Iran weapons scandal in the 1980s led to investigations, prosecutions, and convictions. The Presidents used to fear consequences. Now the Supreme Court says core presidential actions are immune. That is a very different system.

The Supreme Court said the Voting Rights Act was no longer needed. The numbers tell a very different story. Since Shelby County, racial turnout gaps have widened again, hitting 19 points in 2022 and 14 points in 2024. The proof is in the pudding. https://youtu.be/mmr2NKoJ5lc
What Al Franken was accused of was serious and widely condemned. But the timeline still raises questions. Three weeks from allegations to resignation. Pressure built fast, including from leaders like Chuck Schumer. When does accountability become urgency? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YakvGBwnCws
Most people remember Mueller for the Russia investigation. That’s only part of the story. The bigger impact is what happened after 9/11 and how the system changed. https://shanlonwu.substack.com/p/the-real-legacy-of-robert-mueller
The law is not a machine. Supreme Court decisions involve interpretation, judgment, and perspective. The criticism is about the decisions. Not the personalities. Full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTx8Uh9SJMw
The Supreme Court says its decisions are subject to scrutiny. What does that actually mean when there is no real enforcement and no oversight? There is a difference between personal attacks and holding the Court accountable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTx8Uh9SJMw
Jets. Yachts. Resorts. Now a $267K luxury RV reportedly financed for a Supreme Court justice. Clarence Thomas kept failing to disclose luxury benefits even after millions were exposed. The highest court in the U.S. is drowning in conflicts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFS7HXnxvog
SCOTUS ethics reform: Justices decide their own conflicts. They can ignore recusal if their vote is “needed.” The Court builds its own ethics software. And calls this accountability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFS7HXnxvog
DOJ attorneys are supposed to serve the American people, not the personal interests of a president. That is why this conflict of interest issue matters. If the DOJ cannot act independently from political power, public trust in the system collapses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEJfNFyK-g
An “ineptly worded” subpoena is not a small issue. That is the issue. If the wording is flawed, the risk of overreach is real. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO6bGdipHg #CivilLiberties #FirstAmendment
Markwayne Mullin keeps downplaying violence. A shove killed 84 year old Vicha Ratanapakdee. That is the reality. You do not need a hate crime charge to recognize what you are looking at. Stop minimizing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79LTF3aQID0
