Correct
#EndCitizensUnited

SCOTUS sold Democracy for pennies on the dollar with the Citizen's United ruling back in 2010.
Making him king isn't the beginning of being complicit in enabling fascism. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Crowning Dictators is a Citizens United thing... ask Elon Musk.

ninafa.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes! That’s where it all begins! It seems so obvious now- that it would lead to Greed beyond Imagination.

hollyak.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s Roberts. He’s the key.

anthoniem.bsky.social•3 days ago

Should sneak this into the “Big Beautiful Bill”, nobody reads it anyway. That way at least something good comes out of that legislative piece of garbage.

misbruiker.bsky.social•3 days ago

I would argue that SCOTUS does, in fact, not know exactly what it's doing. What SCOTUS does know, is where the money's at.

fryscodylan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Make sure this stays on the list all - SCOTUS is compromised and must be included when this regime is overthrown.

gillthetherapist.bsky.social•4 days ago

The system has failed us! Therefore, now is the time for a complete redo (legislative, excutive, and judicial) because there is no longer checks and balances.

The Senate and the electoral college are the 2 worst horrors against a representative federal government. Also unelected right-wingers like oligarchs, the federalist society, clowns like Grover Norquist. We've expected the nuts to self police their actions but they're too far gone.

I think Citizens United basically said that money equals free speech. Of course it follows that the wealthy elite has more free speech than the poor and middle class.

schnaa.bsky.social•3 days ago

At a bare minimum, you'd think there'd be a heavy restriction on "political contributions" for companies that receive government contracts. But, nah, of course not.

eric36575.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh no. Alito's argument would be that you can't limit the free speech of those who are providing a service to the government. Or something similar.

fredraker.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don't forget their "absolute immunity" ruling. (By the way, there's no mention of immunity of any kind in the Constitution.)

ljdr48.bsky.social•3 days ago

If Roe v Wade can be overturned ….. just saying.

jamesdeandaydream.bsky.social•2 days ago

Roe was controversial (and wrong) the day it was decided, never became less controversial (nor less wrong), yet still it took a focussed, decades-long campaign that involved wholesale change (improvement) in judicial thinking to expunge it. That is hardly the model if we want a case overruled.

neo676.bsky.social•3 days ago

And now if your a Democrat you won't get medical help who cares if you served your country who cares if you bled , lost a limp, or blind this is what all you Vets for Trump votes for tell that to your fellow soldier

antirepublican.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not true. The Speech and Debate Clause states that Senators and Representatives are privileged from arrest except for Treason, felony, and breach of the peace. This is an immunity in the Constitution.

fredraker.bsky.social•2 days ago

I meant no mention of immunity for the president.

antirepublican.bsky.social•2 days ago

That is correct

tuckermidas58.bsky.social•2 days ago

No mention of abortion either

docbones.bsky.social•2 days ago

You have to wear your super secret conservative law goggles that let you see the invisible ink on the back.

dreams-unwind.bsky.social•2 days ago

NOT absolute. Reading comprehension failed you or you didn't bother to read it at all.
Their interpretation, like yours, is incorrect.
Fascism never ends well for the fascists.

luckyt726.bsky.social•2 days ago

Because they too are traitors and should ve punished for their atrocious understanding of the Actual Constitution that they are supposed to be upholding. Pay a Judge off and anything is possible....just look how long the Italian Mafia got away with paying off judges and lawyers.

m41771848.bsky.social•4 days ago

If abortion rights can be overturn then Citizens United can also be overturned.

gppuft.bsky.social•4 days ago

So can the Immunity ruling!!

bluntmeme.bsky.social•4 days ago

Exactly!

roberts' wife has raked in over $10,000,000 for her husband from law firms with cases before the court.
kavanaugh had $millions in loans paid off by unknown people the day he was appointed.
gorsuch's shitty property that he couldn't unload for years was similarly purchased by an unknown buyer.
Etc.

myfathersson32.bsky.social•3 days ago

ALLLLL of the republican judges are bought and paid for.
Nearly the entire bench is corrupt.
RESTRUCTURE SCOTUS:
10-year term limits,
Increase bench to 13,
Limit the number of presidential appointments per term,
Ethics code by Congress and enforceable with criminal penalties.

kevinwontbedefined.bsky.social•3 days ago

Every session of Congress should get 1 nom. So every 2 years one justice gets replaced.

kevinwontbedefined.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you want to expand the bench then I guess it should be 2 per session.

boba51.bsky.social•4 days ago

How about on Dec. 12, 2000 when they stopped the counting of the votes in Florida and appointing Bush jr. POTUS. Then they slunk out the back to avoid the press after decreeing this ruling could only be used in this case Bush vs. Gore. Unsigned. Divided America into two camps with no reconciliation.

puppydelay.bsky.social•4 days ago

I still wonder why? Many of them are richer than shit! Way richer than when they were appointed!

batmobile63-65.bsky.social•3 days ago

No damn doubt in my mind the republicans on the Court exuberantly accepted money in exchange for lawlessness. Hope these bastards and bitch pay dearly for the rest of their lives; and then be dragged into hell.

kevinwontbedefined.bsky.social•3 days ago

Dragged through the streets first. They've got some Gaddafi ing to do.

jackrackham2018.bsky.social•4 days ago

Exactly correct

tammybuday.bsky.social•4 days ago
