The Supreme Court overturn of Roe vs Wade, after fifty years of precedent, and also affirmative action, are just warm-ups for the real target.  I predict the Supreme Court will move to overturn its prime target, the Emancipation Proclamation. The case will be brought by the descendants of slave owners, Of course, the Court will overturn the proclamation. They will rule that President Lincoln did not have the authority and he needed  majority votes from the Congress and the Senate.

Now, descendants of slaves, were slaves too, unless they were legally freed. So, this overturn means that present descendants of slaves are now slaves too. Descendants of slave owners will become slave owners. Instead of reparations, these new slave owners will demand re-imbursement from the federal government  for their lost slaves. They will also use genealogy to try to track and recover lost slaves. Fortunately for me, I am from Jamaica, so I was freed legally, not by Lincoln proclamation. Slave owners will be coming out of the woodwork in great numbers to claim slaves. These reimbursements will cost the federal government such a vast amount, they might have to dip into the military budget! Of course, since slaves do not have voting rights, the black vote in America will become insignificant.

Trump will be re-elected again. Correction – Trump will become president again, but not by re-election. Thanks to the Supreme Court, he will achieve this by replacing legal electors by ones of his choice and, also by obtaining majorities in Georgia and Arizona by “missing” votes provided by the Republican Secretary of State in those states. His first action, just as he withdrew in his first term from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Iran Nuclear Treaty, he will also withdraw America from the many treaties with the indigenous people of America.

Trump will be jubilant. Republicans will be jubilant. The Supreme Court will be jubilant, especially knowing that they have gained more political power than politicians and the people. I guess this is what Trump means by “Make America great again”.
