The Supreme Court's decisions during this term signal the end of free and fair elections.

Trump and his MAGA menagerie have been planning on exactly how they are going to steal this election and get back in power since he boarded the plane and left Washington on January 20, 2021. I'm not speculating or guessing, either, because they have said as much in almost those exact terms. They have systematically put their plan in place, lined up the co-conspirators, including the federal court justices Trump appointed under the condition that they do favors for him when asked.

In the fight to preserve and protect the integrity of this election, we have no allies in the governors and legislatures of red states, who will be working to undermine democracy and steal the election for their own side, and we have no allies in the Supreme Court, which has become the corrupt institution that the founding fathers feared that it could become if given the opportunity. It's been poisoned by partisan politics, and it's worthless now as a means of enforcing the law.

And the possibility exists that the corruption of the courts, and the actions of the mob, may be more than can be overcome this time around. Are there still enough eyes and ears, and enough patriotic Americans, to ensure the integrity of a national election, and then make sure that the will of the people is carried out, and the traitors suffer the consequences of their lawlessness?

I hope so.
