Seems like it will be a foot in the door. He'll feel invited to go further.

burl77.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes, but a win will certainly empower Trump to plow forward with his consolidation of power and rally his cult followers.

lobsterlend.bsky.social•22 days ago

Someone better start doing something because I see people getting very dark and concluding there aren’t many options available.

msbak.bsky.social•22 days ago

But will it take the wind out of the sails of everyone fighting his regime? Every win for Democracy bolsters morale.

Why on Earth do inspector generals serve at any presidents pleasure?

therasmussen.bsky.social•22 days ago

before the 1980's and republicans first love of stupid TV personalities

pre-80's
there wasn't an elected official so base, so devoid of professional and qualified council, and so driven to make a minority opinion, a majority reality.

therasmussen.bsky.social•22 days ago

it's always been the republicans

they have always been, enemy of the people, and friend to self-indulgence

False. Andrew Johnson got impeached for firing Stanton.The Founders did not create a King. The idea a president can fire a principal officer without cause and consent of Congress is an incorrect understanding of the Constitution.

lilienfeld1.bsky.social•22 days ago

The problem is that it is going to be viewed in MAGA land as a precedent if Trump prevails, and will become a rallying cry for them. It's not as though they need an excuse for political violence. But now they might well have one.

therasmussen.bsky.social•22 days ago

yup

Americans are in fight/flight, don’t understand the law, and are prone to seeing everything through their groupthink. This will change nothing whichever way it goes, but everyone will think it does, including trump himself.

Personally I think our odds of defeating him are best if he wins this one

I’m not expecting anything from this court to curtail the takeover. The SCOTUS has enabled the republicans to veer off the road internationally, not by accident

detroit1948.bsky.social•22 days ago

Excellent tip.

Robert must vote for the country.

So maybe it's not nuclear, but it's still disastrous if the Trump Administration wins.

I see a bunch of legal action, but I don't see it significantly slowing the Admin. The locusts have already consumed the crop by the time the pesticide is applied.

suffragette333.bsky.social•22 days ago

I don’t want them to win anything!

poetdevotee.bsky.social•22 days ago

If SCOTUS does not support following the APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES for firing someone, then we are all screwed. Come on! We all know it.

loydj77.bsky.social•22 days ago

The US was once a place called by many The Free World, where opportunities to achieve a life's dream could be realized. That place has vanished thanks to the convicted felon in the Oval.

therasmussen.bsky.social•22 days ago

It won't matter.

Americans. True Americans, won't be idle if this first challenge fails.

We aren't ever going to take the "let's wait and see" approach championed by so many milquetoast elected officials

therasmussen.bsky.social•22 days ago

If SCOTUS signals their willingness to say his directionless and ignorant bureaucratic adjustments are tantamount to the "Protection of the Republic", it's rubber meets the road time.

We've seen their anger for 20+ yrs (including the proto-maga "tea party")

They haven't seen "US" angry yet

BUT just like the 49%+ Cheetolini will take it as such

The 5th amendment guarantees due process when the government takes something from you. That is one of the underlying principles of civil service protections. The current regime is not only violating the laws regarding civil servants but also the constitution.

Can American citizens start a class action against Musk over his access to IRS data?

Right. Privacy laws? Where's my opt out? It hinges on if he,they are legit.

The case is Dellinger v. Bessent, 25-cv-00385, US District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

The Supreme Court case, Bessent
v. Dellinger, hasn't yet been assigned a case number.

"He who saves his country violates no law"
Napoleon Bonaparte, Paris, France, 1806

"He who saves his country does not violate any laws"
Donald Trump, Washington DC, USA, 2025

Both ruthless and quite vicious rulers aspiring to conquer the world.

You’re a lawyer, I have a question for you. The church on the end of my street hosted a rally for JD Vance big crowd. How is that legal? Doesn’t their tax exemption prohibit them from endorsing a candidate?

finallyretired.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes like the SCOTUS gave him immunity from literally EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

teainthesahara.bsky.social•22 days ago

George. I think prominent voices need to be warning people that a “Reichstag fire” is fairly likely soon.

Absolutely next in the dictator’s handbook

glenndeutsch.bsky.social•22 days ago

2 key nuggets:

"There will be plenty of viable legal challenges to how Trump is trying to eviscerate the federal bureaucracy no matter what [SCOTUS] does here.

"Likewise, this case has nothing to do with any of the funding/spending-related litigation rapidly working its way to the [...] Court."

hey you!! yes, you cutie on the "Have I got News for You"....next time, dont be so shy!! You have the hang of it now, next time will be hysterical. 😍

As opposed to the invalid reasons we normally see out of SCOTUS
Giving Trump his win without legal gymnastics

dorindaroche.bsky.social•22 days ago

Is there a central location where someone is tracking all these. It feels like it's taking forever for these cases to move forward.

beaverbrook.bsky.social•22 days ago

The worry is whether Trump et al obey SCOTUS.

perbt.bsky.social•22 days ago

Why should the ordinary American population even observe Law and Order, they can just say and write like "Donald the liar Trump", namely "that he who saves his country breaks no laws" (and this everyone can claim to do) therefore Law and Order no longer apply in the USA.
