The Supreme Court of the United States Thread

[85SugarVol]

lol. It's just one election away. Always and forever. They know the SCOTUS is for life. The moment they can they will. They just need the can. And they will have it at some point.

Anyone who was actually serious about “Defending Democracy” should be proposing legislation to protect the voice of the Minority - by enshrining the Filibuster.

You can’t do that when you’re in the Minority.

Only the Majority can execute that.

Edit: or a coalition of principled individuals.

If you want to require they be there and hold the floor, I’m fine with that.

But there must be a mechanism in place to prevent simple majority rule.

Sweeping changes should be difficult to enact. Not with a 52-48 margin. Jmo.

Fire the SCOTUS, replace it with Russia's Federation Council, They're mainly the same thing, and the same results come out of both. They just rubber stamp who ever is in power, and/or has the most money.

Corruption, corruption, EVERYWHERE!!

More proof--as if any was needed--that Republicans are not ethical and do not care about corruption. The GOP is A-OK with it---it's how
that party rolls.

Separation of powers friend. How would you feel if the Supreme Court decreed term limits for Congress; or declared that the President couldn’t be over 60 years old?
Each branch sets its own rules.

Anyone have any thoughts on “associational standing”?

Turbo - don’t bother, no one cares.

I can only hope and pray the first justice they nominate to pack the court is named "Fudge".

It's shocking that SCOTUS has for many years basically enabled the corruption of its justices by calling it "personal hospitality."
You can allow yourself to be bought and influenced by rich people with a political agenda if you describe all the money they lavish on you--buy
you a luxury RV, buy a house for your mother, take you on numerous luxury trips, finance your crazy wife's high non-profit salary, etc---by
calling it "personal hospitality" and reporting it. Some justices understand the ethical implications of taking money from outsiders--and why wouldn't they?---but others are happy to be shameless grifters eager to be bought and influenced for cash.

Trump is going to be pissed

Now I can officially state Trump pushed anti Constitutional gun laws. people have been defending him for years saying that it hadn't been struck down yet so it couldn't be unconstitutional yet.

 

[Sandman 423]

Trump is going to be pissed

Because they struck it down, or because he can't have one

 

[utvolpj]

Because they struck it down, or because he can't have one

He's the one who wanted them banned

You have any thoughts on this? Is this a big deal, or more of a nothing burger?

A Republican lawyer has sued Corrupt Clarence Thomas for filing a fraudulent tax return in Virginia. He alleges
that Thomas failed to declare income from a discharge of indebtedness in 2005 when he got a loan of $267,000 from another of his rich
Republican friends and failed to repay "a substantial portion of that loan," according to a Senate investigation. Wow--what a surprise.

The lawsuit may not go anywhere as it apparently needed to be filed within six years of the supposed fraud. We'll see. But
it's always good to remind people of what a pathetic, corrupt grifter Clarence Thomas is.

Exclusive: Republican hits Clarence Thomas with. lawsuit over his taxes

Republican John Anthony Castro told Newsweek he is filing suit against Thomas alleging that the justice violated Virginia tax law.
