FRIDAY RECAP: JUly 8, 2022
This week, Indivisible Oregon prioritized three issues:
THE SUPREME COURT’S CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST CAMPAIGN
2. THE AUDACIOUS SUPREME COURT GRABS NEW AUTHORITY
3. SCOTUS IS USING THE CONSTITUTION TO REINFORCE WHITE SUPREMACY, PATRIARCHY, AND HETERONOMATIVITY
The far-right — a combination of the MAGA rabble, the extreme Christian Right, and billionaires — this week celebrated their capture of the Supreme Court. A stunning series of SCOTUS decisions announced that, after failing to win the Congress and White House, the extremists on the far right now have six of nine votes on the high court. Despite testimony during confirmation, the runaway Justices revealed they were not going to be bound by precedent nor the Constitution in its rush to remake America.
Elections have consequences—which makes the upcoming midterms extremely important. Electing the right people will enable Congress to fight the New America being imposed by the nation’s Supreme Court.
They also require additional calls. So, pick up your phone, click on one or more of the chosen links below, and push for a government that works for all Americans.
