Last week, to the world’s disbelief, America suffered heinous Supreme Court injustice.
The conservative majority of the American Supreme Court let down America on two major issues: gun control and abortion rights. Two dubious, politically motivated rulings that will ultimately make more victims; dangerous clandestine abortions will flourish, and mass shootings will endure. The blood of all these future victims will remain forever on the hands of the legislators who promulgated those abhorrent rulings.
The fundamental right of a woman to make personal (often painful) choices about her own body has been taken away and will negatively impact thousands of (mainly poor) women. This is an odiously unfair decision, mainly condoned by fossilized chauvinist males, and should be revoked as soon as possible. The sooner the better.
Trump, the maleficent puppet master who engineered this affair bragged about it and naturally took credit for these developments. His name which is already mud to many, will certainly turn into poop and leave his portly body reeking for eternity. Even hell won’t be able to remove that stink.
Now, about the hallowed Second Amendment. God did not hand down the Constitution to America, and there is absolutely nothing that prevents legislators from modifying its context. In view of recent mass shootings, most everybody agrees that it should be done, but the will of big anonymous donors still prevails.
Despite some publicity, nothing significant has been changed about gun control. Just a few band-aids ignoring the elephant in the room: the murderous automatic assault rifle.
Almost anybody in America is still allowed to buy those killing machines, and enough ammunition to mow down an entire school.
Where is common sense?
To the glee of Vladimir Putin (Public Enemy No1), these highly controversial rulings will increase social unrest throughout America and make it easier for Extremists to take over an already frail democracy.
Shame, shame to a partial, tainted Supreme Court that ignored justice and popular will.
