Supreme Court Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted

E.J. Dionne, at the Washington Post, has written an astute but scathing Op-Ed about our current Supreme Court that accuses the court seeing "its central task as comforting the already comfortable and afflicting those already afflicted."  Here's another verifiable observation and memorable quote:

Nonetheless, pay heed to how this conservative court majority bristles at nearly every effort to give the less wealthy and less powerful an opportunity to prevail, whether at the ballot box or in the courtroom. Not since the Gilded Age has a Supreme Court been so determined to strengthen the hand of corporations and the wealthy.
