No, Manchin is why he doesn't have 50 in the senate.
Abusing the anti-democratic Senate, the Repugs packed the Senate in the 19th century
When Adding New States Helped the Republicans
Putting new stars on the U.S. flag has always been political.
But D.C. statehood is a modest partisan ploy compared with the
mass admission of underpopulated western territories—
which boosts the GOP even 130 years later.

The Supreme Court Just Came Perilously Close to Blowing Up Federal Elections

there is no doubt they will move from 4 to 5 justices almost certainly in time for the 2024 presidential election
Court splits 6-3 on whether POTUS is commander in chief
https://www.vox.com/22996799/supreme...e-austin-covidThe Supreme Court on Friday evening decided, no, it was not going to needlessly insert itself in the military chain of command above President Joe Biden.
The Court’s decision in Austin v. U.S. Navy SEALs 1-26 largely halted a lower court order that permitted certain sailors to defy a direct order. A group of Navy special operations personnel sought an exemption from the Pentagon’s requirement that all active duty service members get vaccinated against Covid-19, claiming that they should receive a religious exemption.
A majority of the Court effectively ruled that, yes, in fact, troops do have to follow orders, including an order to take a vaccine.
The decision is undeniably a win for the balance of power between the executive branch and the judiciary that has prevailed for many decades. But the fact that the Court had to weigh in on this at all — not to mention that three justices, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch, dissented from the majority — is a worrisome sign about America’s judiciary.
As Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained in a brief opinion laying out why the lower court erred, this court “in effect inserted itself into the Navy’s chain of command, overriding military commanders’ professional military judgments.”
the usual "judicial activism" complainers seem to have fallen silent on the recent custom of SCOTUS deciding emergency cases without any open hearing or any written opinion, that have the effect of changing the law.
You're just beside yourself because Thomas didn't follow RBG "into the dust that is always the end."
Ass over teakettle back to the Lochner Era
radical right wing judges, tbh
Carson v Makin, some are calling this the repeal of the establishment clause.
tl;dr
1A requires Maine to fund religious education.

Basically, three anonymous billionaires bought SCOTUS
This may go to SCOTUS.
tl;dr
Corporate political donation = core free speech
Corporate boycotts = expressionless economic activity not protected by 1A.
Affected: boycotts of Israel and fossil fuel divestment.

slowly at first, then suddenly
cert denied, Thomas dissents
WV v EPA has the potential to radically undermine the administrative state. Radical implications beyond environmental protection, the basis all executive branch regulatory agencies is being challenged here.
Radical Republicans might get their long cherished wish to repeal the New Deal.
You thought you'd defeated President Trump, eh, Winester?
No- in'-way.
The SC isn't conservative, it's revanchist and radical.
This wasn't like with Bush2...President Trump wasn't in' around, sassafras. He nailed ya not once, not twice, but all three times. You found out, huh?
Even made big shot Roberts get in the back seat with the 3 lefties leaving 6 jammed in the front seat...the 5 Justices and Mrs. Thomas. ha, ha, fart-face.
Supreme Court temporizes, leaving LA's racial gerrymander in place until it can rule that they're legal in another case.
