Scalia vs. USA
The
death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia provides a great
opportunity for America. Many of his decisions have been in favor of
the right-wing Republicans and against the best interest of the
American people, democracy, and more recently, the planet.
Begin
with the decision to appoint George W. Bush president by stopping the
recount in Florida when thousands of votes were never even counted
and 500,000 more people voted for Gore. That is not democracy.
The
Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision to allow corporations and
individuals to buy elections and candidates is contrary to any
democratic principle. The Koch brothers are planning to spend more
than $300 million in support of their Republican candidates. That is
not democracy.
