Monday, the Supreme Court gets back to work.
This term is not about conservatives v. liberals. Liberals are not allowed to have cases anymore. This term is conservatives v. nihilists.

Wing wing Christian fundamentalists have figured out how to game to judicial system in order to put their inane and shambolic legal theories in front of the specific MAGA judges who like them.
And there are no rules to stop them.

The seat won by Democrat Morgan LaMantia was the only competitive state Senate seat left after redistricting.
