the platform changed the GOP's position on abortion the same way i changed my position on bedtime when i told my kids they could stay up until half-past 7pm instead of 7:30pm.

Bump stocks have no purpose outside of mass shootings, but the Republicans on the Supreme Court believe there's a fundamental right to commit mass shootings, and now we all have to live with that while they party on billionaire's yachts and ranches.

Analysis: Alito portrays himself as so meekly subordinate to his wife’s dominion that he won’t act to remove an insurrection flag he objects to from their house for days w/o her consent. But he also asserts no reasonable person could question the independence of his judgment on insurrection matters.

According to Alito, male Supreme Court justices have absolutely zero input into the flags their wives fly at their homes. But married women must notify their spouses if they intend to have an abortion (per Alito’s dissent in Planned Parenthood vs. Casey)

This Court will casually accuse elected officials and civil rights plaintiffs of religious bigotry (against conservative Christians) and compare women who have abortions to eugenicists. But says you should never, ever, ever accuse someone of racial discrimination (unless it is against white people).

For those keeping score at home, 22% of the justices with lifetime Supreme Court appointments had a partner who either (a) texted the White House supporting the insurrection or (b) flew a flag supporting the insurrection outside their house. What would you say if you saw it in another country?

That said, no one should interpret today's CFPB decision as proof that the Supreme Court is "moderating" or "compromising" or "shifting to the center." Not at all. The decision is evidence of how totally lawless the 5th Circuit has become—because this case shouldn't even exist!

Anti-abortion groups, the GOP, and Trump are all getting free press for purportedly not wanting a national abortion ban because they have trained political press to ask a bad question over and over! Meanwhile: Jonathan Mitchell is smiling and Harlan Crow is writing a check.

i think the best way to understand the supreme court's conduct in trump v. united states is as an explicit effort to intervene in the 2024 election on behalf of the former president. it is a gross abuse of power on par with dred scott and deserves to be met with sanction from the elected branches.

Your honor, in our timeline, Trump won the 2020 election, the rule of law doesn't apply to him, & Bork is the ultimate authority on all law, having successfully been appointed chief justice.

Putting aside how little Alito seems to understand law or medicine, here's a scotus justice parsing whether pregnant people deserve medical care when their risk of organ failure might be "temporary" not permanent. What a gotcha Sam. You sure showed us. Those radical organ-failure-preventing libs!

Listen. I've been covering the Christian right's support for Trump for more than eight years. They think he's a historic hero for killing Roe. They completely trust that he will do their bidding in another term. They're confident because of his history, and because he's toast without them.

Far-right extremists are literally telling us how if they win they’re going to weaponize a 19th century law to enforce a nationwide abortion ban by criminalizing the shipping of any materials used in an abortion. Democrats must commit to fighting back by repealing the Comstock Act.
