I hadn't considered it until now, but if you just took away certiorari, SCOTUS would hold the function merely of resolving disputes rather than a tier of demi-gods, deciding who gets to live or die or get healthcare or get away with crimes.

Can Congress create a bill to amend a law?

jbrownblue.bsky.social•87 days ago

And include mandatory ethics & compliance oversight

cajoburto.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yes. Will they? No.

So if I understand this right the SC was bored with its allotted role in the great democratic experiment, & decide it should be the arbiter of legislative policy, but only the ones they deemed important for the times? They removed their checks on power & then that turned out how it always does.

Oh I’m quite sure that the Republicans will jump on that. Since it works for them why would they mess up their good SCOTUS deal. Not going to happen

Also, there would be fewer fascists wanting to ascend to it, because it would be more ministerial than anything.

Drudgery would attract true public servants, not christonationalist machiavellian sociopaths looking for a way to make all of America into their own sandbox.

When you say ‘sandbox’ do you mean that in the software sense or the cat sense?

mommamisery.bsky.social•87 days ago

Definitely the cat sense

mommamisery.bsky.social•87 days ago

A sandbox for software is not real. No lasting implications. I play in the sandbox so I don’t screw up anything real. They are dropping turds that do damage.

And grifters wouldn’t be using it as a personal criminal court after stacking it with lackeys…
