Everything I’m hearing from Justice Kavanaugh as reasoning in favor of this ruling sounds like racism, and racial profiling. This is very concerning to me. I would like to know what our recourse is for a Supreme Court that appears to pander to Trump and give him a looser reign for power so often…?

I agree with what you’re saying 💯! My question is where are the checks and balances in our government right now?

I’d love to see (every media person who interviews ACB for her new book) ASK her about this & hold her to account. She’s complicit. This timeline…😥🥺

This was SO SO helpful! Thank you so much for this. I think the entire country could benefit from hearing it.

And I'm so deeply troubled by the ruling and so discouraged how extremely political the Supreme Court has become. I honestly have lost all faith in it. It is so deeply broken and I so want to see some reform.

Thank you so very much pointing out so many important details and contradictions in Justice Kavanaugh’s words. Thank you for paying close attention to this institution, the United States Supreme Court, that should be unbiased in independent, but is not

OK, it’s never unbiased but this behavior is so unbalanced and selfish

It looks like Kavanaugh wrote his concurrence, because the unsigned opinion wasn’t clearly racist enough for him.

Thank you so much for this insightful conversation! I especially enjoyed the insights on specific words used and how the reasoning doesn’t align with prior opinions.

Thank you Sharon & Steve. Very informative & gives me hope that this won’t be permanent. I do hate how much money is being spent to allow this administration to enact their agenda via the court system.

In 2012 the Supreme Court struck down Arizona’s law SB1070. Does this ruling affect that ruling?
