There is no longer a reason to hold onto a belief of what the likes of Alito, Roberts etc. and other justices on the US Supreme Court are as people.

Regardless of what one can say about their educational and professional achievements they are at heart horrendous human beings. These are people who would have no problem with swinging the clubs that beat John Lewis on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. These despicable creatures show us in 2026 what the “judges and juries” in the South of the Jim Crow era and beyond were like.

Their aim is use their authority to strip rights from people and to protect the white rule while claiming it is not about race. They are liars in robes who have lied their way onto the highest court. My suggestion is that the time is now for elected Democrats to drop all politeness when speaking of these justices. Say the words publicly of what they really are and hold nothing back because there is no longer “another time” for it. The time is now. Call them racists at every opportunity. Speak on the floor of the House and in the Senate and call them what they are. Do not shrink from this because this has gotten worse and worse year after year and elected officials being silent or “respectfully” disagreeing accomplishes nothing except the sure destiny of the racists continuing their rape of the rights of people and wiping their ass with the Constitution and this democracy.

My suggestion for example would be for any elected official with some guts is to take the opportunity of the next State of The Union speech where the justices are seated together and walk over to them and hand these racists each a white hood symbolic of their true selves and what they have done and have worked to do for decades. Would it cause an uproar and incident? Damned right it would and it would be a breath of fresh air to see someone actually throw it in their faces live on TV rather than let them sit smugly while people simply lament and criticize their decisions on a scholarly basis.

Oh yes I know it won’t happen and so on we go to the next outrage and the next. Dead protesters, women denied reproductive rights, minorities denied voting rights and equal representation, US citizens grabbed, threatened with deportation and held for months in “custody” and we have to ask at what point do they come after the right to assemble? They already show they take a restricted view of the 4th Amendment along with their attitude towards allowing religious fanatics to insist on having their views inflicted on children in schools and to ban books from libraries. These justices have codified allowing job discrimination, environmental degradation and weakening of already lax worker safety protections.

Along the way they give one or two rulings that seem OK but is it really anything other than giving themselves “cover” and to blunt some of the opposition to them while they plot to do more and increasing damage to the rights of people, our elections and our democracy? I don’t want to hear talking heads telling me in scholarly tones that John Roberts has had a desire and has worked for decades to gut the Voting Rights Act. That might do for a college seminar. Many people will hear that on their TV and go “Yeah that’s true” and then move along. Screw that. Call John Roberts and Alito virulent racists and if the program hosts and producers don’t like it fuck them. The time is long past to call these people what they are and I don’t give a damn who doesn’t like it or who gets hurt feelings or who thinks it’s “divisive”.

Damned right I want to be divided from these evil racists and fascists. I am not interested in “getting along with” or “understanding their views and concerns”. All of that kind of talk is simply propaganda from the racist/fascist camp being thrown back at us to play on the meme that we should “ease up” and that the political climate in the country is “our fault” too. Bullshit.
