Incredibly, public regard for the Supreme Court remains high relative to Congress and the presidency. It’s past time for small d democratic to mount a coordinated scorched earth campaign that attacks this Court’s credibility.
Everything this regime has done should be reversed. Why should any of the decisions be respected as none were made in good faith? We would be stupid to honor them just because they were made.
It seems the current problem regarding Trump's attempt to obstruct mail-in voting was manufactured primarily by the current SCOTUS majority. Trump's current violations of our Constitution follow the path the SCOTUS majority previously blazed for him with their lies in Trump v. Anderson.
SCOTUS justices outright lied (twice) when they misrepresented that “federal officers” de facto and de jure somehow “owe their existence and functions to the united voice of the whole, not of a portion, of the people” and “powers over their election and qualifications must be specifically ‘delegated to, rather than reserved by, the States.’ ”
Now, however, to purport to prove that states lack standing, the SCOTUS majority acknowledged that they knew all along about "States’ authority to 'create and enforce a legal code’ for elections.” How was that power more "specifically delegated" to states in our Constitution than the power to enforce Section 3 of Amendment XIV? Regarding Trump v. Anderson, even the SCOTUS majority repeatedly emphasized that Amendment XIV was aimed directly at governing state powers. Amendment XIV Section 3 (and other provisions of our Constitution) merely state standards that our public servants at the state level, as well as at the federal level, can and must apply to disqualify certain potential candidates. Article VI also emphasized that all state (and federal) legislators and executive and judicial officers must take all action that is necessary and proper "to support this Constitution."
SCOTUS justices further highlighted their deceit in Trump v. Anderson and Trump v. United States with the following in yesterday's opinion: "Article III prohibits federal courts from stacking hypothetical on hypothetical to speculate that harm will eventually materialize," so a plaintiff “cannot manufacture standing merely by inflicting harm on themselves based on their fears of hypothetical future harm that is not certainly impending.” But everything the majority did in Trump v. Anderson and Trump v. United States (and everything they deceitfully pretended to have the power to allow Trump to do) was based on the foregoing.
How much money do we think it would cost blue states to bypass the USPS for election ballots?Is the USPS the only option? Sure, its convenient but then if we have to spend a trillion-plus bombing Iran and fighting our allies, hundreds of billions on tariff taxes, sink ungodly amounts into corrupt leeches and eat the seed corn of our future economic and climate lives, whats a few billion for hand-delivery and pick-up of ballots?
Can we pay the Trump Organization a bribe to get around this?
Numerous state audits, bipartisan election officials, and dozens of state and federal court rulings found no evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. No one wants the truth in the GOP. They want the lie.
It is way too easy to see the corruption in these decisions. The RED judges are all on the take. The lisckspittles do what they are told and go home to their mansions after work. If our democracy were functioning, we'd have impeached Thomas, Alito, and Roberts by now - Trump too. Instead, we are living in the worst chapter in American history.
I wonder if Trump-Epstein has something on Roberts: I know he's a bigot who wants Black people to not have the franchise; but why would he work SO HARD against our Constitution on everything ELSE unless he was being blackmailed? Or is he JUST that much of an unethical, anti-American piece of 💩?
As I wrote Roberts directly, he's vying for the Roberts Court to be remembered as the worst Court in the history of the U.S., and that's saying a whole lot considering such decisions as the Dred Scott and the approval of sterilization without consent.
How the fuck does SCOTUS claim jurisdiction to issue the stay? Its appellate jurisdiction is limited by Congress. It has authority to issue a stay to give a party time to file an application for cert., but the statute is pretty clear that the application should be forthcoming. 28 USC 2101. But here the government concedes that it may not even file for cert, because it is going to await a ruling from the first circuit. Nothing prevents Trump from applying for cert right now, even without a final judgment from the appellate court, but he isn't. So what the fuck?

Which is a statement on how bad Congress and the presidency have been.
How many binkies does one man need? John Roberts AND Natalie?
And Steve — Bimbo and the Beasts.
I feel like we’ve been in an ongoing constitutional crisis since on or about January 20, 2025.
It started with Bush vs Gore.
Absolutely right Patt!
This Supreme Court is mostly a bunch of lickspittle quislings, except for Sotomyer, Jackson, and Kagan.
All except those three. Guessing John roberts is getting paid handsomely for those knee pads.
From democracy to oligarchy … the white elite deigns to deign.
With Clarence Thomas seeing a white man in the mirror.
Exchanging black robes for white.

The Chief of the Black-Robed Fascists is now very high on my list of those who need to be impeached.

What goes up must come down when the opportunity presents itself.
Bulldoze away and say "too late" when the Trump binky brigade tries to step in.

The court is not allowed to issue a restraining order until the wife has actually been shot.
The court is not allowed to issue a restraining order yet – he’s only pulling out the gun.
The court is not allowed to issue a restraining order yet – he’s only pointing the gun.
The court is not allowed to issue a restraining order yet – he’s only pulling out the trigger.
OK, she’s been shot by the bullet. The court can now issue a restraining order. We’ll wait here for his appeal.
Is Roberts afraid of Trump? Or is he actively abetting Trump?
