AIPAC's pervasive influence in US politics raises serious concerns about the integrity of our democratic system. Let's work towards greater transparency and accountability to ensure that policymaking reflects the interests of all Americans, not just special interest groups. #DemocracyFirst #PoliticalAccountability

Unveiling the Fragility of Justice in America / The Struggle for Equality in America's Courts BROKEN JUSTICE: My book serves as a stark reminder that the EROSION of our justice system poses a significant THREAT to our DEMOCRACY, equal to the DETERIORATION of our political system. I argues that the court system is more susceptible to INFLUENCE than we might think, and that the notion of EQUAL JUSTICE for all is, regrettably, a MYTH. This critique of the system is not an attack on the nation, but rather a form of PATRIOTISM, seeking to hold the system ACCOUNTABLE and advocate for LEGISLATIVE CHANGES.

Let us appoint judges to the court, based on their KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW, THEIR FITNESS FOR THE POSITION AND THEIR FAIRNESS. Let us stray away from appointing judges to the court based on THEIR IDEOLOGY ALONE.

Over the next few weeks, @PolicyLink experts and guest partners will share enlightening insights in thought-provoking articles presented by the @Stanford Social Innovation Review.    "We, the Nation: Governing for All," by PolicyLink’s Managing Director, Judith Dangerfield, explores the idea of a future where equal protection is at the core of our governance, laws reflect our values, and enforcement ensures justice for all. For over half a century, we've witnessed a democracy shackled by stagnation, partisan deadlock, and an inconsistent Supreme Court. It's time for change. We're not just defending democracy; we're founding a truly multiracial democracy that serves all. #GoverningForAll #MultiracialDemocracy https://lnkd.in/g4VBhqjr

New Episode: https://lnkd.in/g6qSrc8Q As we count down to the release of the limited series After America, we are revisiting some past episodes of Deep Dive to help lay the groundwork for this important project that will attempt to answer the question - What would it actually look like if American democracy were to fail? ------------- As the gears of our democracy grind toward the 2024 election, the shadow of authoritarianism looms ever larger. Dr. Sara Benesh discusses the Supreme Court's seismic shift to the right and its implications for our nation, and the need for transparency in our judiciary. Together, we peel back the layers of crucial decisions that are reshaping our society and spotlight the ethical conundrums that question the very underpinnings of our democracy. Dare to question the substance behind the Supreme Court's adherence to originalism. Through the lens of the Dobbs decision, we scrutinize whether this philosophy serves justice or justifies preconceived ideologies. Justice Alito's comments on legitimacy and the contentious association of Justice Thomas's wife with the January 6th events are put under the microscope. The episode probes the court's treatment of established norms, voting rights through an originalist view, and parallels with past presidential behaviors that flout institutional norms, painting a picture of a judiciary at a pivotal crossroads. Lastly, we dissect the Supreme Court's latest cases, from Moore v. Harper's potential to redefine election integrity, to the clash of free speech and anti-discrimination in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. Unpacking the shadow docket's influence on voting rights and redistricting, we confront California's Proposition 12 and its nationwide ripple effects. Ending on a note of apprehension, I share my fears for precedents that safeguard students of color and the sanctity of future elections. #democracy #authoritarianism #scotus #alito #clarencethomas #robertscourt #scotus #supremecourt #afteramerica #deepdivewithshawn #election2024 #trump #gop #maga #republicans #abortion #roevwade #dobbs #affirmativeaction #gayrights #queerrights #insurrection #jan6
