"The Court has lurched so far rightward that Barrett’s views are sometimes moderate in comparison, but that doesn’t mean she’s liberal or will consistently work to stop Trump’s worst excesses. It likely does mean, though, that she represents the best possibility for liberal outcomes at the Court."

In a rare show of unity, all nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court appear likely to side with a heterosexual woman in a case of "reverse discrimination." “We’re in radical agreement today” Justice Neil Gorsuch said. Read more from @USAToday
#Republicans expect to #confirm even more #SupremeCourt #justices if #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump #wins.
#GOP #senators anticipate that in a second term, Trump would have at least one #SupremeCourt #vacancy to fill. #Democrats hope that #prospect will #motivate their #voters this fall.
NYC Bar Association released a report on Tuesday asserting that #Congress has #constitutional authority to establish binding ethics rules for #SupremeCourt, urging lawmakers to create new mechanisms for holding Justices accountable. The report recommends the formation of a Judicial Investigation Panel and an Office of the Inspector General for Supreme Court, citing recent revelations of #ethical #noncompliance by #Justices that have eroded public confidence in the Court. https://www.nycbar.org/reports/the-supreme-court-needs-a-mandatory-and-enforceable-code-of-ethics/

So I think it’s time that President #Biden added four more #justices on the #SupremeCourt to match the federal district court count of 13. In these four people should be someone #indigenous, an #immigrant, someone who was an #educator or medical professional at some point and someone who did not go to Yale or Harvard.
@wdlindsy I know #Biden has to be diplomatic and not call out any specific #SCOTUS #Justices by name, but we should.
There are several Justices who don't have scandals. But #ClarenceThomas and #SamuelAlito have multiple questionable benefits from wealthy benefactors who have interest in #SupremeCourt outcomes even if they aren't specifically on the list appearing before the Court. Plus both of their spouses are deeply involved in #MAGA movement BS.
It's frustrating to some extent because in attempting to avoid being bombastic, some politicians and press use general terms like "the Supreme Court" when there are specific Justices misbehaving. It happens with "Congress" instead of "House Republicans" too.
Why #YaleLaw Is So Good at Producing Reactionaries Like #JDVance. The tiny, liberal program accounts for a surprising number of #conservative #politicians and #SupremeCourt #justices. unpaywalled https://archive.is/VmzgA#selection-1357.0-1363.114 #constitution #democracy #courts #legalresearch #justice #reactionaries #GOP #MAGA #federalist society #heritagefoundation

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
DRAG THEM QUEEN!!!
#Project2025 is the #DeepState.
It seeks not to #deconstruct the present #AdministrativeState, but to replace it and #reconstruct another one with loyalists vetted by the creators of the Project (not by Trump).
Once all of that is in place, #Trump should stay away from windows and also parse the facial expressions of #SupremeCoupt #Justices very carefully, because the disdain for Trump will eventually show on their faces.
>> #Bribe-fattened #SCOTUS #Justices, as part of the #secureSocialElites, have turned the #SupremeCourt into a #venalPublicOffice.
We have already seen Supreme Court Justices #ClarenceThomas, #SamuelAlito, and #BrettKavanaugh bought by wealthy benefactors.
Without a #wealthTax, social secure elites like #LeonardLeo and #HarlanCrow can effectively pass Supreme Court seats down to their children.
And SCOTUS will make it legal to resell them to 3rd-parties just like in olden times. Splendid!
#Bribe-fattened #SCOTUS #Justices, as part of the #secureSocialElites, have turned the #SupremeCourt into a #venalPublicOffice by ruling that #Corruption Law did not apply to tips, gifts, and payments meant to reward actions taken by state and local officials.
They did this by distinguishing after-the-fact rewards for #officialAction from before-the-fact bribes.

#Trump, #GOP, and the corrupt #SupremeCourt #Justices will nod in agreement with this belligerent belching by loathsome #ElonMusk, but REMEMBER it is #SCOTUS who ultimately decides who's a #Traitor and what constitutes #TraitorousActs.
When #SamuelAlito's wife flies the #USFlag #UpsideDown or when #ClarenceThomas' wife incites & partakes in an #insurrection against US, they wouldn't be held traitors, but if you oppose a sham bill by #MikeJohnson, you could be #executed
#SupremeCourt #PresidentialImmunity decision is so dangerous because the #RightWing #SCOTUS #Justices made it with FULL knowledge of historical precedent and #Trump's well-known #penchantForViolence in name of #officialAction.
#LouisXVI of #France repressed riots and #protests of 1775, known as the #FlourWar, by deploying 25000 troops and making an example out of 2 rioters — one in 20's and another, a teen — by publicly executing them in Place de Grève.

After 4 decades of failed #Republican #TrickleDown, #RightWing #SCOTUS justices ruled #homelessness a crime.
Present conditions in America are disturbingly similar to those of pre-Revolutionary #France under #LouisXVI, whether it's #migrants (not same as #immigrants), #inflation, #poverty, or better-off people like #LeonardLeo, #HarlanCrow, corrupt #SupremeCourt #Justices and their spouses gaslighting us into believing that "all this is evidence of increasing #moralDepravity."

..."The next #President is likely to appoint two to four new Supreme Court #Justices, and so far, Trump's appointees on the Supreme Court have significantly harmed families by overturning Roe v. Wade — eliminating a precedent of 50 years and restricting freedom of choice. They have also damaged America's envi"...
They think calling for Trump to drop out would make them look foolish now that the #Republican Party has devolved into a dangerous #cult. But a demand for #Biden to drop out might actually happen — so that’s savvy, right?
Except maybe the dangerous cult is the more important crisis, especially when it carries a printed guide to #dictatorship and holds six #justices in its back pocket.

>> 3. The federal budget deficit will be used to excuse a rape of social security, postal services, the VA, medicare, public health & education
Have these billionaires not read history?
This level of exploitation, oppression, and the shameless celebration of aristocracy among #SupremeCourt #justices can and will eventually fuel social unrest of the kind that led to the violent #FrenchRevolution.
#CRINK partnership will be elated if that happens, but US billionaires?
Laws that punish #homeless people simply for being homeless are ruled to be #constitutional.
Somehow the #MAGA #justices just ruled that #dehumanization of people and taking away their #CivilRights fall within the boundary of the #US #BillOfRights Make that make sense.
