John Roberts (appointed by George W. Bush), bends the knee to Trump.

Screw George W. Bush. Al Gore should have won in 2000.

Al Gore _did_ win in 2000. Except for *checks notes* a Republican SCOTUS.

If the popular vote state compact had passed and been in place in 2016 then Trump would've lost

I’m not sure the word hypocrisy is strong enough to describe conservative media. These are willfully deceptive charlatans.

Anyone remember the right losing their goddamn minds over the FEMA camps conspiracy theory like 10 or 15 years ago?

It's worse. Remember that lady with the wedding planner website or whatever the legal argument was 'what is she was asked to make a website for a gay wedding

* Customer requesting gay wedding website not required.

It’s the same lawyer from ADF in every one of their anti-LGBTQ cases: Kristen Wagoner. The modern Anita Bryant 💀

I’m a natural-born American citizen and I’m genuinely not sure it’s safe for me to leave the house.

Do you love Trump and rich people to your last dying breath? Yes/no

Never mind, no it's not safe for anyone right now

The government right now: "Whoopsie, a $100,000 oops made me loopie".

Meanwhile various District court justices are probably researching how to make soup beans right about now. Just in case.

I'm so grateful that they're protecting me from an imperial presidency lawlessly forgiving loans owed by people who aren't rich.

Oh don’t worry, in the 2023 case 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, the Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado web designer could refuse to create wedding websites for same-sex couples, so they’re actually quite consistent that no one gets rights! :smile:

You don't even need a customer requesting a gay website for the case to stick.

I’m in a constitutional law class right now and I am still struggling to wrap my mind around how in the world she had any standing/ how the ripeness test was met 💀

🇺 sanmei.bsky.social
It's the Judicial Calvinball unwritten clause: if precedent, standing, or indeed the very facts of the case are inconvenient to the desired ruling, they may be substituted out for more applicable ones on a case by case basis.

They seem to be employing that a lot 💀

i'm growing increasingly cynical at people talking about "long term victory" when its been increasingly looking like there isn't going to be a long term

The president can disappear people on the one hand, but can't forgive debt on the other...

🇺 simplyjack.bsky.social
Idk shyt about habeas corpus but it strikes me as probably counterproductive to the whole endeavor to require the administration to detain immigrants long enough to have their writs decided

29/35
🇺 simplyjack.bsky.social
I feel like I’m missing something here. This just reads like a way to maintain the status quo while not explicitly telling trump he lost.

🇺 simplyjack.bsky.social
Well yeah that’s kind of bullshyt when you put it that way
