The Supreme Court is going to do unspeakably terrible things to workers if it remains in its current configuration. No employer liability for unsafe conditions, no remedies for discrimination, no right to speak out at work. Work is already a dictatorship. It& #39;s gonna get worse 1/

The thing is, it& #39;s not going to be enough to appoint a corporate liberal wing to undo this. Another Harvard dean or private firm partner won& #39;t have the guts to undo all this bad jurisprudence, which is rooted in nothing but greed & ideology. 2/

We need muscular progressives willing to challenge the foundations of American law -- namely that private property (& profits) trumps all: rights, liberties, speech, safety, life itself. That& #39;s not gonna happen with a Merrick Garland or even a couple workhouse judges. 3/

It& #39;ll take wholesale reform of lower courts, a generations-long commitment to filling judicial seats with public servants like public defenders, legal aid, & union lawyers, but also dejudicializing many areas of life and shifting power to democratic bodies. 4/

Courts can& #39;t be the last word on important issues. This is what conservatives want & why disempowering workers is so central to their vision of the world. The way out doesn& #39;t run around courts, but through them & to the other side, where we build better institutions
