Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

Need a new court as this one is bought & paid for by the Federalist Society. The proposal that makes the most sense is to randomly assign a judge from each fed district to sit on the Sup Court for a year or two and then rinse & repeat. Makes it much more difficult to buy the court & less politicized

Rules only apply to democrats. “For my enemies, the law. For my friends, everything.” Ruling on procedure lets them off the hook-no need to uphold the constitution because it’s a mere procedural thing.Ts EO will be overturned years from now as the main issue gets slow walked thru the courts.

I would have to re-read the case to be sure but I don’t recall that the issue of nationwide injunctions was even raised in the student debt case. As I recall, it was decided on the merits, not procedural issues.

Well, they plan to not allow Dems back in power. Texas could raise the voting age to 25, and there would not be any state-level recourse for affected voters. Would be up to mayors or individual citizens. Which means the Constitution is now merely a suggestion.

Double standards and hypocrisy aren't logical fallacies to fascists, they are virtues. To enjoy for themselves what they deny others is beautiful to them. The purpose is dominance. Informing them that they're getting away with it brings them pleasure.

The number one thing the next Dem President has to do is add 4 justices to the SCOTUS so that each of the 13 Federal District Courts has a single Justice assigned. Adding 4 will unpack McConnells stealing and allow the unwinding of Roberts courts judicial activism.

My question is, who can officially call out the Supreme Court on this? Can the ACLU sue? I am of the belief that it still won't matter to this regime. They'll continue to railroad any rulings, but at least we should shine a light on it. ASAP. Also, I think civil war is coming...

The SC has an agenda. It favors fascism over democracy. I think we'll find that it favors stripping women/other groups of their hard-earned rights, incl heavy penalties for abortion/miscarriage, no right for women to own property, no no-fault divorce, no same-sex marriage & lots of other dark stuff.

These good points mean nothing but firing up Bluesky members. Talk is not going to fix things Chris. Massive protests is the only way now, sadly people probably harmed due to it! Social media is failing USA hard right now because people think making a post is their part in fighting this, it's not!

It is difficult to parse the shape of executive power that the Court thinks is correct. Regarding statutory interpretation (like student loans or the recent decision on EPA carbon regs) the Executive branch is hamstrung. With regard to broad questions of Constitutional import, it is unfettered. ?

Of course they would act in bad faith and apply a double standard… the Right Wing are at war In war you lie, cheat, deceive, gaslight and do whatever it takes to win and eradicate your opponent Why is this a surprise to anyone? The Right has been waging a constant Civil War in America for decades

SCOTUS hypocrisy is just politics. Time to take this issue into every election at every level of government emphasizing the how close every voter is to having their constitutional rights erased but not at the expense of the price of eggs, fuel, insurance etc.

This is about the money. We know that Thomas and Alito are corrupted as well as Kavanaugh. Comey Barrett is most likely compromised. They aren’t policing themselves. We should also hold their elite donors responsible for all this.

The system is wrong I. The USA to allow corrupt politicians to appoint corrupt and biased judges to the Supreme Court let alone any level court A pedophile is picking the Supreme Court judges ?? What the HELL ???

If we wondered whether Roberts was worrying more about SCOTUS legacy as the ultimate pillar of justice or his own personal power as the final conduit for Executive Autocracy, we need wonder no longer, look no further than his treatment of national injunctions against Biden and for Trump.

Thing is, this also eliminates the damage from drooling idiots like Judge Kaczmarek whose "decision" purported to ban Mifepristone nationwide from his catbird's seat in Texas. Take it to the bank: this will now be used far and wide by the cons as the rationale for why this decision is "not so bad".

This is what happens when nominees for the supreme court lie about their intentions and are believed. It’s what happens when judges no longer rule as neutral arbitrators but prefer to push an agenda they agree with. It’s what happens when justices are corrupted by wealthy conservative donors.

To be fair (cue the Letterkenny memes), the Court didn't make this ruling during the Biden administration because the Biden administration didn't present that defense. And that's because the Biden administration, despite the caterwauls of the GOP, didn't believe in an imperial presidency.

And the other side of the coin, if, somehow we ever have another democratic president, of which I am very skeptical, if that D president tries to use EOs as tRump has, this SCOTUS will find a way to shut that down quicker than shit thru a goose.

Since Congress has abdicated its legislative role in the Era of Trump, SCOTUS has decided to fulfill it and, in my opinion, is fulfilling it more than it is fulfilling its judicial role. It inappropriately is being political. This is not what the Founding Fathers and the Constitution envision.

These judges live in the right wing disinfo bubble just like their base. I wouldn't be surprised if Harlan Crow has them all living inside a Truman Show style domed city where every aspect of their surroundings is scripted. Or maybe jacked into the Matrix. IDK. These are not good people.

Does the hypocracy surprise anyone?? This is an overtly partisan court. We used to think of Justices as conservative or liberal. Today we righfully think of them as republican or democratic.

No. Judges are fair and follow the law or corrupt and distort or break the law for their corruptors. It’s not partisan the corruption. It’s plain corruption. It happens that one side practices it more, a lot more. To the point it’s difficult to imagine a non corrupt Republican politician.

The GOP (including the ultra-partisan HACKS on SCOTUS), has always had a policy of hypocrisy. If a rule is good for their party, fine--but if it suddenly becomes NOT good, it must be changed. Oh, Dems were about to score? Nope--move the goal posts! Black Prez SCOTUS nominee? Too close to election!

MAGA has infected the presidency, the congress, the senate, and the supreme court. US citizens are losing their rights. But we did this ourselves (speaking of those who were gullible enough to believe Trump's lies). The bigoted cockroaches have come out of the woodwork - so we have clean up to do.

SCOTUS’S decision in the universal injunction cases doesn’t really change things that much, as Justice Kavanaugh discusses in his concurring opinion. Nationwide injunctions against federal laws and executive orders can still be sought via class actions and the Administrative Procedure Act…

…And federal district court orders granting or denying an injunction in major cases will quickly become nationwide cases when they are brought to a court of appeals and then to SCOTUS.

6 of these Justices are MAGA, and will protect Trump, no matter what he does ! They are giving Trump a license to kill ! Also a license to steal These six need oversight ! They need accountability, and can’t be trusted to do the right thing, or support the will of the majority !

Trump’s legal team was smart enough to shift the issue from one they would lose to one they could win. Biden’s team wasn’t that smart. The SC decision will benefit Dems as much as Reps - if Dems can ever get elected again. (Tip: whining won’t win for them)

John Robert’s illegitimate Supreme Court is in the FELON’S Pocket. They aren’t interested in siding with or helping the “ Little People “ !!
