Border War At The Supreme Court

 Even as Donald Trump’s tyrannical agenda threatens the foundation of our democracy, the conservative, more accurately the radical majority of the Supreme Court is mounting an equally destructive assault on our basic form of government.

The United States, for centuries, has been the world’s exemplar of a democratic republic insured by a written constitution. Though comprised of individual states, the nation functions as a cohesive whole by application of the doctrine of federalism which makes the Constitution and the laws passed by Congress the supreme law of the land.
Now, the majority of Supreme Court justices seem poised to discard that time tested  and historically honored form of government and, instead, empower individual states to choose their own course, unencumbered by constitutional restraints and in defiance of federal law. If those justices achieve that end, the nation will disintegrate into 50 disparate and alienated jurisdictions, individual liberties will be left to the mercy of hostile local majorities and the dream of America will dissolve in chaos.
