SCOTUS has ruled that presidents are essentially monarchs who can commit crimes, bribery is legal, federal regulatory agencies have no authority to keep us safe, and homeless people can be punished for being homeless.
Is it any wonder why public approval of this court is so low?
@rbreich
That's only half the truth.
SCOTUS has ruled that THEY decide when the president can commit crimes. That THEY decide when federal agencies have authority.
This is a coup. The US is shedding the last semblance of a democracy. From now on, SCOTUS is the functional dictatorship of the oligarchs.
I stayed in a hotel where the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. There was no fire. On investigation it turned out another guest had started filling the bathtub, laid down on the bed to wait, and then fell asleep. The water spilling over triggered sensors in the floor meant to detect if the room's fire sprinkler was spraying, and trigger the alarm.
I imagine the hotel will care once that melts.
(The front desk might be a better option, though.)
@georgetakei I disagree with Sotomayor. The President ought to have immunity for what he does as President, ie. official acts. Think Obama ordering Osama bin Laden kidnapped or killed, he shouldn't be able to be prosecuted for that. It's acts outside his office as President that he shouldn't have immunity for, and the Court ruled that he doesn't.
Trump of course is trying to skip the whole showing that his acts were official part, and he's not going to be able to do that.
@georgetakei Biden need to say that he understand that the Supreen Court states that he can arrest the 6 jugs and Trump due to clear and present danger to the US and replace the Court. He should ask them that question. Would love the answer from them.
@rbreich
How can we prevent the court from stealing the election for trump?
They seem to have become convinced that they are untouchable, and appear to have shed any integrity they once held
@georgetakei From the looks of that picture it looks like someone wanted to make an updated All in the Family without ever watching a single episode of that show.
