTB are going to lose, THEN they will help. Until then, "since it doesn't affect me (us)", the rest can suffer.

Search the net...there are a lot of realistic suggestions on how to handle all kinds of things. You might find one you can live with, for a while.
