Special Episode 3: Ignoring Illegitimate Court Decisions

Queer PoliFaith

Tonight, we have a special epsiode about what President Biden should do when a court makes an illegitimate decision, as happened last week in Texas. I have been making this argument for some time (as have others) and it is nice to see more people realizing that something has to be done.

We talk about how the courts get their power, why there is a legitimacy crisis, what the President should do, and answer the main objection to taking the steps that are needed.

There are a lot of links here, but I wanted to provide more background and info. All of the articles are from Slate or Vox, which are two highly trustworthy news sources.
