SCOTUS, Now with KBJ

[WeAreNDHockey]

Everyone capable of waking up has. Nobody else is going to wake up.

The rest aren't asleep. They want this. They have always hated democracy and rule of law. They believe in their iron age superstitions and rule at gunpoint. They want to hurt anyone who is different.

I already know the right isn't sleeping. The people who want fascism and authoritarianism are awake and wanting this to happen.

It's not enough to elect a couple more democratic senators or governors, or keep the house barely in control of the democratic party. That will simply allow the forces aligned to turn us into Nazi Germany time to regroup, and adjust their tactics yet again. We already know that at least a third and maybe as much as nearly half of this country is the enemy. But too many who are voting on the right side (if they bother to vote) do not yet see how close to the brink we are. Those are the ones we need to shake up.

This says all I need to know about the case and how it is going.

Alito wants to say that the racism in Alabama's map is just an accident based on where people live. And, you'll note, he makes this argument directly *after* Jackson went in on the systemic racism inherent in where people live.

The Court is lost for the next 50 years. If I am Jackson I am proud I made it all the way here but I also know I am going to be doing nothing but writing dissents and being in the minority while I'm there.

Sotomayor is asking why Alabama never splits up majority white districts, but always splits up majority black districts.

Alito: What if black people didn't exist

[Kepler]

Why are they even hearing the case, we all know they are going to rule based on the immediate political interest of the Republican party.

There is absolutely no Constitutional reason we can't add 60 Leftist judges tonight. Just do it. The alternative is unthinkable for humanity.

What if conservatives didn’t exist?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

What if conservatives didn’t exist?

The "tweeter" of that line is basically writing it as his interpretation of what Alito is saying. Which means it's not accurate, but it is accurate. I'd like it if conservatives as currently defined did not exist.

Coming soon to SCOTUS: Who gives a sh** about the wetlands; it's not like that water finds its way to rivers, lakes, or oceans, ever, right?

Rich people do not care about water that sustains humanity. They only care about the water next to their home.

Rich people do not care about water that sustains humanity. They only care about the water next to their home.

To be fair, this is true of everyone except a handful of overeducated Climate Heads. Bolsanaro is burning the rainforests because millions of middle class and poor voters care more about 'er jerbs. Amazon is destroying the planet because all 9 billion of us have to get our crocs a day earlier.

It's just most irksome with the rich because they hoard the resources that could help others protect their sh-t.

Don't kill the rich because they're worse than we.

Kill them because they're the same.

I care and I am not an "overeducated Climate Head".

Of course you are. You and I fell off the same turnip truck. Not all education comes from Farts Marble U.

An actual good article about net platform liability.

This is only an administrative stay, which means Graham doesn't have to testify while SCOTUS examines his request. Fulton County DA's response is due Thursday. It would be shocking if Thomas ruled in Graham's favor w/out referring this to the full court, given his wife's activity

 

[aparch]

No, it really wouldn't be all that shocking. The strings are unraveling and they're getting scared.

 

[Swansong]

In a sane world, Thomas would have recused himself from even this. But we aren't in that world.
