this is a distraction to placate right winged idiots. if i toss a bomb into a kindergarten class so i can rob a bank next door it's still a distraction even if the kids die.
my top priority for the scotus would be campaign finance reform, as its clear congress wont police itself. although im not sure at all what angle would need to be taken to accomplish it. women are indeed becoming 2nd class citizens, and so are all workers. we're staring down hundreds of millions of people losing their livelihood and we're worried about abortion becoming a state's right's issue. i'll vote against pro lifers in my state should it come to that, but no matter who i vote for i know they'll send all our jobs to china or a robot with a smile on their face for their fortune 500 overlords.
campaign finance reform is indeed THE central issue, as everything is connected with it - but it's also something that scotus, especially in its current constellation, would never side with the people on - refer to my previous post (not that the democratic establishment was any better on the issue).
yes, for your ECONOMY, automation and the inability to compete with a nation of 1.4 billion low wage drones on the labour market (no shit?!), might be the bigger issue, but again, there's literally nothing the scotus can do to change that. the existence of economically even more impactful problems doesn't make the conservatives' all out attack on women, minorities, and poor people a mere distraction. textbook relative privation fallacy.
