John Roberts owns this nightmare; without him and his corrupt Republican co-conspirators against democracy on the Supreme Court we never would have had a reality star neofascist ascend to the highest office in the land.

And it’s getting worse daily.

On the morning of April 12, 2025, the North Carolina Supreme Court tried to quietly nullify the votes of over 5,000 Americans, many of them active-duty military and overseas citizens.

Four Republican justices attempted to throw out these ballots after the election, claiming they lacked photo ID, even though the state's own voting portal didn’t allow IDs to be uploaded. The goal? Overturn the narrow 734-vote victory of Democrat Allison Riggs over Republican Jefferson Griffin.

. . .

Justice John Paul Stevens saw it coming. In his Citizens United dissent, he wrote:

“The Court’s ruling threatens to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the Nation.”
