How do you stop the most corrupt court in the US at the highest level?
Texas has already shown a way out of this, just ignore the Supreme Court. That’s what’s going to happen. In a democracy, there can’t be a supreme court giving those who abuse women the right to own guns or giving one single former president immunity from trying to become monarch of the country or taking away mifepristone a drug that is used in a variety of situations in women’s healthcare.
Chief Justice Roberts and his merry judges have lost their bloody minds.
It is nakedly corrupted and has zero legitimacy. No rulings made by this court should be treated as valid.
Clarence Thomas apparently kept falling asleep and wasn’t engaged at all for the decision to take on the Trump immunity case. Maybe life appointments were a bad idea.
This article is like 4 decades too late.
The time to stop it was in 2016. Now we have to live with the consequences.
They won’t be, because Democrats won’t even buck “Tradition” to get rid of the filibuster, much less add seats to the Supreme Court, which should have as many seats as their are Appeals Circuits.
We’re speeding towards the *Constitution is just a piece of paper* phase sadly.
>But the court’s greatest institutional accomplice is the media, which largely insists on covering the nine law shamans *as they wish to be covered*, instead of as the unelected, unaccountable poison that enfeebles the rest of American democracy. Just the other day, *The Washington Post* [ran an entire column](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/20/judge-political-party-president-trump-marcus/) on whether it’s “fair” to point out which party appointed the judges and justices who rule us. The column was inspired by a judge—[who wished to remain anonymous](https://ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics/politicians-in-robes-curious-case/), because these people are rank cowards—who was annoyed at being referred to as a Reagan-appointed judge, and complained to one of their media friends.
>Count me in the camp of American feminist activist Jane Addams, who said, “The cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy.” **The votes of nine people matter less to me than the votes of 330 million.** If everybody were allowed to vote, if everybody’s votes counted equally, if the county weren’t gerrymandered into an antidemocratic pretzel, the people and not the court would be the final arbiter of our problems.
The Republicans and Putin are fighting democracy and the populist vote with every dime they have and yes the media is complicit in not calling out their lies and hypocrisy. Instead they glorify it.
Only one way to do that. We need a super majority and the presidency in 2024. Like 60 plus Dems in the Senate and 230 plus on the house. Thats the only way out.
It’s truly amazing that anybody let alone the highest court in the land is running interference Trump. By every measure the fucker is a menace to our free society. It boggles the mind what these courts justices are thinking.
How about expanded to be more reflective of the number of circuit courts.
They fix this shit by quickly ruling him ineligible from elections. Then they take time to find that he has zero immunity. *fingers crossed*
The rule of law is no longer in effect in the United States. Noam Chomsky was right. It has devolved into a plutocracy.
The only way to save democracy is to destroy it. This is the same argument they use for rigging the primaries and censoring speech.
They might as well be holding Ruzzian flags.
For real! I like how Hawaii and some other state now, too, gave them the smack down on gun laws. They are out of control and obviously the tool of billionaire special interest groups. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
lol. Meanwhile dumdum libs still think the most effective protest is to not vote for Biden. That’ll put him in his place! Also say goodbye to Palestinians and Ukraine. Hope it’s worth it!
How can the Supreme Court be apolitical when the judges are picked by the president and politicians? And are for life? Its common knowledge that people get conservative over the years so its obvious that the apolitical part is just not true. Every one is political and judges can be too.
What’s amazing is they’re not even trying to be subtle about. First refuse to deal with the immunity issue because of course you’re not going to allow the president to act like a dictator and get away with any crime he wants to commit. Then do a 180 and actually address this just to allow Trump time to possibly win the election and pardon himself for all crimes. After he’s in that’s when they’ll say a president should not have total immunity because that is clearly non-democratic.
This is just a bullshit delay tactic, and everyone knows this.
Biden needs to expand the Court. But I don’t think democrats have the spine to make this move against the corrupt republicans. They still think everyone is playing by the rules.
Joe fucking Biden appoints 4 new Justices. Problem solved.
1. It blows up the stranglehold
2. It creates too many for the next president to just “add 7 more”
3. It makes a death or a retirement NBD compared to now
Lifetime appointments are a terrible idea.
>The Supreme Court Must Be Stopped
The GOP spent decades stuffing the SC with below par justices that could be controlled. There is very little that the Democrats can do besides expanding the size of the current court. The challenge with that is that the GOP will take that to the nth level next time they get in power.
