Phew, we need a good news or two nowadays😊

kdhero.bsky.social•76 days ago

Talk about meaningless. What exactly will happen if he violates the ban?

The Supreme Court already granted him immunity for anything he does as President.

mommamia.bsky.social•76 days ago

I’ll hold onto every scrap of positive news possible.
Thanks for sharing!

seancj.bsky.social•76 days ago

Surprised at even this minimal pushback to be honest.

For appearances, or do they feel they need to make known that they're not just going to go along with everything?

(Spoiler, if Trumps starts applying the pressure, they will be going along with everything).

rsmith670.bsky.social•76 days ago

They’re protecting trump from himself so he won’t say anything That’s really more incriminating than he has already said.

samlia.bsky.social•76 days ago

Interesting concept 👀👀

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•76 days ago

I will believe this matters when the court sanctions trump, with sanctions that actually bite

Untill then just performative crap, IMO

jessicamullen.bsky.social•75 days ago

The MAGA SC is just trying to balance their rulings. Look for them to ambush our rights or settled law soon. 👀

sentenne.bsky.social•76 days ago

Damn. Surprise 😮

heidisplace.bsky.social•76 days ago

Alito?

trisresists.bsky.social•76 days ago

That is good news. However, I don’t trust this SC to do anything to halt his criminal behavior once he’s president.

dhstokyo.bsky.social•75 days ago

I have to say I have found it very unsettling to not have any trust in the Supreme Court.

krnlkule.bsky.social•75 days ago

That’s the whole problem we are having with the entire country. Trust in our systems are degrading and with good reason. It’s been setup to benefit people at that top. Laws and regulations that were intended to benefit lower classes have been steadily ripped away over the last 50yrs.

spiralweaver.bsky.social•75 days ago

True and most wise, Tris. Trust is an increasingly rare commodity today. Hard won, easily lost and right now incredibly difficult in which to believe.

msgrumpybunny.bsky.social•75 days ago

Tokyo, do you think the SC is legitimately trying to stick to the constitution and laws here or do you think it’s a fool me once, fool me twice situation?

trcytstcbitchcakes.bsky.social•74 days ago

I think it's more a situation of "if we let this motherfucker talk he's going to say shit we can't defend and so just make sure he keeps his trap shut"

apothcarysees.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yup yup yup

dhstokyo.bsky.social•75 days ago

I want so badly to believe that but too many times they’ve twisted originalism and precedent to get the result we all fear. Simply put, I don’t trust them.

stornahal.bsky.social•74 days ago

Not to mention that textualism only seems to apply when convenient.

memamastergardener.bsky.social•75 days ago

Me neither

patnasonsongs.bsky.social•74 days ago

Me neither

dockim.bsky.social•76 days ago

Whew…

karlovski.bsky.social•75 days ago

Bravo!

sdshors.bsky.social•75 days ago

What a welcome bit of news!

robinthereanimato.bsky.social•76 days ago

beware, if they can stop Trump from making thinly veiled death threats against a judge's daughter, they can stop us all from making thinly veiled death threats against a judge's daughter.

flyonsomewall.bsky.social•75 days ago

But in a few weeks he can just violate the gag order anyway, with Supreme Court granted immunity

impossiblemachine.bsky.social•76 days ago

Not a surprise protecting their own

ashleyvotesblue.bsky.social•76 days ago

Interesting. Like what’s the catch? I don’t trust SCOTUS at all. I only trust Jackson, Sotomayor and Kagan. The rest are huge traitors.

cindynyc.bsky.social•76 days ago

I'm with you

rokloglo-1951.bsky.social•76 days ago

What?? They actually did something right?

stevenchandler1.bsky.social•76 days ago

Things are fixing to get hit in America . I think Trump and company are fixing to meet the final
Chapter of their crime spree.

greenfieldnana.bsky.social•76 days ago

Chief Justice John Roberts should cite Article 14, paragraph 3 of the US Constitution when he refuses to swear insurrectionist Trump in as president of the USA on January 20, 2025.

kmr-kevin.bsky.social•76 days ago

That's something I'd really love to see, but of course it's totally a fantasy. Roberts clearly is on the MAGA side.

greenfieldnana.bsky.social•76 days ago

Time to get serious. Didn't our forebearers die for our Constitution and now we're just going to let it slip away? We need to start dumping something into harbors.

carreyg.bsky.social•74 days ago

I’m in!
