SCOTUS Is Driving A Conservative Car In First Gear, Says Analyst
Even though justices are suppose to be without bias, how many actually are when they are chosen for their right or left leaning views.
@Mary Hunter Instead of calling names, my arguments are based on facts.
@Matt Russillo Fair? Decisions made in accordance with your ideas are fair, otherwise unfair? Supreme court’s ruling now to stop Ballot Harvest is fair, and it should be done before 2020 so that the Dems couldn’t steal the election for a dementia candidate.
@Matt Russillo Why thank Trump?
@Joke Biden “Decisions made in accordance with your ideas are fair, otherwise unfair?” Sounds like your orange cheetus doesn’t it hahaha
@Mick why Supreme court’s ruling now to stop Ballot Harvest is fair, and it should be done before 2020 so that the Dems couldn’t steal the election for a dementia candidate.
Federalist Society = Gilead
Exactly
F the GQP.
@Sarah F. 4.2 Okay get your coat we are moving you upstairs 🙂
No surprise with unqualified far right picks like Coney Barrett. Expand the Supreme Court or the US will be under the Christian equivalent of Sharia law within a few years.
I don’t think and hope that will not happen
And what happens if in 2024 Republicans control the Senate and White House and expand further with their nominees? It could end up being a ridiculous unwieldy court of scores of judges.
There is no easy solution, but term limits would be a good starting point.
That would be fine with Omar and Talieb…
Y’all Qaeda in action.
I’m tell you all its time
“SCOTUS Is Driving A Conservative Car in First Gear, Says Analyst”
Just wait…. That “SCOTUS Conservative Car” is going to slam America right into a tree…..
And, America’s air-bags aren’t working…
@FactsarenotdirtyFwords I said Democrats in general.
@FactsarenotdirtyFwords Don’t try to change the topic of the argument. It’s kind of hard for Biden to be a fascist in and of himself because he is half dead.
@FactsarenotdirtyFwords I see that Bradyn has been stalking you lol tRumpturds trying to get his warped point across must not be working hahaha
@Havoc Development Republicans
@Bradyn Lotterman 2. Human Rights ignored. Trump and the GQP HATE when anyone protests for their rights, especially if they are black and are being harassed and murdered by cops at a high rate. Remember when trump cleared away peaceful protesters so he could have a photo op with a bible he never reads? That’s an act of FASCISM. In this country people are ALLOWED to protest….it’s part of the Constitution, remember? But trump and the GQP HATE minorities and therefore do NOT want them to have equal Human Rights. This was made abundantly clear throughout trump’s 4 agonizing years as Dictator.
The Koch nominated Supreme Court. Buckle up.
@Nelson Chinchilla sorry I don’t speak fascist.
@BlondeGirlSez This what language, chinese?
@BlondeGirlSez This so you speak commie and authoritarian
@BlondeGirlSez This kung flu?
@Todd Jones I think the laws will get most of the Repubs voted OUT of office…
Generally, the so called “Trump” appointees will not want to be associated with that name long term. Like anyone else, they will be happy to remove the Trump stank from their own narratives. With that said they will be conservative, but I am hopeful that they will not be part of deconstructing our democracy.
@Birthing Girdle well said… it takes time and some articulation to explain just how bad Trump has been for our country and will likely be remembered. Every Hannity broadcast starts with rants about “Sippy cup Joe”. And that is news? I tend to read to get my information. Something Trump never learned to do.
@Birthing Girdle hey thanks for your comment….. I understand why you’re emotional….. I think it’s because you’ve been watching the political action committees…. MSNBC and CNN
@Joseph Lavigne Youre quite welcome sir.. My comments were entirely logical, historically based and well balanced. You would be well informed to take heed of them and better yourself. Best wishes to you sir.
No, the Democrat party is doing a better job of that than SCOTUS ever could. At this point SCOTUS is just a rubber stamp for Dem insanity.
@Dan Burnes Totally agree.
Over 90 Percent of GOP voters believe propaganda so we must vote them out they will ruin this country
@frutbum p I almost miss your joke. Actually, the bribery charge was against Hunter Biden, not his dad.
@Joke Biden But the bribery confession was Joe himself for all to see. “I’m leavin’ in six hours, if the prosecutor isn’t fired you’re not gettin’ the money.”
Isn’t it a 97% consensus?;^)
@frutbum p I leave this question for the Dems to answer.
@william evans You meant Biden’s bribery charges?
Hypothesis: Arizona voting regulations are now sponsored by the SCOTUS, next up is Georgia. For those of you in opposition to these types of regulations, make sure your passports are up to date & start looking for countries you wouldn’t mind permanently moving to🤫😉, because there will come a time when dissent will not be tolerated.
Hypothesis: Any opposing local, state, and federal office holder/potential office holder that thinks he/she will have a job/keep his or her job thanks to overwhelming voter registration advantage in his/her neck of the woods is in for a rude awakening. Regulations will be introduced nationwide as to who can & cannot vote to ensure that only the ideologically pure get to “win”. There will be no token opposition in or outside government. It’s ALL or EVERYTHING, jobs are for the party faithful.
That’s how it’s should be when the republicans voted no to bring him to justice it was all good
I’d say with the parking brake on while using wrong hand signals, with a flat tire up front on the right, 🤗.
*brake
When you have criminals as guardians of the law, of course you are going to see its molestations and perversions by these illegitimate actors.
Like a pendulum, the farther it swings to the right, the more it will swing back to the left. It might take 10, 20, or 30 years – the next generation of SCOTUS. The question is, will you be around to see that day?
There needs to be term limits for supreme court justices. Dems need to pack the court. The majority of Americans do not share conservative views. They have a problem separating church from state.
It is a shame that people in such high positions, even those who shouldn’t be there, cannot overcome their own built in prejudice when it matters.
i see republicans sitting on that court that need to be removed now , no waiting now
Even if Breyer retires and a Dem. friendly Justice is installed, the Republicans still have it stiched up for decades.
This ‘court is absolutely worthless. I wonder how many straws the people will stand.
legacy of the Biden admin is letting these jerks get away with it
Time for three more judges to be named
