The Supreme Court is utterly diseased. We must flip the senate, block all Trump nominees, kill the filibuster, elect a Dem POTUS, and pass a law adding four seats to remediate the racist cancer on the bench.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way towards anyone, but I hope I get to see the day John Roberts is humiliated to his diapers. I know karma’s a bitch, but I’m owning this one.

Now that precedent can be overturned, a Democratic leaning SCOTUS can overturn today’s decisions in 2029. So we won’t have to wait long. And all today’s appalling rulings do is energize Democrats to vote.

So Trump and Patel must have dirt on those six justices. How many do you suppose visited Epstein Island? Or have something fishy in their background? This majority of Supreme Court justices just keeps giving Trump more and more power while leaving less fand less for the lower courts.

There's a great podcast about how the billionaires worked silently for decades to take over the Supreme Court and implement their very unpopular policies. Citizens United was just the beginning. This was all planned after the Powell Memo and our billionaire-owned media didn't inform the public.

I don’t think you need 4 additional justices. Alito and Thomas could be impeached for corruption. Robert’s might also be in that boat, and we could always renew the scrutiny of Kavanaugh’s past behavior. That would get us to between a 5-4 and 7-2 majority. But 9-4 or 11-2 would be fine with me. 😉

Well off topic, but whatever happened to screenshots of Eric Trump (allegedly) trying to get in on betting rigged UFC fights? Barely scratched the legacy media surface and out of the news cycle within a day. Corruption has became normalized and tolerated.

Agree. Reminder Pillar One-GOP's Project 2025. "---Pillar One---“playbook” of teams---transition plans that would gut most of the agencies Americans rely on --- independent Department of Justice. Gone---“Day One” of a new administration---recruits---into “Acting” or temporary positions of gov---"

Because they're eating the cats and dogs, don't you know? So awful for the people of Springfield, Ohio, and elsewhere. How many seniors will lose their home health care aides? The racism pipeline from the WH to SCOTUS flows unabated.....😡

I really hope something works but a lot of us around the world are seeing how the Supreme Court Justices are being bought and paid for by lobbyists and racists. The system won't work as long as each judge can be paid by people wanting a legal decision. Tough situation sadly.

6 not 4 why do Democrats consistently want to stop just past the point of winning - you add 6 seats to account for rogue justices just like we have had rogue Democrats in the House and Senate for a gajillion years

I also think 2 Supreme Court justices should be replaced every 2 years ensuring each Presidency has an equal number of justices appointed (in the event of a death or resignation an appointment only fills out remainder of a term which of course means term limits)

Today's six-traitor SCOTUS majority is doing exactly what the GOP/right wing spent decades carefully manufacturing it to do - facilitate its long-term campaign to take complete control of the U.S. Only White, CIS, fundamentalist Christian, rightwing males need apply.

And stop all of this bullshit inter-fighting. I get that there are major differences and bad feelings between moderates and the left but none of that shit matters with the court in its current configuration.

If the Dems take back the House and Senate, I'm sure they can impeach AT LEAST 3 justices for bribery. Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh come immediately to mind. I'm sure Roberts and his wife can be investigated as well.

Nope, they need to be removed NOW as they are currently performing crimes against our cotus. They DO NOT follow the law. They lie, and they do not serve a democratic America. IMPEACH-REMOVE-HOLD TO ACCOUNT-JAIL.

Why don’t the “TWOS” (Those With Out Spines) like Squeaker Johnson, simply admit that they disagree with CorrupTrump on almost every issue? Then admit the reason they act in this manner, is they’re literally afraid of his supporters and afraid of losing their worthless jobs. Signed, Naive in GA

The Latrine Court Six is racist Pure and simple They have no hearts Just heavy heads hanging from the evil that fills them. Our mission isn’t over. We have to vote blue to remove the ruthless heartless evil criminally minded spirits who currently hold power over the people illegally.

It pains me to agree with you, but the levers of corrupt power are not going to change hands. I don't know what a redo would look like. I'm thinking in apocalyptic terms: you know, calderas, plagues, conflagrations...or more peaceably, the good folk just leave and Canada and Mexico open their arms.

I recently read the book Dark Money and the billionaires have corrupted the system so deeply that unless very serious changes are made, nothing will change. Citizens United needs to be overturned, tax - free foundations governed by these same billionaires need to be disallowed. So many things.

They are allowed to skip out on taxes to foundations (which they directly or indirectly control) then those foundations write "grants" to their political interests. It has been going on since the early 1900s and got much worse in the 1970s onward.

I have thought about this for a long time and I can actually see the House voting for an impeachment, but I just can't see the votes coming from the Senate to remove them. It would be nice if they would step down from embarrassment.

When you can predict most of the Supreme Court’s decisions even though you don’t have any legal expertise, the Supreme Court is broken and is functioning as an arm of the Republican Party. We must expand the Court to rebalance it, or it will destroy any other reforms we try to legislate.

We have quite a few wins but, another loss feels like a nuclear bomb. I know we are "winning" on several fronts, but it's getting harder to remind ourselves of those wins. This is devastating and it's going to take a long time to fix it. It's been 4 years since Roe V Wade.

From the rally at the statehouse in Boston: We are all asked today by the TPS community to step up: call your US Senator and push them to pass S.4814 (extension of TPS).  Call everyone you know, in every state around the country: we need to call them and ask them to do the same.

Several of the right-wing justices lied during their hearings. Can they not be removed from the SC for that? I'm so tired of these people lying without paying a penalty. Such contempt for our country.

The demon court has spoken. You can tell the 6 Trumpers feel liberated now. They no longer have to pretend to be fair, unbiased or lawful.

Watching from a far 🇦🇺 praying you can win the midterms 🙏 you can make sure it free and fair election Then yes anything is possible Wont lie im scared that the election process has already been compromised I wish America had the one person one vote that we have here

I struggle to find the words for how vile these pathetic excuses for the LAW are! They HAVE NO SHAME and their souls are corrupt! None of his appointments should even be eligible since his presidency is fraudulent and illegal!

The ideas grouped here work as Swiftian parody — but without reckoning with the Roberts Court, as we’re all reminded again this morning, none of them can stick. Gotta address the rot in our constitutional structure before all else, and specifically addressing SCOTUS has to happen first.

There's a better chance Trump will run and win a 3rd term I'm sorry to say, regardless of the Constitution. Democrats are more concerned with losing their political game than wanting to actually do the right thing for the people. I have zero hope they will try any of these things.

It's more likely that Democrats will try to work with Republicans in the hopes that they will bring them back to the political game and try to bring things back to before Trump between them. Schumer, Jeffries and Fetterman all prove they are not ready to let go of the old system.

How do we convince the Harris & Hillary protest nonvoters to vote for whoever the Dem candidate is, if it’s not their favorite? They’ve gotten us this nightmare twice!

That's the problem, every new Democratic administration has to spend the bulk of their energy and capital cleaning up the mess they inherited. Republicans turn on a dime, loudly objecting to the free wheeling deficit spending or strong executive actiond they just supported, and the public forgets.

the very first thing they should do is go after maga and it's backers and unleash a furious hunger to destroy them and they need to seize the global assets of anyone connected to the trump regime, make the it cost the billionaires everything only then will they stop trying to take over government

My concern is that even if a judge orders this asshole to mail our ballots, that trump will ignore the court and sabotage mail ballots anyhow. He’s got a judge on the 3rd circuit who told DoJ lawyers to tell the courts to fuck off, and he’s deploying more election deniers to the bench.

If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. That was a non-binding partisan controlled referendum that Congress does not even recognize. On top of that no referendum in Puerto Rico's history is ever shown statehood winning when turnout exceeds 66%. Also 14% boycotted so it was really 49%

Yet the 2024 election and referendum has numerous instances of election fraud and rigging (which the two Pro-USA parties openly admit to) that the DOJ made disappear. Again openly.

Joe Biden could have added more seats but chose not to. Joe Biden could have had the DOJ start investigations into Trump but chose not to. I agree with you but we wouldn't be going through all this now if the Biden administration didn't drop the ball!

Removal would require a massive and very unlikely change in Senate composition, but impeachment in the House is totally possible. Sometimes history requires that the facts be investigated and recorded. And who knows? Maybe the facts create the conditions necessary for the required sea change.

Every ruling from the MAGA court has to be vacated and retried. I have no idea how it could be done, but we can't just let all this garbage stand. No doing so would be like letting the Confederacy's court decisions dictate US legal precedence after the civil war. It's just absurd and evil.

I am curious though. How much more treason the US people will accept before the obvious reality that we have been coup'd sets in.

The solution is expand the court to 15 justices total. Then expand the number of courts of Appeal to 15 with a total of 207 judges and 109 District Courts with a total of 782 judges. We can call it the "Judiciary Modernization Act of 2029" and push through EVERY nominee in a single vote.

I think it's possible. Keep an eye out on how many republicans are leaving for other jobs or appointments. He loses power every day, and can't run again making him a lame duck. A lot of GOP politicians see the writing on the wall.

It’s not just the bench. We need a constitutional convention to excise fascism from the U.S. permanently, along with the mechanisms it abuses for its purposes. Much like … a cancer.

I'm now getting very, very worried about the birthright citizenship case. The current SCOTUS majority has unmistakably told us they care nothing about legal precedent, the rule of law, or the Constitution.

I’d prefer for the corrupt justices to go on trial Along with the entire fascist regime, every single pedophile in the Epstein files, and all of the complicit politicians - from either party - that participated in the atrocities committed. I probably won’t live to see the tribunals.

I think we could impeach Clarence Thomas and make a really good case that he's acted improperly in a financial sense. Maybe Alito too. Impeaching guys and removing them due to corruption is a better precedent to set rather than adding seats. But adding seats is also a viable plan.

I wrote above: We are all asked today by the TPS community to step up: call your US Senator and push them to pass S.4814 (extension of TPS).  Call everyone you know, in every state around the country: we need to call them and ask them to do the same.

The better solution imo is to retire the entire SCOTUS with a 3yr term limit, and have a new one constituted from 2 randomly selected Appelate Judges (26 total) who will serve 3yr terms. 9 will be randomly selected to hear each case. Ensures maximum diversity and eliminates part bias.

While I'm not opposed to any of those things, the first step would be to investigate Thomas and Alito (for starters ) for tax evasion.... there is more than enough evidence to launch such an investigation. Another approach would be stripping them of their law licenses....

Someone please explain how the Supreme Court thinks this is okay. The immense cruelty of this is beyond my understanding, shattering what I thought and hoped someone in authority would do to make things right. Once again, I’ve been proven wrong.😔

I get that. One day, laws will matter again, and truth will triumph over lies and deception. I have to believe we’ll learn from this, make the changes we need, and avoid repeating the same mistakes. I just have to trust that someday, goodness will return. Standing together #VoteBetter

We must stand together. We’ve been conditioned to worship at the altar of extreme individualism. Collective ideas and actions are powerful antidotes to this vicious timeline.

The original Supreme Court had 6 justices (1 per circuit) for about 4 million Americans. Today there are 9 justices for 13 circuits and 360 million Americans. The Court is too small to be representative and a few right-leaning justices have too much influence. Supreme Court reform is long overdue

RACIST GHOULS are running America into the dirt!! A #PedoPotus is destroying our democracy with a hand picked Corrupt Theocracy at SCOTUS and a Complicit Republican Congress of Traitors and Thieves

So Trump deports them to a a bloodbath. We lose more population, we lose their work here, the taxes they pay, their educated children, no contributions to Medicare and Social Security. But, Trump gets rid of people he hates because of color of their skin. Who will he deport next?

That's the fix for now, but it's only a temporary solution. There needs to also be a binding code of ethics, and complete reform (which will very likely require a constitutional amendment) to something like a rotating jury duty system (removing political bias), & ban judges from party affiliation.
