Oh this is so definitely going to happen.

cannot emphasize this enough. the currency of any judicial system is--must be--its legitimacy. you cannot design a functional democratic judiciary artificially propped up by anything else. this court has molested and annihilated the very concept of its legitimacy, then salted the earth beneath it.

no.

it cannot be said enough, and should be shouted from the rooftops: this is a fake legal issue that's been backstopped by on-demand scholarship from academics who are part of the same project as the conservative justices. the "authority" they will cite is no better than citing AI slop.

the meaner I am to people on the right, the more they kinda like me there is a lesson here

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

this is The Way

when he’s right he’s right

My head nearly fell off. The actual Minister for Health said this? m.independent.ie/irish-news/t...

Possibly the Dems' worst, most out-of-step-with-the-moment, centrist flop of a candidate. Also, about as bad as can possibly be on Israel/Palestine, in terms of being a willing apologist for nearly any Israeli cruelty.

lol

purge the judiciary

I don't think we can really restore liberal democracy with any long term resiliency unless we execute, uh, a lot of people

Sensing a pattern

i mean christ, what is there even to say

Don't expand SCOTUS. DESTROY its power. Congress can eliminate its appellate jurisdiction & give it to another court--one that it creates specifically for that purpose, with terms limits, enforceable ethics rules & 99% of cases heard by panels, strongly incentivizing narrow case-focused rulings.

1) Hard not to call this "game over." Bleak bleak bleak BLEAK. 2) lol Ellisons eat shit.

it's good that this is out there so that all of Europe can see exactly what they are dealing with: a fascist dictatorship aligned with the enemies of humanity

Trump Is Furious Over ‘Bullshit’ Media Coverage About His Age, Mental Decline ‘He is sensitive to being compared, even if not explicitly, to Sleepy Joe,’ a Trump adviser tells Zeteo. zeteo.com/p/trump-furi...

SPLIT IN HALF? The boat was capsized and SPLIT IN HALF? I got nothing folks. Trials. Prison. Everyone. If you told me this was a psy-op to make me rethink my moral opposition to the death penalty, I would at least have to think hard about you being right.

We have to seize the organs of public narrative formation. I'd been reluctant to accept it, but we just have to do it if we want to reverse any of this. We need temporary control over social media algorithms to restore democratic cultural norms and promote social progressivism and multiculturalism.

“What’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

lmao reddit

lower courts should conclude that opinions issued in bad faith are not binding in nature

The actual reasoning, of course, is the Roberts court thinks racial gerrymanders should be legal, and that GOP power outweighs the text of legal statutes. But they appealed to the worst of Lawyer Brain. You're never allowed to call BS, and must treat bad faith as good, no matter how obvious it is.

Committing atrocities is a loyalty test and binds you together with others who have done the same, severing other bonds of care and loyalty. The atrocity literature highlights this over and over.

I don't think the Justices understand the extent to which they are playing with fire. The more they do this, the more District Courts will engage in open disrespect of the Supreme Court, because what other response is there to open disrespect directed at them? That's bad for the Judiciary, period.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

🚨 I am hearing from multiple sources that the EU Commission is announcing its first DSA fine tomorrow against X on ad transparency, blue check & dark pattern, and researcher access to data. The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros." Elon about to get big mad.

not a legitimate court. depose them.

as a consumer attorney who works with low-income consumers I think anyone who signs up for BeastFinance should be homo sacer specifically in regards to antifraud and consumer protection laws

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?

sex is, in fact, metaphysically incidental and irrelevant, and the archetypes handed down in Scripture *are* conventional and changeable, not based on nature or permanent. none of this entails denying that bodily realities are made by the good God as manifestations of divine wisdom hope this helps

Hakeem Jeffries Calls For Execution Of Central Park Five

i keep screaming this from the rooftops and it seems like Dems just simply could not care less. you think the brain-rotted, billionaire-owned beltway press is bad? try consuming news in spanish

If a cop pulls me over and confiscates my drugs, is that police brutality? If not, how can you say it would be police brutality if they instead pulled me over and shot me dead?

Sternhell once again hits a home run.

I don't know about you, but I welcome everyone to read through this thread and see who is actually making an argument and who is attempting to dance around actual policy implications by trotting out the same idiocy national populists think will somehow restore prosperity to the postwar Golden Age.

so rufo endorses open borders for economic immigration?

Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

No one really seems to want to talk about the fact that Russia is already engaged in a war with NATO. Article V should have already been invoked by multiple members given the airport drones & fighter airspace violation attacks.

Guy who supports a set of policies that have currently led Labour to bleed support: "yeah i'm a sober realist MAKING HARD DECISIONS"

“The walk is finished, the miles are behind me, but the mission is still ahead of us,” Father Gary said at an interfaith event in NY. “My feet may rest, but my spirit cannot rest—not while immigrant children cry alone, not when families are torn apart … [and] treated as anything less than human.”

can we get them down to 0

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
