It’s not an act. The conservative SCOTUS bloc are corrupt chumps.

That’s a kind description of a travesty.

It's quite a choice to cede power in order to avoid people realizing you will never use your power.

I'm honestly having trouble distinguishing the two.

Im worried the reason they cant find him anymore is because he was murdered in the prison.

zever.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think they are carefully crafting a loophole to avoid deciding anything and therefore giving Trump yet more power.

I have to hope they saw this case as the tipping point in favor of preserving a shred of their legitimacy

berniemj.bsky.social•2 days ago

They have obviously tipped the wrong way.

I think they are so insulated, they don’t realize the consequences of their horrible decisions until the next ridiculous argument makes them realize they need to double down or admit error. Since they are clearly infallible legal gods, they double down.

They’re making Law, Order, Justice, and anyone associated with it look like chumps. When this is all said and done the legal profession is going to be viewed with the same disdain as cops and the media.

The majority of SCOTUS would love to allow Trump to do anything he pleases, and there will be no crimes committed because it’s all in the President’s official actions. Damn, that ruling from last summer is bearing strange fruit already, wouldn’t you say?

That's because they're chumps.

Or....hear me out

Maybe there's a majority of "Justices" that love this shit & are looking for any excuse to bend the law in favor of Trump at every opportunity. Be that a favorable delay or a favorable ruling

Maybe, just maybe, several "Justices" don't actually give a fuck about the Constitution.

That has become painfully, terrifyingly obvious.

At least Hitler had to stand before GE Weimar Parliament to ask them to pass Enabling Act, giving him authority to render Weimar Constitution only high-minded words on paper.

With Trump v US Immunity ruling on 7/1/24, SCOTUS gave DT the power of a King, as long as he labels it as an “official act”

The 6 Republican judges on the U.S. Supreme Court are corrupt and an utter disgrace! Zero integrity! Zero honor to their oath! The black robes they wear are merely a disguise. They are actually extreme right-wing ideologues who want to force their horrible and harmful policies on the country. 🖕

Only to those who will see.

I think the supreme court concept is just burnt out. Look at them. They dont know what to do. Anyone can pretty much throw a robe on 😂 whats the big deal with it? Useless institution unless they uphold laws and rights. If its just to protect their own opinions, jobs, get rid of it. I say.

Because - and I cannot stress this enough - they are chumps.
