Dear EmailNation Subscriber, The Supreme Court has been transformed from a fair and independent institution into a highly politicized Court where the 1% keeps winning and the 99% keeps losing. That's why we've devoted this week's special issue to "The One Percent Court." As the introduction states, "with partisan gridlock paralyzing the president and Congress, the Court has more than ever become 'the decider'--the most powerful branch of government, and one at the center of a controversy whose outcome may shape the course of democracy for generations to come." Bill Moyers and Bernard A. Weisberger have more. All best, Peter Rothberg, The Nation
