The 13th through 15th amendments have existed for a century & a half, & they haven’t functioned in the intended manner for a majority of that time. The fault, at various times, of SCOTUS, Congress, states, & the Klan.
But the Court is the original sinner

This. The Supreme Court has declared war on the Reconstruction Amendments. It's either fight back now or live what will probably be the rest of our lives without them functioning in the manner they were intended to.

Last time Congress messed with the number of SCOTUS seats wasn’t over mundane policy disputes in normal cases. It was to defend Reconstruction, the settlement of a literal civil war, from any Johnson appointments.
It’s not flippant hyperbole when we describe the post-Trump agenda as Reconstruction.
