Jack Smith to Supreme Court: Don’t Become a Tool of Trumpian Delay

40 comments

1. >In his Supreme Court filing, Trump’s primary argument is that presidents have absolute and unfettered immunity from criminal prosecution for everything they do as president, which can “never be examinable by the courts,” and that courts are somehow constitutionally barred under Marbury v. Madison from second-guessing anything presidents do. Of course, Marbury said nothing of the sort.

2. Well, isn’t it already?

3. Too late. They already are.

4. Sam Alito: Hold my $1000 wine

5. We’re all getting a front row seat to watch how rich and powerful people use their resources to exploit the justice system and Trump’s supporters are begging for an encore.

   So much for populism. It was never a populist movement though, it was just disguised that way by a narcissistic demagogue.

   At any rate, this behavior is expected considering the blind devotion they show to their false idol.

6. “That sign won’t stop me because I can’t read”

   – Republicans on SCOTUS

7. They unanimously ruled in favor of him once, in spite of the 14th amendment being clear, and they persist in claiming “states decide” on other arguments.

   Don’t look to the Supreme Court for fair, sensible rulings in 2024.

8. This is exactly what they did with the 14th amendment disqualification case. Take the plainest of text with precedent and then twist it into some complete and utter bullshit for Trump that isn’t rooted in the Constitution, precedent, or even logic. But, they’re supreme, so that counts for something I guess. Anyone with a half measure of intelligence shouldn’t expect the supreme court to do the right thing here, the timely thing, or even the logical thing. The fact they took this case is an abomination to justice, the timeframe they took it in was just a “fuck you” to the country and it’s citizens that are powerless to do anything.

9. You make me laugh, Jack. With regards, Clarence Thomas.

10. And
    I’ll mm mm

11. I think the fix is in at the supreme court.

12. Judicial Capture.

13. Too late.

14. cut the poetry crap and just tell them to do their jobs

15. The Supreme Court, if they had a grain of sense, will realize that going along with Drumph now will cost them later. He HATES that they have any say. If elected, the Supreme Court, the entire lot of them, ought to realize he will utterly destroy any power they currently hold.
    Drumph only values yes-men. I urge every single Supreme Court judge, regardless of political affiliation to read what Drumph routinely opines about court persons that don’t agree with him. Feed this monster, and you will be his next meal.

16. Jack smith to Supreme Court : “you guys are being a bunch of tools.”

17. #THEY ALREADY ARE

    This is so fucked.

18. A memo and “sitting presidential immunity”. There is no justice. Just a fun little circus that ends with the orange dictator being the ringmaster.

19. They can’t fight their own nature

20. Next on Fox News! Jack Smith attacks Supreme Court Justices!

21. Jack Smith is playing by the rules, or at least the rules that were supposed to be using. He doesn’t seem too full. We understand that those rules don’t matter to team Trump and the corrupt judges in his pocket.

22. Is it just me or does Jack Smith look like he could also be daredevil?

23. Too fuckin late. Do something about it or sit the fuck down.

24. Too late

25. Appealing to the integrity of the Sinister Six?

26. Narrator: They are tool of Trumpian Delay

27. Supreme Court are full of tools lol

28. Too late

29. Can someone please tell me when it was decided that we’re no longer going to learn from our past mistakes?

30. The Supreme Court should see Trumps antic for what they are, delay tactics. If Trump’s counsel were putting forth unresolved legal issues in good faith, it would be far different.

31. Too late.

32. You cant expect a lawful society if these are your paragons of legal virtue.

    Its simply not possible to have a unchecked job for life body of people leading the judicial branch of government openly being swayed by billionaires with inducements and other bribes and expect people to respect the rule of law and their authority.

    When they act in this manner they are clearly operating as Trumps merkin not Supreme court justices.

    Either they are incompetent or corrupt.

33. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE to Supreme Court: Don’t be a Tool of Trumpian Delay.

    What a fkn putrid time we live in where most of the population on both sides of the aisle seem to think that Jack Smith is suing Trump.

    If Jack Smith decides to retire tomorrow, another person steps in. BASICS FKN CIVICS PEOPLE!

    This

34. Will the Court look after itself? If a president is allowed to send Seal Team 6 after his political rival, why not after those who disagree with him on the Supreme Court? And then work his way through the Senate to get the Supreme Court he wants.

35. That’s like asking Trump not to violate gag orders.

36. SCOTUS has already delayed the trial by at least 4 months to consider the ridiculous question of whether “absolute presidential immunity” from the rule of law is a thing.

37. They don’t give af what jack smith says

38. I remember how hyped this guy was to bring Trump down. Now he’s just another bum who thinks he can actually take down a rich person.

39. That ship has sailed unfortunately

40. How laughable.
