Musk is a walking posterboy for overturning #CitizensUnited decision

by Sabrina Haake

March 2, 2025

"CU, in short, allowed Musk to purchase his co-presidency. Musk is now gutting agencies that previously regulated his corporate conduct; soon there will be no gov't agency left to regulate pollution by Space X, or to audit Starlink in Ukraine, or to check Musk’s plans to expand X into an “everything app” for banking and financial services."

Raw Story · Musk is a walking posterboy for overturning a major Supreme Court decisionBy Sabrina Haake

This is it, this is the inflection point. This is what we all feared, and it's less than 4 months into his term. #Trump is asking the #SupremeCourt to make it legal for a #president to change the #constitution by #executiveorder. This is literally the single most important supreme court decision of our lifetime, and it's currently packed with stooges. My stomach hurts so fucking much right now. We're about to watch the worst #dictatorship in history emerge.

#Trump asked #SCOTUS to okay plan to end #BirthrightCitizenship

Trump asked the #SupremeCourt on Thurs to allow US ofcls to begin implementing a limited plan to end birthright #citizenship for #children born in the #UnitedStates to undocumented immigrants & visitors.

Judges in 3 states have issued nationwide orders blocking Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder, which #CivilRights groups & Democratic-led states say is clearly at odds w/the nation’s history & the #Constitution.

The Washington Post · Trump asks Supreme Court to okay partial plan to end birthright citizenshipBy Ann E. Marimow

Chief Justice John Roberts made rising threats against and violence toward judges a focus of his 2024 year-end report. The rule of law now feels vulnerable to intimidation, which could destabilize the U.S. government’s balance of powers. #SupremeCourt #violence #SCOTUS csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2025

The Road from ‘Citizens United’ to Trump, Musk & Corruption

A ‘naïve’ #SupremeCourt delivered lawless #greed & #cruelty. We’ll have to save ourselves, if we can.

"The court’s 5–4 #CitizensUnited decision, allowing unlimited corporate, interest-group, & individual spending on elections, did trigger dire predictions... But even the most pessimistic among them fell short of imagining #American reality today."
