With Fear I Dissent T-Shirt Natural / S
Limited stock
Brought to you by our favorite constitutional law professors– Leah Litman, Kate Shaw, and Melissa Murray– the hosts of Strict Scrutiny. SCOTUS seems to think having Trump as a monarch sounds great, and to that we say, “no f*cking way.” Or, as Justice Sotomayor put it, “with fear for our democracy, I dissent.” Show that you’re mad as hell about the highest court’s recent decisions taking away power from government agencies and giving the president permission to authorize a coup (yes, really). With a quote taken from Sotomayor’s dissent to the court’s terrifying presidential immunity decision, this tee shows where you stand loud and clear. The Crooked Store gives back with every order to support organizations doing incredible work across the US to make sure every voice can be heard. 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton This item is made to order and may take up to 10 business days to process in addition to transit time.

Elite Strike Force T-Shirt Denim Blue / S

Taken from a phrase in the January 6th indictment, Elite Strike Force Legal Team is what Strict Scrutiny hosts like to call the Supreme Court when they’re doing the bidding of Republican interests.
