I'm with you Jay.

"Makes for good reality TV" seems to be our governing principle :(

IDK why they aren't on a schedule either (other jurists as well) What's with taking 9 months to decide something? It doesn't take that long. justice delayed . . .

Not only that, but it seems as though they save the biggest cases for the very last day of the term every year. Like the odds for birthright citizenship being the last case announced are at least 70%

When a body such as SCOTUS, which sole authority is its credibility, which now has five morally and ethically corrupt members deciding partisan decisions which support those who have paid them off, it’s way past time for a reckoning.

I love when six Republicans issue random fatwas that throw our society into turmoil. They are appointed for life btw

Announcing which cases they will decide would affect the polymarket odds

The are literally trying to rewrite the Constitution into a right wing document.

I wish someone would write up and put into scope the crazy power the court has in deciding what cases it will hear each year. Does the Supreme Court of India just decide to block cases without explanation?

They have to wait for their compensation to be delivered

has anyone suggest renaming it to "the conniving little bitch court"

AMEN

They think they're fucking Beyonce

Or that oral arguments are not allowed to be filmed. What are they vampires?

I also think it is crazy that they think they should get to decide which cases are important for them to hear. These cases pertain to laws congress has passed. Congress should be the one to decide.

It needs to be expanded and it they need to have 10 year term limits.

Jay Willis entering his villain era (complimentary) and I am HERE for it!

It's like Roberts put together the set list for his SCOTUS band while leaving the 'hits' for last with no encore

While you guys aren't burdened with institutions as profoundly silly as we are here on Normal Island (the house of lords for example,) yous aren't as far removed from that ossified, deeply weird flavour of elitism as many of you like to think.

For cases of significant public interest, the SCC has an embargo process so counsel for the parties and the media can review the decision for an hour before it is publicly released

That's Bluesky and that's the court, both got y'all refreshing for scraps.

We’re lucky he’s right. Well unlucky, that’s the whole point, but still.

As a Brazilian: Not here. The Supreme Court's agenda is public and all sessions are televised. The chief justice has discretion to decide the docket but this is done well in advance. You can even subscribe to email notifications of specific cases.

We have seen this before:

Lifetime tenure is a FAILed policy. No longer than 15 years is sufficient...

I'm in this camp

One of life’s few absolutes…Mankind eventually corrupts everything it touches . Our Supreme Court’s turn was inevitable.

The whole sickly and corrupt institution needs a heavy dose of sunlight (investigate corrupt acts) and medicine (impeachment/ removal/ disbarment) followed immediately by a massive expansion of the SC and federal benches. Half measures have and will fail.

When it was a balanced Court it wasn't a joke. Some of the most monumental laws were tested and were found true by the Supreme Court of the United States. The present imbalance has brought into focus several issues. Ethics, money accountability.

The Court should change its procedures to make the jobs of on line influencers easier.

It's especially self-important for an institution which has rendered itself incapable of issuing binding opinions. Why should I lurk over a browser tab just to read their corrupt and illegitimate advisory opinions?

It’s a sign of decay that Congress doesn’t slap them back into the 21st century

A high-stakes lottery where the jackpot is your fundamental autonomy and the house always wins.

I always know when a decision is handed down by seeing how many streets they block off and how many police cars around those streets are parked w flashing lights. It really speaks volumes about how they view the rest of us. @thehillishome.com

Yeah who do these fuckers work for? Oh yeah themselves and corporations.

"Umpires/refs who think the fans are here to see them" is DEFINITELY a thing

This sounds like a job for Frank Drebin...https://youtu.be/x-S-eeInJVk?si=bQFfqs7acWXEVmDv

So the umpires call the game and sing the anthem too? Ain't that something.

Controlling the timeline alone was abuse enough in the immunity case. The govt needs greater control of the pace. By the time of their selective corrupt manipulation of the "law", they didn't even have to do it! The clock had already run out!

:))

Calling bawls and shrieks.

🎯🎯🤬

Because sure, we "Can't know how they'll decide" but of course in a real sense, we know how they'll decide on anything to a high confidence interval, so if we can see on the docket, "on X day they'll decide on a case that concerns Y precedent, they'll probably decide Z, how are we gonna react"?

I assume this court issues them strategically in the way press releases for unethical, immoral actions are released Friday at 459pm. I assume this court issues decisions with a response meter of anger/incredulity in mind. "How many injudicial decisions can we get away with in one day?"

Why should we expect them to be bound by traditions when they aren't even bound by facts or law?

How else can an atmosphere of hunger games be installed with minimal effort. One has to factor in the priorities.

Adherence to norms and decorum rituals is proof of institutional integrity… definitely not just cosplaying…

they should have patreon tiers for early access

But what would Robe Sniffers have to talk about in June?

promises made promises kept

I am imagining a normal judge making her docket all hang out in person waiting for her rulings on motions but not knowing which are coming that day versus next month

SCOTUS is always high on their own supply. They don't have to adhere to ethics like the rest of us rubes, because they are so wise and all-knowing and bribe taking. "WE will make sure WE are ethical and no one else will get to" sounds like a perfect motto for criminals.

I say we reject their rulings.

like if they were somehow only focused on expanding individual rights instead of stifling them that would be one thing.

They are accountable, if Congress wants them to be, and repeatedly Congress has the power to respond to the decisions. Again, if it wants to. The surprise stuff is silly, except maybe in a few cases if investments are involved and people can monetize that.

😂😂😂👏👏

Secrecy is an integral part of purported mystique.

When the court can be bought by religious bigots to rule however it best serves a senile former TV game show host, it becomes our duty to ignore it...

LOL. I never thought about it until you couched it that way !

And at this point, you have to wonder if SCOTUS may gut the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (they've basically weakened parts of it already). Given that they gutted Section 2 of the VRA back in late April, they may be going after that next.

And we'll do it on a shadow docket and exempt it from stare decisis. So FU.

Scotus is corrupt

This is how it should be done curia.europa.eu/site/jcms/d2...

Supreme...my ass!!!

We should abolish all the bullshit customs that help enforce the perception that they are somehow above reproach
