Supreme Corp's Handmaid's Tale ruling

CA had a pandemic health and safety law that restricted in-home gatherings to no more that three different families. So in this decision the Corp ruled 5-4 that it infringes on religious liberty and struck it down. And they did so in their 'shadow docket,' which means there were no briefs, the case wasn't argued, it was not on the regular calendar and there was no signed opinion.

Once again this Handmaid's Tale of a Corp favors so-called religious freedom over actual public safety and health. As usual, the religious are entitled to sacrifice human lives for their beliefs much like most of their history. After all, if they die they're going to heaven so who cares about this life on Satan's hell of a planet. 

This is exactly why the Democrats must increase the number of Justices on the Corp to 13 and install sane ones thereon. They've introduced legislation in the House to do just that. Now we must apply the utmost pressure for it to pass there and then in the Senate. The same pressure must be applied to Biden, for to date he's been against the idea and his commission to 'study' the matter means little to nothing. We simply cannot continue down this path to the Handmaid's Tale and the Democrats must fight it tooth and nail every inch of the way. I am not exaggerating to once again state the obvious: Democracy is at stake.
