If Donald Trump becomes president again, we can’t count on Justices Alito and Thomas to curb his authoritarian plans.
In one of them, a star NFL quarterback kneels during the singing of the national anthem. The reason? To call attention to the true, real plight of Black Americans whose lives seem not to matter as much as white ones — part of the unfinished business of American democracy. For this, he is booed, vilified, and effectively banned from the NFL. He never works as a quarterback again., that the 2020 election was stolen, to protest the peaceful transition of power that was about to take place.
For a traditional conservative, such actions run afoul of deeply held beliefs in limited government. But for a far-right MAGA populist, they are necessary to ‘save America,’ fight the globalist elites, and so on. If Donald Trump does become president again, will Justices Alito and Thomas do anything to curb his authoritarian plans?
Even if Trump doesn’t win this November, the authoritarian leanings of Alito and Thomas are already impacting important Supreme Court cases about the extent of Trump’s power. Right now, the court is considering whether Trump isfrom being prosecuted for criminal acts he may have committed while in office , and if the Jan. 6 cases ever progress, they will likely be asked to rule on them too. Not to mention the bevy of challenges to the 2024 election that will be filed if Trump does lose.
The court has long since lost its 20th century role as guardian of civil liberties — indeed, that period in the court’s history is now regularly derided as an aberration of “judicial activism” by conservatives. Now it is in danger of losing its stature as part of our democratic system.
