SCOTUS, Now with KBJ

[ScoobyDoo]

Looks like the Supreme Court is taking up the other student loan case as well.

Interesting how the Supreme's don't get involved when money is being handed out to rich people.

This is more vile than any of the state challenges. Truly gross stuff here.

Agreed. I can almost understand the states’ argument. Almost. This case is a joke. I could see SCOTUS tossing out this particular case for lack of standing, but siding with the states, despite that particular case also originally being tossed for lack of standing by a Bush appointee, but I know I’ve beaten the horse dead at this point.

The New York Times

@nytimes
Breaking News: The Supreme Court announced that an internal investigation had failed to identify who leaked a draft of its opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

...because Roberts won't let them announce "It was Alito" and make the SCOTUS even more of a hated joke.

 

[Kepler]

The internal investigation by the police department failed to find evidence of police brutality.

 

[Swansong]

Seriously. "We're honest, just ask us!" It's amazing what you find when you don't look.

Wonder if the bloated, wrinkled blonde wife was questioned?

 

[Kepler]

Schiff introduces a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to forbid Congress or the States from imposing reasonable viewpoint-neutral limitations on private campaign contributions or independent election expenditures, or from enacting systems of public campaign financing, including those designed to restrict the influence of private wealth by offsetting campaign spending or independent expenditures with increased public funding.

Conservatives should support that, I mean, they keep going on about Soros using his money to affect elections, so that will stop him right in his tracks!!!!

I know, right? I get it with little boys, but it's getting so you can't even sexually assault women anymore. What has happened to this country?

But their emails,

Several Supreme Court justices utilized their personal email accounts for work-related communications in lieu of secure servers that were set up to protect such information — well before the Dobbs v. Jackson draft opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade was leaked to the media last year — according to CNN.

Concern! Concern!

I wish I could say I was surprised...
And nothing will be done.

Jesus. Every problem in our nation points straight back to Reagan, doesn't it??

(Yeah, Thomas was a Bush Sr. appointment, but Sr. was thanks to Reagan.)

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Jesus. Every problem in our nation points straight back to Reagan, doesn't it??

Yes. I've realized that for almost two decades now.

 

[Kepler]

Jesus. Every problem in our nation points straight back to Reagan, doesn't it?

Yes. Some of us knew it at the time (whistles).

Electing Reagan was the moment of cowardice that will doom America for the next century*, the way the Great Compromise was the moment of cowardice that doomed America for its first century. Without going back on our fundamental principles and values that way, this country would have been so much better. But I absolutely believe we can self-correct, with time, and as demography kills off the derp.
