"The United States is less democratic, less self-governing, more dysfunctional, and more corrupt than it was 20 years ago, thanks in large part to the Supreme Court’s rulings."
For our October issue I wrote about the Roberts Court for its 20th anniversary, how it helped lead us to the current crisis, and what should be done about it:
The Roberts Court Is Winning Its War on American Democracy
Chief Justice John Roberts has now overseen 20 years of increasingly illiberal rulings by the Supreme Court.

Dr. Pufflesteen's Monster: the most capable CMOS overdrive I'm aware of. Expanding on the Dr. Pufflesteen w/ presence and boost controls. Natural-feeling overdrive, warm upper harmonics. A finger-picking dream also does serious gain, and possibly that Special Sauce for your solid-state amp.
