Monday will bring another July 4 celebration to a nation sorely divided. Not since the Civil War has the partisan divide been so stark. The investigation of the January 6 coup attempt was opposed not only by the tRumpists who participated in the violence, but also by most institutional Republicans who decided party over country was the way to go.
Perhaps no institution mirrors the dysfunction so much as the Supreme Court. From female body autonomy to fighting against climate change, the Court represents the yearning of a small minority of the country for the halcyon days of the patriarchy, when blacks knew their place, brown people picked vegetables and women and young people kept quiet.
Think about what kind of country you want on Monday. The scales hang in the balance and it could go either way.
