The Corruptible ACB

Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett might overturn Roe v. Wade. If that happens, it will be a seismic shift in American culture. But until that happens, speculation on the fate of Roe v. Wade is a distraction, a shiny object to keep your attention focused away from the day in, day out business of the US Supreme Court.

Before ACB weighs in on a major challenge to women’s rights, she will vote on hundreds of other decisions, decisions to benefit corporations, to protect polluters, to limit voting rights.

The conservative justices on the court were selected by and sponsored by deep pocketed donors, donors who want their taxes to be low, their businesses to be unregulated, and who want to maintain their ability to bend government policy to their will. And those justices have proven to be extremely loyal, ruling in the interest of their wealthy benefactors at nearly every opportunity.

So, whether Roe v. Wade stands or falls, be assured that justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett will be working overtime, grant their corporate benefactors every benefit and fulfilling their every desire, regardless of the damage these corrupt, partisan decisions do to the law, the Constitution, to Planet Earth, and to the taxpaying citizens of the United States Of America.
