Wow US,
WTF are you doing.
You were founded on the idea that no one is above the law. That’s why you tossed aside the monarchy.
Sounds like the wrong party has been hoarding weapons.
Jesus, this is bleak. In a week they’ve straight-up legalized giving gifts to officials as an overt gratuity and declared Presidents immune from the law.
Part of me wants to see the current President take advantage of this moment to forcibly install a Court that will quickly overturn these decisions and return us to sanity.
They literally ruled that interested parties can pay a gratituity to officials and politicians, so long as the official act they’re paying for occurs before payment.
That’s not some pessimistic reading of the case. It’s not subtle at all in it’s intention to legalize bribery at the federal level.
The case at hand was a mayor that gave a contract to a waste disposal company worth about a million dollars overtly in exchange for them paying him $15,000 after the contract was awarded.
He was prosecuted for official corruption and bribery, and the Supreme Court threw it out because he was paid after the corrupt act and not before.
Same as average Germans in 1900 or 1930; just barely scraping by or worse, with not actual representation in the decisions being made by traitors behind closed doors.
We will be hated and abused just as much as anyone. I hope the coming shift in relevant world powers will do a better job. This will soon be the new Italian peninsula of Rome. People are too stupid here to realize that the emperors of Rome were due to the consolidation of wealth. It resulted in massive civil wars and the eventual export of all Roman wealth to Constantinople. The USA will be the Italian peninsula of the late Roman era.
It’s fine. We have an 81-year-old who jumps from his strongest issue — abortion — to his weakest issue — immigration mid-sentence who will save us from this downward spiral into fascism.
I’m told <checks notes> that this is the best we’ve got.
We are in the midst of a decades long coup.
Nobody gives a shit because people no longer have the ability to percieve things happening at that time scale.
This been in the making for last 50 years. It finally coming to frustrations.
This been in the making for last 50 years.
Corporate America has been trying to make this a fascist country since the 1930s.
In the interest of national security against threats foreign and domestic Biden should deport the conservative justices and the orange turd to Antarctica.
Nominate the six judges to lower court positions
The constitution only says that being a federal judge is permanent, not necessarily being a justice.
I think this would absolutely be the play to burn the bridges with the obstruction caucus among the senate dems, just hit them with the full weight of that bully pulpit devil may care.
These judges have gone rogue and it is absolutely worth making Joe Manchin mad to remind the courts they’re servants of the people.
It would go to the Supreme Court to rule whether that is a legit thing to do 😭
“John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”
Marbury v Madison is how the courts gave themselves the right of judicial review, and everyone just kinda agreed. And they just gutted separated powers.
The Robert’s court has destroyed its legitimacy, both in opinion and ethics. It’s time to clean house, and fix the top court.
Impeach Thomas for undue influence and seditious activity. Same for Alito. Boof for perjury, not sure what to do with Gorsuch and The Handmaiden yet.
Innocent until proven guilty; if Gorsuch and Barrett suck but haven’t done anything objectively, legally wrong then we need to give them a pass for now. Otherwise, it delegitimizes the very legitimate cases against Thomas and Alito. I think Kavanaugh has worse skeletons than perjury to go after. He had mountains of debt that conveniently vanished right around the time he was nominated, and I can’t definitively say that that’s evidence that he was bought and paid for but I can tell you that if he were bought and paid for that this is one of only a few avenues that it would happen through. He absolutely should not have been confirmed and there should’ve already been an investigation into whether he’s beholden to anybody due to financial insecurity. It’s why you get a credit check in addition to a background check before you can have any kind of security clearance. After all, we wouldn’t want to have anybody stealing and selling classified documents and national security secrets, would we? 🙃
Yeah. Barrett has been only real terrible, not the ultra-terrible i expected. Gorsuch’s seat is stolen, but I guess that’s not his fault as such. Let’s go with the plan as-stated.
How’s that trebuchet-into-the-sun going? That ready yet?
