I really thought I was cynical enough about the utter corruption of the right-wing bloc on SCOTUS, but it turns out I was still giving them too much respect.

This is the messaging Democrats need to be using in their campaigns. I don’t care if it’s a Federal, State or local race. This message will resonate with voters and hurt every GOP candidate in November. Use it.

My constitutional law prof tried so hard to impress upon us the veneer of judicial independence that SCOTUS practices, but by the end of the course, you could tell he was starting to phone it in. He was a lawyer in Colorado, if I recall.

Re: the SCOTUS justice mindset, when you’ve lived and breathed one thing for your entire life and that thing requires faith in a lifetime appointment system and that system is in a nation showing itself to be one of the worst in the world, you can live in denial, become a mercenary, or fight.

Waiting for one or another country to name the US as the equivalent of a narco state. Criminals are free to run the country.

Not just immunity. It's a toxic cocktail that included "judges know more than scientists" and "it ain't bribery if you postdate the check."

Biden needs to instruct his justice department to go after the Federalist Society and find the points of coordination that connect trumps legal team, Cannon and SCOTUS.

Isn't that one of the fundamental sources of the problems we are facing - we underestimate just how bad they will be so we don't take the actions we needed to prevent such situations. republicans have been very strategic & playing a long game to get their people in power at just the "right" time. 🤬

Seriously. Why does anyone give a republican respect? Since the 80’s they’ve been telling us who they are. It’s like social nerd thirstiness to hang with the cool kids (who have figured out how to get all the money).

They have had this planned for many years. They are organized and the only thing that will stop them is keeping trump out of the WH, taking the House, maintaining the Senate and expanding the SC.

Like the Heritage guy, the ineffectiveness and incompetence of the Democrats has emboldened them to drop any pretence now. They’re not wrong either: Dems are/have committed suicide by playing Russian Roulette with all cylinders loaded for 4 years 🤷♂️🙈

I think people all the way up to the presidency need to openly say the ruling is wrong, has no basis in the constitution, and needs to be overturned. Label the 6 justices frauds.

Same - thought they'd delay as much as possible (✅), but eventually give no or very limited immunity (❌), with the understanding that there'd never be a trial before November, and they'd done their duty to clear the way for Trump to win again. Turns out I wasn't nearly jaundiced enough about them!

Same. Until Monday morning, I'd assumed the court would still refuse the immunity ask, and would certainly slap down an attempt by the House to throw out a Biden election victory in January. That assumption is dead. This court is going to be part of Coup 2.0

I used to tell my mother that Republicans were Nazis and she’d berate me for going overboard. But it’s all true. All of it. And I take zero pleasure in being right.

The fatal error of liberals, moderates, and even conservatives is the statement, "they wouldn't go THAT far." That sound you hear right now are the ghosts of peoples who said the same of their democracy before it fell to autocrats.
