The US Supreme Court Thread - Post Roe v. Wade reversal edition

Like the tweet said a while back, they tell you what to do, you don't tell them what to do is the core philosophy. They can use the congress to enact legislation to push through their policies and back it up with the courts. If they don't like a rule for a lib Congress, they use the courts to fight it.

 

I hope SCOTUS is watching Israel right now.

 

Interestingly it seems like part of the reason that BB-ites & allies want to control the Israeli SC is Hasidim don't want compulsory military service or have to conform to non discrimination laws since they separate men & women. Hell, they do that in Lakewood & Kiryas Joel with their separate school busing.

As with right-wing politics everywhere, they are ramming through antimajoritarian policies, radicalised by bullshit.

 

… and talking about the ‘Mob’ that’s who the mob think of themselves.

They call themselves the Five Families. Here’s a guide to how each family may (or may not) foul up negotiations on the debt limit.

That's what civilized people all over the world think of conservatives.

 

I read who the leaders of the 5 groups are and they are all variations of Fredo

 

I think more of the 3 Stooges or Keystone Cops. But these eejits have far more power to destroy.

 

I wonder if this will be the case that SCOTUS rules part of the constitution unconstitutional

Even if this did come to pass, any effort to oppose interstate extradition would fail legally. The Constitution, federal law, and prior cases make this clear. https://t.co/v9qBGDlrqy

…..no….I don’t really think that would happen. But I’m very close to betting a billion internet dollars that if an extradition appeal went to scotus….this wouldn’t be unanimous at the very least.

 

Exactly. Precedent and the constitution became more like... guidelines....




Arrrrgh...

 

I never thought of this as the Dread Pirate Roberts' Court until now...

 

It’s not too often that a news article makes me stop, reflect, and reconsider my opinions and worldview about a particular subject. This article really hit home. Rethinking everything now.

Many of Brett Kavanaugh’s critics, even on the left, have been impressed with the legal acumen he’s displayed as the Court’s unquestioned intellectual heavyweight https://t.co/fvxuhst4Oi

That's funny, even today.

 

Oh, it's still April Fools.

I was confused there for a second.

 

Now?
He has been doing this for years.

 

He & Ginny are such a bribeable couple. Some of his opinions sound like they're written by WingnutChatGPI. You can almost understand DC "power couples" like the McConnells, although that is plenty shady too. But the Thomas's are next level super grifters.

 

I am shocked to learn that Thomas may not be an ethical jurist. Just shocked.

 

With our 3 branches of government participants in crony capitalism, the usual norms of behavior are incapable of stopping it. Sheeit, even Barney Frank joined Signature Bank's board. Synopsis - it was a moneygrab because the way he Congress'd didn't make him all that wealthy.

Thinking back to when Scalia was on the court and Clarence never said a word, he strikes me as the best example of the old saying, 'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt'.

 

I think he has gone years without commenting from the bench. I get his concrete Winngut brain isn't gonna be persuaded by logical arguments. But his owners must want him to at least fake it sometimes for a liddle window dressing.

 

She slept with a Black man just to have a husband- there ain't shit she won't do. Of course, she has to make up for that by being extra conservative in other aspects of her life

 

The never ending vacays of Clarence and Gini.

 

Ol' Clarence opines on what it would take for a Native American to be named as a SC justice "well if they would just stop playing the victim card and pull themselves up by their own moccasin straps, they'd get there. OK, so let's get back to why you had me here. What can brown can do for you? HAR-HAR!"
