It’s also starting to look like Alito and Thomas are by themselves on these types of issues, which is a good sign. Good for a couple of reasons. One, because that means MAGA doesn’t have close to a majority on the Court. Two, because those two are the two oldest members of the Court and the only ones likely to retire anytime soon to be replaced by Trump appointees.
I’m not surprised. He and Thomas are clearly 100% MAGA.
“I find it completely inappropriate for this court to realize the administration has acted in bad faith and lies like a cheap throw rug every chance it gets.”
Because of course he did.
He wants to be the Chief Justice of the fascist kangaroo court.
None of Trump’s SCOTUS appointments voted with him on this case.
That’s gotta sting.
Alito will never be Chief Justice, which is actually partly why he’s such a massive dick, in my opinion. Roberts was initially nominated to replace O’Connor when she retired. Alito was allegedly Bush’s top choice for the new Chief Justice whenever Rehnquist decided to retire. Then Rehnquist died suddenly, and since Roberts’s confirmation process was already underway, his nomination was elevated to Chief Justice and Alito was nominated to replace O’Connor. There have always been rumors that he developed a big resentment over that and has never gotten over it.
Trump’s nominees were all picked by Leonard Leo, who is a massive right wing tool, but isn’t really MAGA. Ironically, the two MAGA justices were appointed by Bush Sr and Bush Jr.
“Inadvertently” is a weird way to spell “intentionally.”
Right! Gaslighting at its finest there. There is nothing unintentional in his very articulate and public words, which I’m sure he understood had weight due to his status and power.
And that really worked too, that strategy. Those words. That agenda. It is disgusting to me how easily it caused people to destroy each other and ruin life for themselves and others.
Like school vouchers passed the Senate here and our public schools are going to lose tax dollars to grift… we’ll still pay them of course… they’ll just now can legally go to pastor Bill’s coke habit in service of Christy Christ McJesuscovich’s superfine megachurchindergarten for future housewives.
The Bible must be removed from school libraries because it mentions sex workers.
Because he’s a twisted git?
