SCOTUS

[Cascadia]

Also, Breyer needs to retire so them Dems can replace him with a 45-50 year old. Can't have another RBG situation.

[ousdahl]

I think it’s sad that so many blame RBG for not stepping down, as if she’s the one who turned scotus into what it is.

I suppose it’s too much to blame bad faith senators and their shameless power grabs, eh?

WASHINGTON — The Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts, warned Friday that the Supreme Court risks losing its own authority if it allows the existence of a law like Texas’ near-total abortion ban, which attempts to circumvent the courts.

In a strongly worded opinion joined by the high court’s three liberal justices, Roberts wrote that the "clear purpose and actual effect" of the Texas law was "to nullify this Court’s rulings." That, he said, undermines the Constitution and the fundamental role of the Supreme Court and the court system as a whole...

there’s hope yet, no matter how fleeting

[zsn]

Roberts has been worried only about how history is going to view him and nothing else. He’s as much a partisan hack as the rest of the scoundrels but he is at least worried about whatever legacy he would leave behind. Can’t say even that much about Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh.

Anything that appears like hope is but a mirage……of Roberts’ efforts at reputation-laundering. He’s working very hard at having it both ways

[Overlander]

Yeah, I took his comments as more of a “hey, it wasn’t me” when the inevitable occurs

** Illy, that means when what was going to happen anyway happens

So as far as I can tell, scotus sent back down the vax requirement for bidnesses with 100+ employees, but upheld the mandate for healthcare workers?

With the rationale being, healthcare workers should get it cuz it’s their job to keep people healthy.

Ooook….apparently they think the mandate for 100+ employers was imposed for some reason other than keeping healthy, then?

Or is it, that bidnesses should be exempt since their primary utility is less about keeping people healthy and more about economic productivity?

I think what you’re seeing is proof that the QOP’s only agenda is “owning the libs”

[ousdahl]

Ha, maybe.

Kinda surprised the conservative majority didn’t shoot down the healthcare mandate as well, on the grounds that the primary utility of Merican healthcare is economic productivity too.

[zsn]

Your first mistake is assuming that anything that the current SCOTUS does has any rationale. They would have upheld the mandate had a Republican President proposed it. They are partisan hacks

Sotomayor: I’m at higher risk with diabeetus, would everyone else please mask up?

Gorsuch: BUT MAH RIGHTS

[Deleted User 863]

That's definitely rude as fuck.

But with increased risk she's better off working remotely regardless. Especially if they're just wearing cloth masks and in close proximity to each other.

I also saw some headline like “scotus went from hearing one big religious case every few years, to several religious cases a session”

[Qusdahl]

Time for my boy Mitch to work his grim reaper black magic.

is it good or bad that this person is retiring?

Why would you care?

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I would like for you to tell me/us what you think.
If you are sincerely asking people who aren't relevant what their opinion is - then I may suggest
you wait for "don lemon, bruce springsteen, jesse waters, joe rogan, kid rock, whoopi goldburg, jon stockton" to chime in.
Might as well, right?
