Has the Supreme Court Undermined Voting Rights? David Daley Explains | Amanpour and Company

[@annpringle8219]

They better read Project 2025 and vote Blue!!

[@sandraspidle5972]

All Americans should hold John Roberts accountable for his actions against them and their right to vote. What is being said here is unethical acts by a Supreme Court Justice John Roberts.

[@johntillotson4254]

Agreed

[@trevinbeattie4888]

The US Congress ultimately has the authority to hold Supreme Court justices accountable; the people need to elect senators _and_ representatives who will put court ethics above partisan power.

[@TommyStahr]

God will hold him & all the religious Reich accountable. 2Thess2:11 is here. The church is fallen. Trump is lawless. They believe THE LIE! Jesus is coming soon for this born-again gay stoner Jew while most Christians are left behind because of bigotry and idolatry. Turn off the world and turn on Jesus

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

And Barack Obama for allowing it to happen without a fight.

[@ibeetellingya5683]

When I heard Ronald Reagan say in his 1981 Inaugural Address that our government isn't the solution to America's problems, it WAS the problem, I worried we would end up with a Supreme Court hostile to Democracy and the Common Good. I've been watching this zig-zag downward for 43 years, and it's no where near done yet. 🇺🇲🥺

[@totostamopo]

Big AMEN to that. Now it's THE government...not OUR government. Folks throw up their hands and treat government workers like they aren't our neighbors and family members. They are. WE run this country. That language was corrosive and Reagan and then W ( sure we can waterboard folks) Bush led us directly to where we are now. Thanks so much for the comment. Quite insightful.

Expand the court. Choose well.

[@ronkirk5099]

Until we establish uniform federal standards for how states conduct elections that elect leaders to represent them in federal offices, we will continue to see these state dirty tricks to disenfranchise segments of the electorate. You want to send representatives to D.C. to represent your state at the federal level, you must play by federal rules to elect them. This is not unreasonable because this affects ALL of us no matter what state you live in.

[@lzrd8460]

Well said.

[@davidk1493]

Three of the justices were put on the court by a president who didn't win the popular vote and received only 26% of votes of those eligible to vote.

[@XenaphobeJoe-n1j]

Since Nixon

[@pjpredhomme7699]

@@XenaphobeJoe-n1j actually - after Nixon - it took on another level . Believe it or not Nixon was more principled than these people.

[@RG-bd5fy]

Yes they have and will continue. We need to change the rules of the SCOTUS.

Great Book. Everyone should read this!

[@Newton-Reuther]

In response to the title: YES! (And it has been that way for a while)

[@rui569]

I know little about Justice or Politics but this is too much too obvious and should be dealt with fast.

[@carolbulmer8253]

That interview was scary. I hope that the makeup of this SCOTUS can be reversed

[@lzrd8460]

🙏🙏🙏.

[@pjpredhomme7699]

seriously ? it can't - I do not understand why people did not realize this in 2016 . It is a complicated subject- honestly Ruth Bader Ginsberg bares plenty of responsibility but still how did people not realize how important that this was - I sure did - but honestly I underestimated HOW off the hook this federalist society/ Opus Dei group was willing to go - I never dreamed that they would be as blatantly corrupt / in broad daylight

[@geraldblackburn4883]

This is so Bass Ackwards it is INSANE ! ! !

[@thjbird]

Roberts knows exactly what he was doing

[@pjpredhomme7699]

Absolutely - it is the "cause" of his lifetime goes back to his time as a clerk

[@JD-xu2vr]

Nice to see this come out.

[@stephanierichardson5623]

Back in '94 I was a newly married, stay at home, first time mom, when a friend asked me if I would like to work from home with her for a powerful GOP congressman. I was a practicing Catholic who had decided to be a Republican because I wanted to "protect marriage" and wanted a GOP congress so interest rates would go down. That was my whole, laughable, philosophy. I worked for that congressman for 4 or so years, and by the time I was done I was scared to death of the evangelicals and a "liberal". He is not wrong Glad I stumbled over this because I'm pretty sure I got swept up into this stuff, briefly and feel fortunate that I exited the pipeline before it turned me into a Trump supporter.

[@grayisgood]

Really good interview, thanks.

[@margaretmagnuson6730]

Incredibly depressing…. Roberts is such a partisan hack.

[@Jbal8924]

Just ordered this book. Thanks - very important discussion

[@tomomalley-df3bq]

Kudos to Daley for his compiling of this scheme.

[@-Gramps]

Very enlightening; very frightening! Thanks for the analysis.

[@poetoishi]

The white men on the Court preside over 8 of the 13 U.S. circuits/districts: Roberts currently personally presides over 3, Kavanaugh over 2, Alito over 2, and Gorsuch over one. The African American man and the 4 women preside over 1 circuit each. It is high time the next Democratic president and Congress expand the Court to 13 so each Justice presides over 1 district, just like when the Court was expanded to 9 Justices once we had 9 districts.

[@rhmendelson]

Well that was depressing:(

[@peanutbutter3543]

I cannot wait to read his book ordered it earlier today

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

Expand the court before they take all of our rights.

[@stephensuddick2557]

Yes. The answer is yes.

[@angelaasadi9283]

Vote blue up and down the ticket. 💙💙

[@gamtngirl3655]

Thank you, David Daley for shining a light on this ugliness. I appreciate you so much, and all who pay attention.

[@Deraiil]

This interview, as good as it is, makes me sick. I am one of the Americans who hasn't paid attention to our politics, although I have never voted republican, and to actually hear and see how we've gotten here, makes me hate the republican party more than ever!!!

[@pjpredhomme7699]

they are truly evil

[@lzrd8460]

Excellent interview, thank you.

[@johntillotson4254]

It has and the SC is complicit

[@GaryBoren]

Is Roberts that bad? 11.51-12.19 …. Yes. Thank you, Amanpour and Company for setting up David Daley to do honest work!!! I think the entire argument would change if you could expose the Bible as being mythological, and somewhat, maybe unintentionally, insane and evil .😊

[@loricusenza4887]

A good understanding of the Bible shows that the Republican Party is not Christian. Neither are MAGA or Christian nationalists. Christian Nationalism is an idolatry of power and the state.

[@Belle-e5h]

Great work and news video! Let's all check our voting status BEFORE the election! I did just that yesterday and my absentee ballot is being mailed (my choice). There are deadlines in mid-September, so contact your state voting office early. It may be an extra step ... but you won't be devastated by being turned away on Election Day. 😁

[@BenSmith-mg5jv]

Uh yes duh!

[@HairyPinkTroll]

17:00 what happens if he doesn’t win (again)? Does the Supreme Court have any investment or influence on a different outcome?

[@pjpredhomme7699]

how old are you ? were you around in 2000 ? This court is light years - more partisan than that was - and they completely upended the law - and everything that they were supposed to stand for - by giving the election to Bush - imagine what a different world it would be had it not been for that - I find my self doing that often

[@waynemartinez7597]

Is called DEMOGRAPHICS AND THE SUPREME COURT. PERIOD

[@totostamopo]

If he said this, I didn't hear it but one of the reasons I believe the court has overreached is because Congress is failing to legislate. There's just a giant vacuum in the 3 branches and there's essentially only 2 now, heck, Congress can't even fund the government anymore. Just a thought.

[@artofmusic303]

We have to vote blue for the forseeable future if we are to ever reverse this damage to democracy. Both at the presidential level, where justices are appointed, and at the state level, where state governments get away with voter suppression.

[@yazminmartinez1382]

Put taxes the same fare for everyone. Make college and medical care free for citizens. Let families taking own decisions for their family grow.
