  2. That is what they are doing . They might as well come out and say Trump is king . This court was more offended by student loan forgiveness than the president not upholding due process

  3. This (illegitimate) SCOTUS is merely a subsidiary of the fascist billionaires who bought and installed them.

  6. This sucks because we’re not even seeing thoughtful debates out of the SCOTUS anymore. The conservatives are simply derelict of duty at this point…even ignoring the constitution itself, the very thing they swore to uphold and honor. It doesn’t get anymore clear cut than upholding due process.

  7. And this is true they all should be impeached they’re corrupt of highest order

  8. It must be so disheartening being a liberal judge and having no power to do anything about this shit.

    I feel mostly bad for Jackson. Got sweared in 2022 and will now be a lame duck judge for lord knows how long.

  9. Just start name dropping shit on the conservative justices in your dissent. Call Thomas “The RV King.” Air their personal laundry. Every time refer to Alito, say, “whose wife allegedly decided to fly the US flag upside down in protest of fair elections…” Call them the ultimate asskissers and liars. There is little other power the minority justices have.

  10. Someone with a backbone, thank you for doing the right thing

  12. Is it really rewarding and not just being complicit in?

  13. Didn’t they just agree like last week that those being sent to El Salvador do deserve due process? How does that square with kidnapping people to foreign third countries without due process? Wtf.

  14. I’m so glad she’ll be around for awhile. When people say their vote doesn’t matter they need to be reminded how important the Supreme Court is and that they hold office for the rest of their lives.

    Sending immigrants to shitholes like South Sudan and Libya is cruel and unusual punishment. We’re essentially sentencing people without due process to horrible prisons in impoverished countries where they don’t speak the language.

    It makes me wonder what we have become.

  15. She’s right. We have deported citizens without due process. But as we know he keeps doing a lot of other illegal stuff too, like ignoring the function of our congress.

  16. Honestly… at this point, I feel like Sotomayor should just write for all of her dissenting opinions: “This court is no longer capable of proper adjudication. It is compromised by political interests and its rulings are not valid.”

  17. Well Sotomayor you are the only one talking. No media picking it up

  18. How can the government even argue they are the “worst of the worst” when they are given no damn due process? Do these idiots think blowing up the law is fine because “their guy” is the one doing it? Like the damn scorpion and frog.

  22. Can we keep the immigrants and send the MAGAts to South Sudan? Just hand them weapons, armor, 500 rounds of ammunition, point them towards warlords, and tell them to make Trump proud. So many problems solved at once.

  23. The court should have been torn up and started from anew when they said presidents dont have to follow the law.

  24. What happened to History and Tradition? I’m pretty sure I can think of a few passages in the Articles that blatantly forbid this. Weren’t they supposed to rule on the CONSTITUTIONALITY of stuff?

  25. I’m sure Thomas, Alito and the other conservatives got some very nice “gifts” and vacation perks from the Cheeto for this decision.

  26. Oh. This. This they will impeach her for. Spineless fucking democrats couldn’t impeach trumps feckless appointees. The republicucks will impeach her for insulting dear leader

  27. Good thing the liberal wing of SCOTUS will be in the minority for a long time! Sotomayer can keep dissenting all she wants but at least we have 6 strong patriots who show the appropriate level of deference to the unitary executive!

  30. Supreme Court is a kangaroo court. Rule of law means nothing to the majority. The fundamental rights outlined in the constitution mean nothing.

  31. Rewarding lawlessness can do wonders for a Supreme Court Justice’s tips and under-the-table paychecks!

  32. This is the consequence of a 2016 electoral decision which valued cliche instead of issues. It took just a few people to fall for the email issue and totally forget what was truly at stake during a presidential election….i would have thought, they knew better, but no they did again in 2024 and gave these people absolute power….

    The American people rewarded lawlessness…

  33. The Supreme Court just feels more and more political every year.
