If the conservatives on Scotus attempt to give the election to Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden still wins we must add two seats to the Court in order to protect our democracy. The judiciary is no longer the least dangerous branch. nytimes.com/2020/10/28/opi…

SCOTUS plans to overturn Roe because there's no right to abortion in the Constitution? Are other rights vulnerable?What about the recently created corporate right of free speech? Oh, that's staying? Takeaway: Dobbs is nothing but a power play by a politicized Court.
