He’s such a sleeze bag. Wish Anita Hill could’ve kept him off the bench.

SCOTUS is damaged for years & years to come. (⁠ノ⁠´⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠)⁠ノ⁠ ⁠ミ⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

And she was victimized because of this piece of judicial shit. Such a travesty, but unfortunately no surprise.

As things stand, public approval ratings of the court have held steady at historic lows.

The damage from Fascist 45 has been tremendous, but at least the people are taking notice. And hopefully this will inspire positive change.

Our parents and teachers grew up under the Warren and Marshall courts.

These were hardly all good, but they were a rare time of stability, sanity, and defense of civil rights out of the courts. Which is a blip in the history.

On the whole, the SCOTUS has always been a force for evil. It has always leaned against civil rights and towards statism and fascism. Towards maintaining and enforcing the police state. The current state is returning to the norm, not an anomaly. But with so many of society's elders being raised on a reasonable court, they forget.

It is a 100% politically-appointed institution with zero oversight and lifetime terms. It's obviously a bad idea. Just another of myriad compromises in the founding of our nation to cater to regressive-thinking, anti-civil rights right wingers that have always been a major part of the American experiment.

Everyone should read Balls and Strikes and listen to the 5-4 Podcast. Especially the fucking law school professors that uncritically and dogmatically teach the mostly very, very bad SCOTUS case law. We need to get serious about fixing this bad institution if we want to have a future.

Zero people in my life who didn't already notice years ago have noticed since. Not very encouraging.

He cannot afford $100 for a 5 terabyte external hard drive? LOL

The racism is so blatant. Idk how this isn’t a civil rights lawsuit already, the whole situation is utterly ridiculous.

Did they ever punish Speaker Sexton for illegally funneling taxpayer dollars into his lavish estate and mistress or is it still more of a crime to be black in Tennessee?

I live in Tennessee. They are just fucking racist pieces of shit. And no that whole Sexton shit went nowhere, which sounds about white.

I mean DesJarlias keeps being sent back to Congress along with John McGroomemYoung Rose. Governor HVAC literally had the whole blowing millions on fake ass COVID tests swept under the rug.

So, yeah just more of the same privileged ass white men finding new ways to fuck over everyone else who doesn't tiptoe around their fragile ass egos.

Not that shit again.

You should see the latest video I just saw. Republicans running things like an auctioneer speaking so fast and slamming the hammer before anyone can say anything or do anything then saying “whoops too late.”

I love how weak sauce is in her vernacular.

How would this work?

What are they going to do put cameras in every bathroom and toilet stall in the state?

Or more likely encouraging snitching karens barging in on people they suspect of being in the wrong toilet.

Not enough. You’d need a camera in every toilet, and people to review the footage… maybe reduce government spending by crowd-sourcing it, post the videos on “hidden camera” porn sites and let the community vote… 🙄

I’m going to need to see your birth certificate and your penis before I can let you in this restroom Jim. How is this meant to work exactly?

Auzy , to U.S. News in Harsh penalties approved for Florida state college employees who use restrooms that don't correspond with gender assigned at birth | CNN

Any chance we can have a dedicated left wing male bathroom too? I’m not sure I want right wingers staring at my Wang whilst I’m peeing to confirm my gender giving me stage fright

The title makes it sound like the water restrictions are what’s worsening the drought.
