Let’s be honest, we’re all only listening to this SCOTUS live audio to find out what happens when Roberts goes, “Justice Thomas, any questions?”
AND JUSTICE THOMAS IS ASKING QUESTIONS
And now Ginsburg and Breyer have both pressed the lawyer to follow on Thomas’s question, because it turns out when Thomas does ask questions, they’re usually good ones.

JUSTICE THOMAS ASKS AGAIN!

Go, go, Thomas!
And here’s the #BreyerPage

The decision feels like Bruen in that it'll have the justices in subsequent cases going WAIT NO WE DIDN'T MEAN THAT except it'll be after Emperor Trump orders Kavanaugh to chew off Roberts's face in the supersized Thunderdome constructed on top of the Supreme Court building
Hahahaha what am I saying this opinion will never be cited again if dude returns to office because they'll just Weekend at Bentham him so that he'll remain immune from whatever crimes he commits while alive or dead during his eternal reign Image
If dude loses then yeah so long as this SCOTUS is similarly constituted a majority will permit any subsequent Republican DOJ to swiftly execute any past Democratic President for the nonofficial criminal acts of Winning an Election and Democrating While In Office.

SCOTUS 6-3 invalidates the federal bump stock ban supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
Thomas writes for the six-justice Republican supermajority saying existing law didn't authorize the Trump admin's rule.

Alito, concurring, says Congress should amend the law.

Might as well get a thread started tracking Justice Jackson's emerging pro-democracy constitutional vision
Jackson came straight out of the blocks in October 2022 to give full weight to the proper understanding of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Amendments as keys to our ensuring a robust multiracial democracy today:

Justice Thomas just suggested J6, legally, is no different than any other violent attempt to disrupt official proceedings
