And yet, no one is doing anything about it…

extendedmetaphor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Still believe SCOTUS can stem the tide? Roberts let the genie out of the bottle with the Colorado decision--everyone could see it--but we still to this day read bullshit analyses of how the Robert's SCOTUS will reassert the rule of law. This is what a racist country eating itself looks like.

People are going to die needlessly because everyone was too busy analyzing the machinations of this gangrenous court as just a slight difference of doctrinal opinion from the norm instead of the constitutional burn-pit that it was becoming.

The Supreme Court has become a kangaroo court. It operates at Dumpty’s pleasure, with Scalia appointees - project 2025 judges - and it is neither fair, judicious, or unprejudicial.
The judges regularly ignore the rules, accept favors and gifts - in my book that makes them corrupt. Disband them.

How much damage does this per curium do to the “full faith and credit” of the US. Who will buy our bonds and notes if the President can simply refuse to pay one of our creditors because he doesn’t like him?

ccblomquist.bsky.social•4 days ago

Roberts is as much the problem as Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, or Barrett.
Roberts has been a key part of the problem from the beginning. See: Citizens United, Shelby County v. Holder. His few anomalous votes (like Obamacare) do not change that fact.
John Roberts is, has always been, trash.

Did anyone think they would not include control of the judiciary in this political coup? Did we believe checks, balances & compromise would continue to exist? We needed to find legal remedies long before now even if Const doesn't clearly provide them. 2020 will be too late.

We have had an ILLEGITIMATE SCOTUS ever since Mitch McConnell denied Obama an up/down floor vote in the Senate on ANY SCOTUS Nominee he made with 11 months left in his term. I said from the very start, we must not turn a deaf ear to this, but we did. This was very wrong.

Legal scholars said there

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•2 days ago

we’re no laws on this issue, so we couldn’t take it to Court. Well, by God, we needed to persist & take the issue where we could. It was a death knell decision to do absolutely nothing.

Many Constitutional Law Professors & Scholars provided ways we could go about contesting this, but Obama,

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•2 days ago

who once taught Constitutional Law at Harvard Law School simply let this go. He was extremely wrong to do this.

Then, ALL evidence in the Mueller Investigation pointed to a Criminal Conspiracy b/t Trump 2016 Campaign & Putin/Russia, when AG Bill Barr suddenly & unilaterally shutdown the entire…

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•2 days ago

investigation, & LIED & MISREPRESENTED the Mueller Investigation findings.

If there was NO THERE-THERE, ask yourself why AG Barr shutdown the entire Mueller Investigation when, & in the manner, he did?

Therefore, Trump was more than likely NEVER a legitimate POTUS elected in the 2016 Election…

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•2 days ago

This would render his 3 SCOTUS Appointments Null & Void.

I have never understood why AG Bill Barr was able to get away with his massive wrongdoing, not disciplined in any way. WTF is wrong with people we simply turned a deaf ear to all of this? //End.

While he can try to exert influence, Roberts can't order the other justices to vote any particular way. He voted with the sane ones in this case, but Barrett chose to go with the loonies.

Roberts was filling his pockets long before the felon came along. He is doing whatever Heritage tells him to. The felon is a joke. They give him his props, tell him what to say, and he performs like the actor he hoped to be. Roberts is a puppet. SCOTUS abandoned us and the Constitution long ago.

If the majority of the court ultimately buys into the unitary executive theory, which we know several justices already do, we are screwed. Trump will basically be able to do whatever he wants and will be an authoritarian. It’s very scary but is definitely a possibility with this court.

onemoney.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's time to shut down the Supreme Court. 100,000 angry Americans should be sufficient. The Court will let Trump do anything, including imposing illegal martial law. Let's get into the streets, peacefully, and shut down DC, especially the Supreme fraud Court. We've got to act before it's too late.

mamaarth.bsky.social•4 days ago

guwonder.bsky.social•4 days ago

They didn’t need to shut down courts. The South Koreans’ police and courts refused to abandon the constitutional rule of law and were unwilling to kiss up to a wannabe dictator. The Korean’s Supreme Court sided with the rule of law. The McConnell-Trump-stacked US Supreme Court? They made a king.
