What about the food and supplies that have been sitting on a dock for almost a week? Just chuck it? Wonder how many people starved while Roberts was granting his stay.
According to an article I saw, at least 16,900 people have already died as a result of USAID being frozen, though I think that’s mostly from denial of medical care rather than food.
5-4? Really?? A blatant violation of the Constitutions Separation of Powers Act, and 4 of the unSupreme justices voted it was ok? It’s no surprise that the justices that voted for the trump admins illegality are the ones that have been charged with ethics violations. No legitimacy left whatsoever.
Just heard Musk was enraged that the court didnt vote against it and members of the court are getting random pizza deliveries??? Like we Know Where You Live DONT YOU DARE VOTE AGAINST TRUMP. Ugh!!!!!!! This is like the GD Mafia is ruling us.
It's pretty bad when even I can correctly guess who the four dissenters were. Alito says he's stunned the court correctly ruled to uphold Article 1 of the constitution and a federal law that had previously been upheld. I'm stunned Alito and Thomas are still plaguing us with their pretzel logic.
This shows how fragile our democratic republic is: four members of Scotus can't bring themselves to rule against unconstitutional acts on ideological grounds. Agencies created by Congress can only be dismantled by Congress, Congress is in charge of the purse, the President is bound to uphold the law
I knew even before reading any articles who the 4 dissenting voters were. Alito, Thomas, Kavanagh, and Gorsuch.
They are corrupt and will vote for the trump fascist government even if it means not supporting the Constitution.
The idea that it was that close is… mind-boggling.
The SCOTUS ruling blocking EPA from universally stopping “sewage waste in water” under the guise of asking for more specific language?
History will remember. U can’t scrub it all.
When this is over, there WILL be removal mechanisms & term limits.
no lie. should have totally be unanimous. those 4 voted against democracy and for executive branch to do whatever the hell they want. that is inexcusable. ppl begged Biden to expand the court, next time maybe they'll listen. smh
This should have been a 9-0 decision. Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch are okay if the United States is a dead beat country that doesn’t pay its debts according to law. Just disgusting.
I’m guessing the ‘Tips’ for services rendered — who the fuhh are we kidding, it’s a bribe — did not come through in time. #SetPrecedent #SCOTUS_is_compromised
Two of the SC political hacks aren't quite hacky enough; won't be long before the Maggots scream to impeach them and replace them with a Thomas, Alito or Kavanagh style hack.
It was never gonna be 9-0 with Alito and Thomas on the bench. They stopped caring about the law years ago and are full sellouts to the "republican emperor" plan. But the fact that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh went along with it is terrifying given the blatant unconstitutionality. ACB once again surprises.
A constitutional crisis. Which we are already under. A constitutional crisis can lead to civil war eventually. Which Trump wants. He was the US to collapse so they can rebuild in the image of Musk. A dystopian technological nightmare.
Four justices wanted to give the power of the purse to the president?!? They are corrupt. The English civil war in the 1600s was faught over this. It was settled law before the Constitution.
Fair enough. But as big an oligarchic whore as Roberts is, I don't think he wants his legacy to be presiding over the SCOTUS that castrated itself to enable fascism in America.
Yes. I suspect Roberts' primary motivation at this point is to NOT be labeled as the worst Chief Justice in history. It's hard to be worse than Taney whose Dred Scott decision resulted in 600,000 Civil War dead but Roberts is getting there.
I don’t thinks he’s a constitutionalist. He doesn’t believe the Commerce Clause gives Congress the right to pass civil rights legislation & wrote the non-constitutional opinion on presidential immunity. He disregarded plain intent, language, precedent of the 14th Amendment to allow Trump on ballot.
Keep in mind that if 2025 plays out the way they want it to that Handmaid would probably be forced out to take on "her traditional role" and that might be something that keeps her from going along with the Commanders...for now anyways.
The four dissenters are pretty questionable as judges if you ask me…money laundering, rape, racist, spineless…Trumps dream team, minus the one that doesn’t want her name brought up about that long meeting she and Trump had to get her a seat…
House GOP Push WH Right To Send State Cases To Fed. Court
March 4, 2025, 8:44 PM EST
House Republicans on Tuesday rallied behind a bill that would let current and former presidents move state and local cases against them to federal court.
No one will enforce it. That is what Trump and Musk have figured out. A court order is nothing but a worthless piece of paper when they control the levers of government and DOJ.
So 4 of our lifetime appointed Supreme Court Justices voted against the United States government paying people for contracted work that has already been performed. We need to scrap everyone in DC and start over fresh.
Remember trump admin the people you kill…. They have family…..you can’t hide forever… 😂just pointing out the obvious… these folks think they are shielded… not in the world today and it’s going get nastier with the firings…
I read that all it does is punted it back to the lower courts. Which is better than the other option. Therefore, would this be the 4th court order Republicans have violated?
The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it. In other words:
The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance. Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated
So….4 SCOTUS think it’s okay to break a contract to farmers, producers and consumers. I guess that’s another thing Trump normalized, since he’s been screwing his contractors, clients and constituents all his miserable,greedy, unloved life.
Nice going Thomas, Alito,Goresuch…
But nobody should be fooled. Roberts and Coney-Barrett also have no integrity or empathy. They’re just taking an easy one to make themselves look moderate. They aren’t!
So Barrett voted with the liberals. Interesting. She is doing more of that. Still don't trust her but she hasn't been as nuts as I thought she would be.
Coney Barrett has been a pleasant surprise several times now. Glad to see she’s not “as bad” as we thought she was. Someone should buy her an RV or something.
The Supreme Court is only doing this cause the secret got out. Intellectual people told them this is a very bad idea. They are in the walking back mode.
They also don’t care. I’ve heard them say they’re willing to suffer so long as people they hate also suffer. People I sadly share a gene pool with. It’s a disease of fear and cruelty.
I actually do feel sorry for them. They’re all scared and weak. Don’t get me wrong they’re also dangerous. But fundamentally they’re just afraid of everything. It will take REAL strength to put them back in their box so they can either survive the sickness and get healthy, or just stop infecting us.
I heard a MAGA say they are willing to put up with tRump wrecking their lives and destroying America because he is keeping his promise to deport as any "illegals" as he can lay his hands on
Most MAGA have never encountered one single "illegal"
They hate who they are told to hate
My experience living in a low income area is that many Need someone else to blame for their own failures. Migrants and Immigrants are just easy targets as the Boogy Man.
Some of them do. Some of them know EXACTLY what's coming down the pipeline. But they don't care because it will also hurt brown people, non-Christians, women, the LGBTQIA community . . . and that fact makes them so wet they're happy to shoot themselves in the foot and burn their own house down.
Why are four pretending Trump controls the pursestrings when they know damn well that's a congressional responsibility? Withholding it is impoundment and there is no emergency involved.
Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh said no! What does that say about their unpatriotic character! 🤬 Hmm, is this the new normal, cruelty towards Americans, & our global alliances? 🤬
Wait, wait can you guess who those particular Supreme Court judges were maybe the ones he thanked during last night’s speech? And unspoken, promised More money. You know when I went to school, I thought that was an implied bribe.
This vote should have been 9-0 had SCOTUS actually followed the Constitution. This funding was passed by Congress, as required UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, and should never been stopped or paused by anyone BUT Congress.
But when you’re corrupt, you never feel bad about meeting your OBLIGATIONS.
Just noted by CNN that Musk is scheduled to meet with GOP lawmakers (today?)
I suppose to divy up the seized funds?
Or maybe they'll just pass out an attaboy.
Whew! Now American food and drug aid can resume, hopefully to build good will amongst poor foreign countries-less China step in and shame America.John F. Kennedy set it up for this purpose: Humanitarian work!Selfish Trump and Musk almost killed such a valuable department! Or, will they ignore order?
Let me guess who the four is, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh. Those four who were yachting with Putin’s Oligarchs, what does it tell you that even the highest court in the land has members who are Kremlin agents and we think fascism is the problem.
I worked with some of them in intelligence. They are incompetent, rely on mafioso like rules, for now. When I left, China sent me bodyguards, because I am a liberal, etc. Sickening. Trump and his ilk think shedding blood is cool, as long as they do not have to be near enough for nightmares.
My life is real and I NEVER LIE about these matters. I am kind of beyond defending myself on line, but whether that point is something you believe or not, I did go to university for 12 years, and am not an idiot. I am a liberal, and my life is way more fantastical than I let on. Enough. Read ,see.
I couldn't possibly be more serious. Have you ever stopped to think that everything "religion" is nothing more than a man-made concept? I mean that's the fact- of-the-matter 🤓
Hell is empty and the inbred baboons are here.
Most Republicans aren't conniving enough to be devils. They are, however, stupid enough to be lab experiments and drug monkeys who crashed out of the science center and found themselves in a meth lab with no adult supervision.
Clarence, thankless black, who is rare and lucky enough to be at the highest office, is just happy to get free vacations from Crow and be a slave of his fat wife.
Totally agree. this whole situation with the courts is a nightmare. The majority of them are Heritage Foundation, so we can't trust them to not destroy this country further with future cases. Brick by brick, they are tearing it down.
Roberts was not a dissenting party, he and Amy Barrett went with the 3 liberal justices on this one. Thomas, kavanaugh, Alito, and Gorsuch are the compromised assets, which we knew.
Barrett is a surprise, I'm thinking she just really bought into the BS before rather than having dirt.
I guarantee you the visually-impaired don't have a single clue what these two chuckleheads have ever posted. I've never seem a single plain text post or Alt-texted image of text from them ever. Anyone using assistive software can't see ANY post from this account. Not one!
Whenever I see a 5-4 vote from the US Supreme Court, I can’t help but wonder: is the decision grounded in the law, or is it influenced by ideologies and personal preferences? Shouldn't the distinction between lawful and unlawful be clear and uncomplicated?
Sometimes there is honest disagreement about some arcane point of law, but this isn't such a case. This is about paying the bill for services already rendered. Even if a govt contract is terminated for convenience, the contractor is owed costs incurred.
Those 4 SCOTUS judges are terrified of Trump & will basically now vote whatever way they think Trump will approve of, irrespective of the law. Which is a pretty sad state of affairs
Remember, this isn’t for us. It’s for them. For the next four years, this is all a game.
It’s not a sudden dawning of sanity. It’s a game of pathos and “please dont hate me enough to find out where I live even though I hired PIs and PR firms to silence and dox many of you to win votes.”

There's hope.
5-4 is quite concerning, but I'll take it.
Thank God Barrett & Roberts ruled with Kagan & Sotomayer to do the right thing!
Someone gets it...
They are corrupt and will vote for the trump fascist government even if it means not supporting the Constitution.

They are traitors.
2 witnesses. Just 2.
Thomas thinks he's Stephen at the Candyland Plantation (he's not wrong).
And Kavanaugh's credit cards didn't pay themselves off.
The only thing that surprised me about how this went down is that the Handmaid didn't comply with the four Commanders. 🤷♂️
While not surprising this is terrible for our country. It should have been 9-0.

This tracks.
Total immunity Roberts and Handmaid Barrett. Great, just great.
It took them a week to make a decision that should've been 9-0.
Meanwhile, Elon is rapidly and dismantling our government without any oversight whatsoever.🤬
Together we stand divided we fall!
The usual suspects issued a fiery dissent.
LETS ALL PRAY WE HAVE A BETTER SPREAD WHEN IT COMES TO CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES THAT ARE COMING.
Roberts is the devil.....

You guys really loathe that subset of humans, eh? Putting text into images and refusing to ALT them up. Every. Single. Time.
Pretty jerky, eh? Don't be like this. #UseAltText and make this an #AccessibleSky for all.
And thank you!! Haha! ❤️🙏
I'm certain it's a bot, and nothing more.
