SCOTUS just upheld the civil rights of millions of disabled and aging people

www.motherjones.com SCOTUS just upheld the civil rights of millions of disabled and aging people

It’s the court’s biggest disability rights ruling in years.

So, I don't understand how getting federal funds through anything, but especially medicare would make you immune to lawsuits? What a crazy legal opinion to start with - glad to see that made it to the right decision on the court.

However, the later reference to "the spending power" - are they implying Thomas is going to try and declare medicare unconstitutional? I used to think that sort of thing would get people to vote against republicans, but at this point I think many voters would vote for getting kicked out of their own houses and shot if it was team red. IDK.

  • first I've heard tell of it. I'll look to the death panel podcast to explain what this is really about. they always nail whats really going on with u.s. complicated disability institutions.

    if it is a notable decision like you day i also look forward to hearing it on the 5-4 podcast.
