What is this democracy you speak of?

So the ultra politically partisan Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito wrote today’s majority opinion further gutting the voting rights act, which figures. The Court is willing to throw a few bones to the libs just to pretend that they are not a wholly partisan institution devoted to protecting the wealthy, corporations and the Republican Party. But when it comes right down to it, they’re going to make sure their real constituency is taken care of.

The fact that there has been absolutely no proof of any systemic voter fraud means absolutely nothing. They are determined to let Republicans suppress the vote as much as they need to. I guess we just have to hope at this point that they go so far that they suppress their own dipshit voters too.

As with everything else political, the stolen, undemocratic Supreme Court conservative majority is completely out of step with the American people:

By a roughly 2-to-1 margin, Americans prioritize making lawful voting easier rather than making voter fraud more difficult, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Thursday.

The poll finds 62 percent of adults saying it is more important to pass new laws “making it easier for people to vote lawfully,” while 30 percent say it’s more important to pass new laws “making it harder for people to vote fraudulently.”

The poll was conducted just before the Supreme Court upheld two Arizona voting restrictions that a lower court had said discriminated against minority voters, with experts saying the decision could make it harder to challenge some new voting restrictions being passed following former president Donald Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud.

The Post-ABC poll finds sharp partisan and racial differences on what new voting laws should focus on. A 59 percent majority of Republicans say it’s more important to pass new laws making it harder to vote fraudulently, while 62 percent of independents and 89 percent of Democrats say new laws should make it easier for people to vote lawfully.

An 82 percent majority of Black adults say it’s more important to make it easier for people to vote lawfully, compared with 67 percent of Hispanic adults and 58 percent of White adults.

The Post-ABC poll was conducted June 27-30 among a random national sample of 907 adults; the margin of sampling error for overall results is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points and error margins are larger among subgroups.

The GOP’s white majority is letting the country know that they will protect their privileges by any means necessary.

Oh, and by the way, the court’s other parting shot was to strike down a California law that required rich political donors to put their names where their money is. They aren’t concerned about average Americans having to go through hoops to vote in this country. But wealthy wingnuts shouldn’t have to reveal who they are financially supporting. God bless America.
