What's next? From today: "Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” “In sadness, I dissent.” “With deep disillusionment, I dissent.” What’s next?

So genuine question: Where can we go from here and how do we rebuild this court? It seems like it gets worse and worse each ruling; I’m not a constitutional lawyer by any means, so I am not as informed about laws as I would like to be. I just am more and more fearful for country..

SCOTUS has been in his pocket since the immunity decision so don't expect them to keep him in check. Now they are allowing ICE to continue racially profile....where will they stop? It's a matter of people catching up to all three branches...are corrupt now. People need to rise and take it back.

Need to hold SCOTUS accountable for the damage they have done by tipping the scale of power in favor of the executive branch It’s obvious, SCOTUS has been bought by certain billionaires and show extreme bias and now racism in their decisions Taking away our checks and balances FK republicans

Nobody is coming to save us. Not the courts, congress or media, the rule of law (lol)…. The people either rise up or we continue to sink into whatever two-bit authoritarian bullshit this is. I’m not hopeful. Americans are generally disengaged, uninformed and too busy playing bills to pay attention.

"With utter disgust at the level of corruption in the John Roberts SCOTUS, its complete disregard for the US Constitution, and its blatant anti-American and anti-democracy decisions, I dissent"

CJ Roberts seems to have taken the view that the people elected Trump, so SCOTUS will let them have what they voted for. He seems to agree that "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

What’s next is that she will be sending these dessent opinions from an exile country somewhere full authoritarianism is really here now we can all play the game that it’s not but it’s here 100%.

It must feel an extra level of betrayal to those who served in the Military... To watch the freedoms they risked their personal well-being for, to be taken away, day by day, ruling by ruling... Especially at the behest of a Draft Dodger.

It's time for the three dissenters on the trump court to drop the bullshit collegiality. Expose the gang from the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society for the charlatans they are. And shut the government down or get rid of Schumer.

sotomayor, kagan and brown jackson should resign. all the 'i dissent' b.s accomplishes nothing. they are lending credibility (their own) to an institution that is utterly corrupt they are powerless, they can not unrot the court, they cannot save anyone or diminish the damage

I’ve thought about this myself... bsky.app/profile/suan...

Sotomayor has such a way of signing off on her dissents, I hope she continues to hone them to a razor’s edge. “Wondering what the fuck you people are doing, I dissent.” “Looking forward to saying I told you so, I dissent.” “I share the bench with six political prostitutes, and I dissent.”

In another era I imagine the 6 SCOTUS would be troubled by the continued 6-3 rulings,even try to reconcile & understand the other 3? & compromise?Now I can only see the 6 chortling with laughter about screwing those 3 & so many of the rest of us.How horrible it must be to face those 6 ea day.

Thank you. Yes, agreed. The remaining 3 judges are doing everything in their power to stop this. As people even here are bashing the partisan rulings of the corrupted court, are they forgetting these courageous 3 judges are publicly dissenting and privately arguing in favor of democracy?

What's next? Accelerating violence against non-whites, that will lead to violence against ICEstapo, that will lead to more excesses in power abuse until we finally win. At which point there must be a serious reckoning, Nuremberg-style.

Every day I go on Bluesky to keep up with all the horrible things the Trump family and administration are doing. Then I rejoin my “real” life where noone is really grasping what is happening. Am I crazy? Is someone going to save us? Is it time to fight? This stalemate cannot continue. What do we do?

I demand that our Democratic leaders confront the issue that has become the Supreme Court and discuss what they intend to do about the traitors amputating our freedoms like drunken civil war surgeons. Impeachment must be discussed!

The only way out of this in my uneducated opinion is to impeach and arrest pedofuhrer trump and get his evil little GQP klan of pedophile fiends too! Get control of our Courts and Military again! Kick his bonespurs out from under him! We might actually get the truth from trump from inside a cage!

We remove and denounce those from the Supreme Court bench that were appointed by a traitor who sent a mob to murder elected officials We remove/denounce the judge whose wife actively participated in the fraud that lead to the treason of 1/6/21 Then we prosecute and hang Donald Trump for treason

It is inevitable. If those we elected continue to fail, or worse, like the GOP, join in on the treason. We will have to take back Our government. History shows us the way.

PRIMO LEVI: "We are slaves, deprived of every right, exposed to every insult, condemned to certain death, but we still possess one power, and we must defend it with all our strength for it is the last – the power to refuse our consent". - from Levi's autobiography, 'The Periodic Table'

I kinda wish she had written, "Rather than stand by idly while my Republican colleagues cut down constitutional freedoms, I dissent." We need less passive voice!

A lot of talk and no action from the Democrats. When Trump lost the election, he mobilized his base and they attempted an insurrection. Democrats sit around grumbling. No one gives a fuck about grumbling.

TRUTH. TRUTH. TRUTH - really unvarnished TRUTH. Everywhere all the time so his lies are drowned out by truth from HISTORY - Teddy Roosevelt was a racists (good qualities, too but a racist); JFK was a womanizer ooooohhhhh Epstein used girls to blackmail American men for the KGB (published ages ago).

Justice Kavanaugh justifies profiling of Latinos because of “demographic realities”. How about we profile this reality: Per US federal sentencing data for 2021: 93.6% of sexual abuse offenders were men. • 95.4% were United States citizens.
