Expand #SCOTUS.

How does expanding the court keep conservatives from packing it?

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Texas still has not complied and looks like it never will comply with SCOTUS razor wire ruling. The Lone Scumbag State even set up armed camps in response to any federal attempt to enforce the ruling. Why the fuck then should Colorado (or other states) comply with keeping Trump on the ballot?

Texas won’t be satisfied until they trigger a conflict with MX.

stephscythes.bsky.social•346 days ago

And/Or with a 🔵 federal government.

I know several conservatives who are absofuckinglutely gobsmacked by this and are rethinking a number of their positions. Here's hoping those are just a few of a much larger contingent.

I hope you’re right, but after Jan 6th, if they were still voting for Republicans, I doubt this will change their minds.

purpleiris.bsky.social•349 days ago

I wish the SCOTUS would have been expanded years ago. One party overrules upholding federal laws. Add to it Trump sends messages to conservatives on display to everyone, and nothing is done. We still have Trump navigating freely to break the law or influence others to do it for him.

as a native Texan, BINGO. They are power tripping here 24/7

Disqualify trumps scotus picks

"Expand" is a weird way to spell "Abolish"

Abolish scotus

saveamerica.bsky.social•349 days ago

Yup! You are 100% correct. And yet they denied the idiot in NM who was convicted of Jan 6 crimes and was thrown out of office. They refused to take up his case to allow him to run for office again. Yet they allowed MAGAt-man to stay on the CO ballot. Duplicitous shitbirds!

buttbird.bsky.social•349 days ago

State office vs Federal.

Couy Griffin can still run for federal office.

buttbird.bsky.social•349 days ago

Also, fuck Couy Griffin. He told my mom to shut up at a commission meeting and I threatened to beat the fucking jackrabbits out of him for it.

It’s because most conservatives can’t spell Hypocrisy.

sbbookgirl71.bsky.social•348 days ago

This is why we have Gorsuch and Barrett but not Garland. They make up rules for things they don't like and ignore them when it's something they want.

The entirely predictable outcome of RBG's opera buddy Antonin Scalia giving a thin veneer of intellectual respectability to the scam that judges can mystically intuit the "intent" of the founders - which conveniently always line up with the ideological fetishes of the contemporary right-wing.

What do you make of the Dem concurrence?

slack2thefuture.bsky.social•348 days ago

A political decision rather than a legal one.

lebanonlink.bsky.social•346 days ago

I was saying the same thing last week.

racquinox.net•349 days ago

I'll never understand why a position of so much power is an unelected position

slack2thefuture.bsky.social•349 days ago

Well, the idea was for the justices to be beyond the reach of petty politics.

But of course, the Founders didn’t know about motor coaches, that they would cost $500,000, and how bad Clarence Thomas would want one.

wattle.bsky.social•349 days ago

The failure of the Founders to plan for the Industrial Revolution has really distorted our politics

nichtmalo.bsky.social•349 days ago

Well, I don't think anyone could have predicted airplanes, and electric vehicles when television and imagination were less explored. However, here we are, in a mess.

mxhrad.bsky.social•349 days ago

Colorado should just fucking take Trump off the ballot anyway. Use this decision to say #SCOTUS got rid of federal control of national policies. What the fuck are they going to do? Texas already showed us we don’t have to follow judicial rulings either.

needleroozer.bsky.social•349 days ago

States should restrict gun sales, force gun registration, and ban semiautomatic weapons. SCOTUS just said state law trumps federal, right?

iamdarkink.bsky.social•349 days ago

Good, I see someone is paying attention.
