Agreed. I keep thinking Obama is keeping his powder dry and waiting to gin up support as only he can until the time is right. The election will turn on turnout and passion to vote only lasts so long and you don't want it to peak too early - this may be more hope than actual idk.
Cocaine Mitch’s decision to 86 Garland’s appointment plus his shameless flip flop with the Hand Maiden are why we have 2 of the justices..
Evil, stupid, or crazy. The only reasonable explanations for why people might think differently than we do.
They certainly seem like the best plausible descriptors of Trump supporters. Some fall in multiple categories.
Since I’m not an attorney explain it to me. They all voted the same way, I guess the “dissent” wasn’t strong enough to make them vote against Trump.
Here is what the 3 justices who offered a concurring opinion on the case said: "Allowing Colorado to do so would, we agree, create a chaotic state-by-state patchwork, at odds with our Nation’s federalism principles. That is enough to resolve this case." So it was a 9-0 decision.
reading beyond the headlines is difficult for some. Unanimity over 14th amendment masks supreme court schism on accountability
You’re asking the wrong guy. His schtick is “trust me, I’m a lawyer. If you’re skeptical, you’re stupid.”
Dig a little deeper. I was responding to a snarky comment about who was corrupt, etc. To suggest that all 9 agreed on all aspects is in incorrect. It was a 9-0 decision, but not a 9-0 opinion, a factiod lost on the person I responded to. In fact, at least one justice had apparently originally prepared a "concurring in part, dissenting in part" opinion due to the inexplicable overreach of 5 cons. Somehow that opinion was changed to a concurring opinion shortly before the opinions were released. Three justices concurred in the result, but not the five cons' opinion. Even Barrett filed a separate concurring opinion. 5 justices joined in the main opinion, 4 concurred in the result but thought the cons went too far. From Newsweek: Hidden change in Supreme Court Trump ruling raises eyebrows The Supreme Court Forgot to Scrub the Metadata in Its Trump Ballot Decision. It Reveals Something Important.
What a thrilling victory this must feel like for you - a man who conspired to overturn an election, coerced numerous state election officials, coerced his own VP, and watched while hundreds of police were beaten can run for President. Winning!!
Moscow Mitch maneuvered the Senate into allowing Trump to select two justices that he should not have been able to pick. All 3 of his choices lied during their confirmation hearings. No one is questioning that they are in, fact, SCOTUS justices.
Indeed. Some, if true, are just posting on message boards. The others are running for President while spreading their laughable falsehoods, or were assaulting police and desecrating our Capitol based on said laughable falsehoods. Is one worse than the other?
