How Democratic is our Democracy? How the Supreme Court is Stacked against the Nation's Majority

Over the past 30 years, Democratic candidates have won the popular vole in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections. Yet 6 of the 9 Supreme Court justices are pro-Republican conservatives. Now the Supreme Court is set to decide on cases that affect the whole country in a big way: gender equality, reproductive rights, so-called Obamacare health law, and voting rights. Just consider that Brett Kavanaugh, whose ratification was railroaded through congress in spite of hard evidence involving his immoral past conduct, is reason enough to doubt the court’s legitimacy. One wonders why the Democratic Party leadership has allowed this to happen.
