The Supreme Court That Empowered Donald Trump Won't Save Democracy -- Only Voters Can

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : That distrust is justified: If nothing else, the Court's actions in the past year alone have only made it clearer that a majority of the justices, three of whom Trump installed, don't so much view him as a threat to free and fair elections -- let alone the mastermind who engineered a scheme that relied on "deceit to target every stage of the electoral process," as special counsel Jack Smith wrote in a filing last month, framing his criminal case against the ex-president.
33% : "In a case like this one," Roberts wrote in his widely derided opinion cloaking Trump in broad immunity from prosecution, "focusing on 'transient results' may have profound consequences for the separation of powers and for the future of our Republic.
24% : But that future is now: As Trump openly boasts that he and House Speaker Mike Johnson have a "little secret" pertaining to the election, whatever that means, and as some of the loudest voices in Trumpworld flood the zone with falsities and misdirection about the election, voters and their communities would be wise to do their civic duty, brace for the worst, and hope our institutions hold.
24% : In Pennsylvania, where a critical case is still pending resolution by the justices, Trump and those around him are worrying election officials with unproven claims that fraud is already rampant.
