Are you saying the SCOTUS is corrupted? WHAT?!?!

Roberts is just as evil and corrupt as Thomas and Alito. Always has been. He’s managed to hide behind a reasonable moderate label for the longest time because he’s *occasionally* sided with the liberals. The Trump era simply sped up his ambitions, and he can truly take the mask off now.

It also shows that Roberts is essentially just as bad.

This shows that Roberts and these corrupt judges will do everything possible to get Trump into office to save their own skins.

I just want to point out that Alito was supposed to give the majority opinion in the Netchoice cases in July until Roberts, ACB, Jackson, Kagan, Sotomeyer all saw how crazy his majority opinion was. Kagan wrote the majority instead
My hope: Kamala the Dragon-Born is in office with an Attorney General Khalisi Send -the -Starved-Dogs -to -eat -You flies over the Supreme Court and the Federalists and their zillionaire patrons and hold them all to account.
Y’all know what I mean, sorry for the dramatic effect.

It’s some achievement to surpass Clarence Thomas in sheer bald-faced hackery. Thomas is crazier and more corrupt, yet Alito is more vacant – nothing behind the eyes.
Worst justices since James Clark McReynolds, who served from 1914 to 1941.

It’s like being in a street gang and having wildcard who goes too far a lot but as leader you like having that weapon at your disposal and it always serves the purpose of making you look more rational despite you being just as vile.

> "So my attitude is, 'Listen to my constituents.' Sometimes they're going to say things that people don't like. But they're saying things that people don't like because their town has been overwhelmed," Vance said, claiming he was "Protecting" them by elevating these claims without ever actually confirming that they were true.
> Rather than take any ownership of his role in spreading false claims and incendiary rhetoric, Vance recoiled, saying that any suggestion that he'd been responsible for inciting the bomb threats in Springfield was "Disgusting." The Ohio senator scolded Bash for sounding like a "Democratic propagandist" as she called him out on his reckless lying.
> Wow – Dana Bash with a brutal fact-check of JD Vance after Vance smears *legal* Haitian immigrants in Springfield with debunked claims.
What does it matter?? All these leaked docs will do nothing and nothing will be done.

SC in the USA occupies the same slot royals occupied in absolute monarchies.
They effectively can not be stood down (spare me your legal explanation, I said ‘effectively’), there is no one above them, they can make rules as they please, they can not be held to account.
And as of right now, they are thoroughly corrupt and beholden to a corrupt swine.
Just saying guys: with your oligarchic system, you are so close to an aristocracy, I think we can call the democratic experiment ‘failed’ by now.
A democracy needs an intelligent and educated population that is interested in the well being of the country above small minded concerns. What percentage of the US population still fits that bill?

It’s a dereliction of duty on behalf of the American people to ever give these justices a moment’s peace.

So how do you take down a Supreme Court justice?

Does Roberts know how bad Roberts is, though?

Alito serves his purpose. His utility is in providing a distraction when necessary, and making the other conservative justices appear more “moderate” by comparison. He and Thomas seem to enjoy playing the “heel,” and it’s 100% theater.
GuitarMystery on
Aaah, so Roberts is the president of the supreme court.
Qui-gone_gin on
Yeah no shit, they work with each other, he’s read his opinions and he probably watches the news, how is anyone surprised by this at all?

Leaked memos show Roberts was in on it all along.

There’s Roberts bad, there’s Alito bad, and then there’s just Corrupt Clarence.

Alito, Roberts, Batshit, and Rapeys one and two are all equally horrible human beings who need time-outs in the pokey. Our democracy will be stronger for the prosecution of their abuse of office.
