Huh? This is how it works everywhere. Do you think Americans are somehow different from our other humans. The court is "activist" or "partisan", until it makes decisions you agree with, even if this is a huge departure from president.
You're acting like it's absurd to question the legitimacy of a court that had the majority stolen using underhanded political tricks. This is not a constitutional body. In a way it never was, but it hasn't operated on sane or fair rules for some time.
The fact is that the authority of the court has been undermined by power hungry, treasonous republicans. It's fair to question the legitimacy of the illegitimate.
- junofan 3y agoDo you take issue with the legal reasoning delivered by the court? The facts of the case are pretty damning anyway. Harvard comes up with a tentative list of admitted students, then cuts based on just four factors: legacy, recruited athlete, financial aid status, and race.
