The enormity of this decision for democracy everywhere. Not since 1215 have Western rulers been above the law. These aren’t analogies. This is the literal Return of the King, and the end of democracy. The reversal of the Magna Carta. /1 https://t.co/ys0HSKYhwT

It’s also the Supreme Court effectively rendering themselves void. The law is now nothing, it has no meaning. It came into being as a check on royal and executive power. If that power is unlimited, the law is dead. And the courts with it. /2

Without a State, there is no democracy. There’s just autocracies and theocracies. Kings. The ‘economy’s all-out assault on the State since the 1970s is reaching its apogee. That’s what we’re living right now. Where democratic States won’t fight pandemics, or climate change. /5

And restoring Kings with absolute power, above the law. Our ignorance of history has meant we’ve failed to see this pattern recurring, after more than 800 years. /end
