We are witnessing a judicial coup in process.
If the President and Congress do not restrain the Court now, the Court is signaling they will come for the Presidential election next.
All our leaders - regardless of party - must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is.
Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.
Let’s start w/ why:
- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years
- 1 of those seats was stolen
- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…
“Republicans are willing to pay a political price to ban abortion,” @jbarro writes. “It's up to Democrats to make them pay it.”

The issue is money in politics.
They’re allowing children to die because of the gun lobby.
They’re allowing the planet to die because of Big Oil.
They’re allowing people to go without healthcare and die because of the insurance lobby.
Inaction is bought.
Very honored to welcome ultrasound educator & guru @RubbleEM from @Yale_EM@Yale_EUS as our #CLErising speaker! We loved learning from her expertise in echo-guided CPR & ACLS. Great case-based discussion on how #pocus in cardiac arrest can help guide & change management! #EMconf
@drjgutt Local workflow involves EMR order that populates patient info on the ultrasound machine worklist. Based on triage note if there's any chance I'll want to scan I enter POCUS order when I sign up for the patient. Can do the reverse but takes longer and requires manual data entry.
