STRAIGHT TO SCOTUS
Trump, like Republicans, focus on the nominee; Biden, like the Democrats, focus on what she’d do to access to healthcare
Trump using Ginsburg’s #WeNeedNine words against her final words
Weeeeeeeee
“I’m not even gonna listen to him”
Weeeeeeeeee
Court packing time
Biden dodges the filibuster nuke and court packing question
Trump saves Biden from his dodge
Meanwhile in Universe 2’s First Debate:
Those two seconds of dead air was the best moment of this debate
Cut the mic
Create alternate universe, hold it against opponent
Wait there isn’t a commercial break
“This isn’t the 1950s. All these dog whistles about racism don’t work anymore”
Hey Twitter does anyone have the link to that KAC hit?
Stand back and....standby?!?!?!
So gross
We need some Good Forest Management in this debate
Wallace just straight laughing at the President
“I think I’m counting on them to look at the ballots” - Trump, again, admitting he’s banking on his SCOTUS appointees to invalidate mail-in votes and hand him reelection
(If Trump is hoping his new nominee will be the 5th vote to hand a disputed election to him, he shoulda picked Lagoa)
Toxicity
Wait, you people didn’t just turn off your TV after all that?

Curious if Jim Ho will renounce his defense of birthright citizenship if he thinks a SCOTUS nom depends on doing so

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.

HEY CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS ALITO SAYS PASS A GUN CONTROL LAW BANNING BUMP STOCKS!

Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, dissents, saying that bump stock-equipped guns clearly fall within Congress's prohibition on machine guns:

"When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck."

FedSoc’s founder comes out as a 2020 Election denier:

“[M]any Republicans, myself included, thought that the 2020 presidential election was probably stolen, even though that fact could not be proved in a court of law.”
Not two years ago dude was writing to the Yale Daily News saying he supports affirmative action and signing a SCOTUS amicus brief with the liberal Amar brothers against the Independent State Legislature theory abovethelaw.com/2022/11/federa…

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
Alito’s clearly for throwing out the obstruction charges against the J6 defendant here, too.
The liberals are all clearly with the government’s use of the obstruction statute against the J6 defendants.
