No the Supreme Court don't care and will now do whatever the Republicans want and heaven help those who are going to be impacted by their decision.Meh. We don't have to liberate ourselves from the past. We have to learn from it. Learn from it's successes and its flaws, and continue to move forward in positive ways from it. We've known this & have been doing this ever since the Constitution was written, particularly notably since the Civil Rights Act. We don't have to cast the past as something to be severed or as something to be venerated. It is the past. It is what helped us progress & led us here. For example, it would be extremely wise of the Supreme Court to take heed of the flaws within the States' Rights movement of the past & where that movement led the country. There are many many different time periods & different forms of legislation that can enlighten us on our steps forward. We cannot limit our ability to learn to one particular point in time.
Interestingly I had a friend who suggested to me that the US should just split itself into two (aligned with Red and Blue states). He wasn't aware that the Blue states financially support the Red states. So that really ain't an option.
