Fuck the Republican controlled scouts. May they all stub their toes and fall into a volcano. Literally the worst court since the dread Scott era. Will be remembered as illegitimate and terrible.
This is like the fifth loss for Trump today alone
Is it my imagination, or are a lot of higher courts going against what Trump wants lately?
They expanded his power over like the ftc recently so expect more corrupt bullshit.
The way I see it, the Supreme Court isn’t working for or against the current president, rather, they’re working to turn the presidency into something more like a kingship. They’re focused on what comes after him. That does look like working in the president’s interest pretty often, but when the president is looking for something that’s specifically about him (and not the presidency in general), they’re less interested.
It is unfortunately your imagination a little bit.
They are for the stuff that doesn’t really matter to case law. Then gutting the constitution in broad daylight while tossing out personal defeat breadcrumbs.
So look, this SCOTUS is a piece of shit SCOTUS that subscribes to some bad judicial philosophies that are simultaneously ivory tower unrealistic and lazy and magically inure to the benefit of these currently in power. That last part is why the Republicans love them.
That said, that all came up feeling like they were honest mediators of a complex system, and that they’re trying to bring systemic thinking to a messy body of case law. Trump didn’t have the political capital in his first term to pick true loyalists and sycophants like some of the incompetent nonentities he appointed to lower courts. He had promised to pick from the Federalist Society’s list, so he did.
Because of that, Trump only gets what he wants the 80-ish percent of the time his (generally rather weak) legal staffs can come up with a halfway cogent argument that works with the reflexive and regressive “originalist” and “textualist” frameworks the conservative majority fancies themselves to be following logically. The other twenty percent, it’s just so obviously an unconstitutional power grab that they can’t even get this court to agree to it. Meanwhile of course, the administration has been doing whatever it wants, but that’s a slightly different issue.
I’m surprised they didn’t put her in jail.
She’s white.
Yes but she’s also an enemy of dear leader.
Apparently she’s his Kryptonite lol
