You hit the nail on the 9 heads. It is exhausting for all of us. The Presidential Immunity decision will go down in history as even worse than Citizens United.
Right? I mean it baffles me that the majority of them did not have the foresight to see that their decision was going to bring on extra work for themselves if they gave him immunity. It’s just…I don’t even have words for the level of stupidity and selfishness they had when they gave that ruling.
The only reason the gop majority of them is going against him is because they know without a doubt that he will be coming for them next. He won’t stop until they make him. They should revoke his immunity next. That would really make him smear his orange makeup.
Thomas & Alito got their “dissent” orders from the Heritage Foundation’s Leonard Leo & Harlan Crow…
You know those “fishing trips” & motor homes could get yanked.
Greatful? The Supremes are running hot and cold and I'm sure they will do something else that will piss you off in the future. Don't get all greatful just yet.
That they followed. Whether they remain consistent in adhering to the Constitution remains to be seen. But it is nice to know that they aren't yet fully gone.
They have to "Throw us a bone" every now and then on major issues so later they can:
Give the 1% "All that's left"
Finish off civil rights.
Protect Shitler from treason punishments.
Hide/defend his DEEEEP Epstein/Pedo-Rape info, murder, & payoffs.
Hand him a 3rd term.
Following the law when it suits them. Look at Roe v Wade or Presidential immunity. They twisted into knots finding rational reasons to get rid or allow these things their personal rules showed as much.
Well, they did this time, but Thomas and Alito dissented, like they always do.
In a situation where it’s left to interpretation, and not a clear rule of law, they will side with fascism, as they have in the past.
Alito and Thomas lead the corruption that has destroyed the reputation of SCOTUS. They are obviously unfit to sit on the bench of any court in the world. Because SCOTUS is hopelessly corrupt, it is acquiescing to Trump’s subordination of the judicial and legislative branches to his Fascist rule.
That's good. However as they were smoke screening with this, after realizing that they are not needed in a lawless country that BEENADICK DONALD is building, they are taking millions of peoples healthcare and livelihoods. There is always something bigger behind the scene. We need eyes everywhere.
This is how Dems can unite with one another, in their messaging, and to voters: focus every opposition as it relates to the constitution. Make DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION the objective.
IT'S A START TRUMP IS DOING SO MANY THINGS AGAINST THE LAWS BECAUSE HE THINKS HE IS ABOVE THE LAW BECAUSE OF THE IMMUNITY HE SHOULD BE STOPPED HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT LOOK AT THE WAY HE TREAT THE SUPREME COURT
How in the fuck did we get to the point that we have to be grateful that scotus follows the law and the Constitution? I mean, it should be a given that they follow the law, right? What the fuck are we doing here?
He nominated them transactionally. They did what they said they would do, and now they are ready for the rest of their lifetime appointments. He can be not very happy with them all he wants, but their debt is paid.
Alito and Thomas are dangerous anti-constitutional extremists - the rest of the GOP nominated ideologues are not much better - don’t give them too much credit.
… this time. They’re probably more concerned with maintaining their own power rather than protecting us. But a dictator cannot coexist with a functioning court. Something’s gotta give.
oh wow, the corrupt christian nationalist who has ruined more lives than he has helped is a great father and really loves his children. how grateful i am!
Any time my father starts ranting about ‘radical left judges,’ I just calmly say, ‘Oh, you mean the ones who took away my right to make decisions about my own body? Those judges?’
They no longer need him. Once he had appointed them, he lost any control he might have had over them, and they’re realising that now. He threatened the Judiciary with targeted impeachments and that, it seems, was a step too far.
Self preservation seems to be a powerful motivator.
Right. And in their previous ruling, they said he could ignore their rulings with impunity. During the most recent argument before the court, he said he intends to. It's fascinating to see that the public has no limit on its readiness to obey completely.
They still gave him immunity that they won't take away. Which is of a dubious legality anyways. Don't thank them for anything. They deserve the gibbet either way.

"STOP, or I'll have to say stop again."

There is still this little thing about the president blatantly ignoring a scotus order.
About which nothing has been done

THOSE are why they're there.
Reversing Roe v Wade is still unforgivable, and always will be.
In a situation where it’s left to interpretation, and not a clear rule of law, they will side with fascism, as they have in the past.
They, like all republicans, only care about any issue when it impacts them directly and negatively.
They F’ed up, giving him limited immunity, and now he’s running with it.
How is Thomas supposed to get a new RV or a lavish trip or a home paid for for his mom or private school for his family … if he doesn’t have power?
At least in SOME cases!
Like… that’s the lowest possible bar.
too often they are happy to go along with whatever nonsense put in front of them.
went along with Dobbs.
granted Komrade Krasnov immunity, ushering in autocracy.
they've already destroyed the rule of law with Citizens United.
no credit given. no forgiveness from me.
Self preservation seems to be a powerful motivator.
This is why they are changing their position and actually ruling in accordance with The Constitution.
