I genuinely feel bad for Justice Jackson. She is competent and thoughtful, and appears to appreciate how consequential the Supreme Court can be. She was an actual successful lawyer. I think she went into this expecting to make a difference, and, instead, we have the Roberts Court.
Feels a lot like being assigned to your bully for a class project. They're not only gonna make you do all the work, they're gonna make you feel like shit while doing it.
There is one question every single Democratic lawmaker needs to be asked:
"What should Democrats do with the newly expanded powers of the presidency?"
If they cannot answer that question, they need to be primaried, as they are not fit for this moment.
The dissent doesn't "reveal concerns." Justices Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor have been very vocal about these issues for months, since last summer at least. I wish the news would stop with this limpdick rhetoric. We are in a fucking crisis, act like it
I can't tell if the majority expects there to never be another democrat president or if they just haven't thought that far ahead. It probably varies from one to the next.
The U.S. is disintegrating in real time. Decisions are pushing the states even further apart. Hard to see how the union survives another 10 years.
reveal concerns that the US faces a crisis
I'm so tired of these half baked headlines.
The US has been in a crisis for A FUCKING DECADE at this point.
Can we just skip all of this? We know what the republicans want. There’s no compromise anymore. The feckless Democrats have done nothing but capitulate. It’s never enough. It will never be enough. So why the fuck are we still pretending? What are we doing here?
“Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from law abiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship.”
Sure feels like that's the point, lady
Dear left SCOTUS Justices,
As 3/9ths of 1/3 of the federal government of The United States of America, please stop fucking around.
Sincerely,
Everybody
