On a dark and historic day in America (and, apparently, on The BradCast<\/i><\/a>), I offer a few thoughts on how unelected, radical, extremist, activists Justices (who are not “conservative” by any stretch of the imagination, please stop calling them that), who have been packed onto a stolen U.S. Supreme Court majority have only just begun the corrupt work for which their lifetime seats on the High Court were purchased. [Audio link to full show follows below this summary.<\/i>]\n

On Thursday<\/a>, the illegitimate Republican majority simply ignored the written text of the 2nd Amendment’s mandate to “well regulate” the right to bear arms by cancelling [PDF]<\/a> New York’s century-old law limiting the concealed carrying of weapons in public, robbing elected state officials of their right to protect their citizenry from gun violence.<\/p>\n

Then, on Friday<\/a>, after declaring in their gun ruling that officials elected by the voters have no right to well regulate firearms, the same corrupt Justices cancelled [PDF]<\/a> a half century of well-established Constitutional rights to personal privacy and reproductive freedom. The rightwing Court extremists declared that states and, indeed, the federal government, do<\/i> have the right to force women to bear the child of their rapist — even as the product of incest or sex trafficking. <\/p>\n

In overturning 1973’s Roe v. Wade<\/i><\/a> (the landmark 7 to 2 majority opinion written by a non-corrupt Republican-appointed Justice), Sam Alito echoed Clarence Thomas’ gun ruling one day earlier by pretending that any specific rights not in existence 233 years ago, when the Bill of Rights was written, lacks the “historical tradition” to be considered a Constitutionally-protected right. (Never mind that whole “well regulated” mandate of the 2nd Amendment which is<\/i>, as it turns out, literally in<\/i> the Bill of Rights.)<\/p>\n

Neither Thomas’ newly divined “historical tradition” requirement for Constitutional rights or Alito’s “historical understanding of ordered liberty”, are made up out of whole cloth. The concept appears nowhere in the Constitution, which actual<\/i>, if un<\/i>corrupted, conservative legal experts know very well.<\/p>\n

As horrible as all of this is, it will only get worse until the corrupt Court is un<\/i>packed and expanded to reflect the actual will of the American electorate. The Court’s rulings on abortion and on gun safety are opposed by huge, bipartisan majorities.<\/p>\n

In a separate opinion on Roe<\/i>, Thomas — arguably the Court’s most<\/i> corrupt Justice — called for the Court to cancel other<\/i> long-standing Constitutional rights established under the same 14th Amendment privacy rights which the Court has now dismantled in cancelling Roe<\/i>. “We have a duty to ‘correct the error'” by reversing the landmark opinions that established Constitutional rights to contraception, same-sex intimacy and marriage…though not inter-racial marriage for reasons that the inter-racially married Thomas failed to explain.<\/p>\n

We share both President Biden and House Speaker Pelosi’s responses to today’s historically corrupt ruling, as they vow that the fight for Constitutional freedoms is not over and call on Americans to make their voices heard in response this November.<\/p>\n

“Today the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away<\/i> a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized,” the President said<\/a>. “They didn’t limit it, they simply took it away. That’s never been done to a right so important to so many Americans. But they did it.”<\/p>\n

“This fall,” he later emphasized, “Roe<\/i> is on the ballot. Personal freedoms are on the ballot. The right to privacy, liberty, equality — they’re all on the ballot.”<\/p>\n

They are indeed. <\/p>\n

After plenty more on all of the above, we conclude today with our latest Green News Report<\/i><\/a>, most topics of which are also on the ballot this November. Please prepare your voting plans now…<\/p>\n
