      The backlash from the dance with fascism better result in amendments to fix the court, on top of making corporations subordinate to living humans in another amendment.

      Capitalism only works with strong regulations to keep capital out of public services. Mind your own godamn business.

        Congress is the real problem in all of this. They’ve abdicated all of their power.

        Congress should have impeach Trump. They should have impeached at least Clarence Thomas for the blatant bribery. Merrick Garland should have been on the bench. They shouldn’t have allowed most of this.

        If there’s one defective branch of government, it’s Congress. They were supposed to be the balance vs the other two.

          If they feared voters and not donors, that gets solved quickly. They’re still gerrymandering because they dont want to have to listen to voters.

          Edit: I supposed I forgot to mention i mean that citizens united needs to be addressed specifically in an amendment to keep corporate and billionaire interests in check.

          Congress should have impeach Trump.

          They did, twice. Lot of good it did when all spineless sycophantic R’s vote against it.

    I remember when Roberts was nominated by W.

    He was a piece of shit… A young piece of shit and I knew we were fucked for decades.

    Regan > W > Trump

    The three worst presidents in history in order in terms of damage they have done.

    Although Trump is gunning for W’s spot.

      It was weird when Bush nominated him because until then, Bush had a list of completely awful pics for a variety of positions.

      So when the Roberts nomination came up, I looked at his credentials, and surprisingly, he was qualified for the Supreme Court!

      Oh… Chief Justice… no. Just… no. I had assumed (wrongly) that Roberts would just fill the vacancy and an established judge already on the court would be made Chief Justice.

      Nope. Not how it works.

      Andrew Johnson started this whole ball rolling by letting the Confederacy get away with it.

        Trumps already done that with COVID. The US had 50% of the COVID deaths worldwide. Totalling well over a million American citizens. Which is more dead Americans than from all the wars we’ve ever fought in combined.

    Hm, good thing no Democrat judge ever did something like outright stating they’re taking a side and ignoring the law, and also put in their opinion that their ruling won’t stand without law changes.

      Be an adult:

      List a single Democrat judge that has done this and how. Then compare it to the list provided by OP.

      This is called critical analysis. It will easily reveal a completely different answer than what you are implying.

      Since you’ve clearly never done this analysis yourself, you’ve likely trusted someone else to do it for you. Which allows you to be manipulated.

      Other people can’t tell you these results if you are willing to just do them yourself.

      So do it here and prove you aren’t just repeating what others told you.

      I’m sure your one example is much more relevant than the thousands of times it happened on the other side. Exactly the same. Yup. Totally logical and sane.

        If you want a perfect circlejerk and never to hear why youre wrong, I recommend going back to Reddit. You can be shocked along with the rest of Reddit when elections dont go the way you expect too.

              Yes, we heard all the propaganda already and it is why we have the conservative majority now who are using “originalism” AKA imaginary dead founding fathers’ feels to decide case law.

              It is always a projection. Reviewing all the supposed liberal case law the conservatives hate so much just shows the courts catching up to the times decades too late.

              In typical fashion the conservatives felt their imaginary way of life threatened so they created a propaganda campaign to frame these late to the game, but reasonable, decisions as left wing lunacy.

              This lasted for thirty years or longer but it eventually cumulated in getting multiple conservative extremist elected to SCOTUS. The liberal judicial activism was just a made up rallying cry to stack the court.
