"The Supreme Ct. may be on the verge of issuing its most nakedly partisan ruling. A Republican-dominated court would be accepting obvious lies from the Trump admin. order to help the electoral fortunes of the Republican Party. It’s an alarming situation, both for the state of American democracy and the credibility of the Supreme Court. This morning, I want to explain how we got here:GOP senators by McConnell, stole a Supreme Court seat. Conservative operatives decided that adding a citizenship question to the census could help the GOP, and these operatives persuadedTrump WH to add the question; get lied about the reasons for adding it. Federal courts, citing these lies, ruled against the administration. SCOTUS agreed to hear an appeal, and the five conservatives signaled during oral arguments that they may be willing to accept the administration’s lies."
