The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda.
Whoa.
Well, I bet my pants that Justice Clarence Thomas is a dissenting opinion. Does it say in the article?
There’s only one way to find out: ask people what’s in the article.
I just wanted to guess before I read it.
Can something so certain legitimately be called a guess anymore?
“Supreme Court justices should be [terrible thing, deadly, obviously bad outcome for them]”
Like, who knows, in a motor coach kissing a concrete pillar on the way back from Martha’s Vineyard when OnStar goes out during a Cloudflare outage?
It’s always the ones you most suspect. You could probably be closely aligned with the constitution without knowing a single thing about the law by just always taking the opposite position from whatever Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh take.
I can’t remember what it was about, but I think Kavanaugh was actually on the correct side of a non-unanimous ruling maybe once.
A few of them made an effort to keep up appearances during early rulings, but then they realized that democracy was falling so they went whole-hog with empowering fascism, and now we’re approaching what looks like a brutal mid-term sweep so the judges are backing off again from overt capitulation… we sure wouldn’t want the new house and senate to introduce bills to reform Supreme Court, right?
I must admit I’ve been surprised by how independent of Trump Amy Coney Barrett has wound up being. She’s ruled against him a few times now.
When she looks relatively sane and moderate it just demonstrates how crazy and extreme the fascists in charge are.
Oh, certainly. I would never say she was a good pick for the Supreme Court. She’s a monster who has turned on her creator, as so many of them ultimately do.
I still think Barrett, a person who had almost no courtroom experience before being appointed, was a shitty appointment. But she’s turned out slightly less shitty than I anticipated.
Recusing herself that one time was a low bar to clear, but she managed to huff and puff her way over.
Thomas, Alito, and Kavanagh were the dissenters.
Yep.
