And then?

bkshep.bsky.social•6 days ago

Direct from ddc to scotus?

jacksquatto.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who is "they" in the last sentence? The Trump Academy of Liars or the Supremely Corrupt Court?

crwnptgurl.bsky.social•6 days ago

What a disgrace. Bye USA.

pino-fotus.bsky.social•6 days ago

Harry, do we even have law in our country anymore? It’s tragic to witness it being dismantled and disregarded.

imthatholly.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's what I used to tell my parents, when I got busted for something, but my parents said that my not citing the unconstitutionality of their rule, as reason to ignore them, when doing so, but not until caught, nullified my argument.

I predict a 6-3 vote to continue enabling tyranny, worst-case, 5-4. Any other guesses?

nojustdan.bsky.social•6 days ago

5-4. Roberts always votes with the minority when he knows the right wingers are going to get their way no matter what.

The NOT Supreme Court will NOT SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION. 6 if then are full-on TRAITORS to the United States of America.

wcgrumpystump.bsky.social•6 days ago

So is a president who try’s to reverse laws by proclamation.

tdb011235.bsky.social•6 days ago

Given how fast things are happening, rough guess on how quickly SCOTUS will rule on this?

dooney3553.bsky.social•6 days ago

Let’s hope! I have absolutely no faith in this Supreme Court

jtlesq.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think they will say the executive branch has the power to determine the size of agencies and departments but not the power to interrupt allocations set by congress.

indypnw.bsky.social•6 days ago

Anything that gets heard by the Supreme Court will go in his favor. They, being the six radical right wing judges, fetishize an executive branch with unfettered power. He won the election and the popular vote and has all three branches of government under his authoritarian control.

nojustdan.bsky.social•6 days ago

Laws are unconstitutional. The constitution is unlawful. The Trump approach to legal jurisprudence.

alanbbayer.bsky.social•6 days ago

There’s enough members of the court that appear to be in favor of a unitary presidency.

bruinbruiser.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe. Seems some second thoughts among Barrett, Kavanaugh and Chief.

alanbbayer.bsky.social•6 days ago

On unitary power? Maybe Barrett, but that’s but enough

bruinbruiser.bsky.social•5 days ago

we'll see. maybe some others won't be enamored with recent pronouncements by trump.

alanbbayer.bsky.social•5 days ago

One can hope

czeckmate2024.bsky.social•6 days ago

Is he reinstated pending final opinion or is he out of the job and would have to be reinstated?

john-sup.bsky.social•6 days ago

...Harry, can't "The People" bring a case showing cause for Trump's removal through the federal court system as HE files unconstitutional executive orders constantly? His illegal actions seem above and beyond the impeachment process. Don't we have nuisance laws anymore?

asdmom.bsky.social•6 days ago

SCOTUS. Most of them are on board with project 2025. Not hopeful.

cinderellaenflambe.bsky.social•6 days ago

Was there a contract for his appointment? Are contracts, accepted applications, those type of things, etc. now no longer binding?

dsec1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Everything they want to do is constitutional, even if it isn't, and everything they don't want to do is unconstitutional, even if it is. They refer to this as Unitary Executive. A made up theory that is completely antithetical to the vision of the founding fathers.

dicools.bsky.social•6 days ago

Since the dissent relies on recent immunity decision, it seems very likely scotus will take it and rule in favor of admin. Pushing us one step closer to unified exec theory

veritasnow.bsky.social•6 days ago

Dellinger has my open WB case against ICE, he has to stay on or every single WB case will be flushed down the toilet

facistantii.bsky.social•6 days ago

Our laws and Constitution have been swept under the rug and stomped on.

4legsrgood.bsky.social•6 days ago

Predictions?

My god but they are assholes.

cococurie2.bsky.social•6 days ago

Buckle up. Here we go.

cindyo8671.bsky.social•6 days ago

Good cause there are zero ethics at the present time!

buzzgrambo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Any chance this court sees what is going on and wants to rein him in?

jayleighla.bsky.social•6 days ago

No, they gave nonexistent not in the Constitution made up from whole cloth 'immunity'.

civicsforall.bsky.social•6 days ago

That is the question, isn't it...

whoweare4change.bsky.social•6 days ago

Interesting that they care about upholding the Constitution all of a sudden. 🤔

marilynr20.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep, the devils are here. May the law hold.

theevidencesays.bsky.social•6 days ago

By failing to raise cause, it is now waived if case survives?

zackattack17.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why do I feel like they’re gonna run everything up to the Supreme Court because all the unconstitutional things they are doing they say our constitutional

erica-84.bsky.social•6 days ago

Of course they are. They didn’t steal 2 seats for nothing.

kalliopeo.bsky.social•6 days ago

So they’ll affirm the president can fire anyone in the executive because he’s the president without going through any procedure?

happymurphy.bsky.social•6 days ago

And then Congress will officially have no check to administrative power in this system of checks and balances.

kellydavidian.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wouldn’t that include them??

drmkb.bsky.social•6 days ago

They’re in the judicial branch

kellydavidian.bsky.social•6 days ago

And that would stop him how? First they came for….etc.

drmkb.bsky.social•6 days ago

I thought you were answering the person above you talking about “him being able to fire anyone in the executive;” my answer was to your statement that “that includes them.” Looks like I misunderstood the statement. My bad

kellydavidian.bsky.social•6 days ago

I kind of was, you’re correct the statement was about the executive branch but he’s coloring outside the lines everywhere, right? You’re totally correct….ordinarily he would not have the ability/right to do any of the things, but….not ordinary times

kalliopeo.bsky.social•6 days ago

You don’t fire justices when you become a dictator, you arrest them, have them killed, and replace them with loyalists.

kellydavidian.bsky.social•6 days ago

I would not put it past him. Alito and Thomas cheering as Justices Satomayor, Kagan, and Brown Jackson are led away in handcuffs

facistantii.bsky.social•6 days ago

It appears so and yet the worse is yet to come he is crazy enough to order random executions anywhere, anytime and the yellow-bellied SCOTUS 6 will look the other way.
