Two separate questions here: (1) Would I want to expand the Supreme Court? Maybe. Especially if I thought we could still use it to leverage much-needed reforms to the system. (2) Would I think there is just cause for it and that the institution has already been damaged in such a way to justify doing so? No.
Looks like we'll all be paying an additional 1% on our property insurance this year, ut those in Tallahassee don't care. Gotta defeat Disney
It’s a thing of beauty watching meatball ron go full socialist. He won’t stop until Florida tax payers end up having to pay Disney’s debt. Disney should put an end to this mess by letting him wear Cinderella’s glass slippers so he can gain a few more inches of height at the podium.
Merrick Garland laid bare to the general populace the way politics have infected the judiciary and the extremes the parties will go to pack the courts. The radical things the ill-gotten right-wing majority have done since have only driven home the point that politics, not principle, are what's driving the judiciary at this point. It has eroded the public trust in the institution.
If I had to guess I think Clarence Thomas might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back as far as Supreme Court reform goes. It’s a different issue than Garland obv, but it’s more likely to be the thing that makes America rethink the Supreme Court. IMO Justice Roberts is a good man and a good judge. I sure as hell don’t envy his position these days.
He's not. But he's a lot savvier than the other Republicans on SCOTUS. He understands SCOTUS's strengths and weaknesses and how to hand Republicans victory after victory without doing so in such a radical way that it'll make waves. If you move towards the ultimate goal incrementally, you will still get there, but it'll seem less controversial. If you toss the Democrats some minor victories along the way, it'll give you even more cover. Basically, he's a better politician than the others. But Roberts shares the same goals. He planned to overturn Roe. He is all in on subverting democratic rights (by assaulting the right to vote and dismantling gerrymandering protections). Roberts led the charge on dismantling the Voting Rights Act (using cockamamie theories and bad-faith interpretations) because the Republicans could never do it through democratic processes. And recall that he wrote a vehement dissent in Obergefell (gay marriage case).
LOL, medical authoritarianism is their thing...still super butthurt over the covid passport flameout.
I don't know anybody who still talks about COVID passports or cares about them. I actually had to bring my vaccine card to my recent surgery. That was the first time I've needed it in like a year. It was also the first time I've worn a mask in awhile. But yeah, I'm very upset over it. Is that all you have?
I don’t think this attack will resonate politically, because the definition of conservative has changed. Now conservatives very much want to control corporations, and control the expression of ideas or identity. But still interesting. Edited to add: it should be obvious, but I’m referring to the second tweet. I didn’t realize the both would show up.
Nothing like a thread getting polluted with 715's straw man arguments and incessant nonsense to help it lose any informational value...
