cabal
conspiratorial group of plotters;
While a “cabal” is usually seen as “secret”, in this case it is “UNDERSTOOD” as an “open secret” between the far right extremists on the SC and the far right extremists who control most red state legislatures. Here’s how it works: it is UNDERSTOOD by the red state legislators that if they are unable to pass a particular bill because perhaps a federal law stands in the way, that if they will bring it into the courts by filing a lawsuit challenging the federal law, that within a year or two the far right Supreme Court will take up that lawsuit.and reverse or override the federal law in the name of “state’s rights” and thereby allow the red state legislatures to pass the law that they originally wanted. In other words, the far right members of both the SC and the red state legislatures fully understand, without actually stating It out loud, that “the fix is in”.
It has been gradually gaining steam over the years by, for instance, clamping down on unions, and in numerous other cases, but it’s now completely out in the open with the overturning of Roe. Red state Attorneys General filed numerous lawsuits hoping to get one to the SC with an understanding that it would give the far right justices a chance to overturn Roe, even though the great majority of Americans were against doing so. Democracy be damned, full speed ahead in creating a right wing paradise through the cabal of far right SC “justices” and far right state legislatures.
And they are far from over. The red state legislatures are rushing to pretty much destroy democracy by moving the power to select presidential electors from the majority of voters in their state and into their own red state legislatures, knowing that the far right SC will eventually back them up, democracy be damned. Never again will we see a Democratic president, no matter the nationwide popular vote or the popular vote within a red state. The far right cabal intends to put a final nail into American democracy.
