As a brown person. Yeah this is not new, America’s mask is just off now.
As an outsider I'm genuinely shocked. So much for the melting pot. :(
The fact that the conservatives didn't bother to explain their reasoning is entirely damning.
"Because we can."
The Supreme Court is a joke but the clowns are not really funny, more like sad and pathetic.
As it does not really matter what happens as long as "our side" wins, republican voters won't give a fuck. Also does not help that they are a bunch of stupid bigots that will cheer on this "decision".
I bet all the latinos that voted for Trump are thrilled.
The judges are owned by the federalist society, groomed and chosen from law school for siding with the party and the half century plans to end the republic in all but name for a one party plutocratic state.
Prez just hijacked the party, and whipped them into line again recently disparraging the very association that put them there.
The in crowd is rightfully worried about getting thrown out of the club. They also probably have some scandals on these judges the society holds to encourage their allegiance.
Much as the fitting historical parrallel, the borgia pope in the 16th century, the one machivelli based his prince on, the spanish pope nominated cardinals that he had compromised with prostitutes, and compromised existing ones.
We need focus on the federalist society, they are calling the shots or at least making the draft picks. They are also up to expanding the same secret society model to other areas, a federalist society for everything as Leonard Leo sold it, and got gifted I forget a billion or several from some chicago magnate dickhead in his old age, ul-something, ulrich maybe idk.
For us it begins at the grassroots. We don't have billionaires willing to create a national organization. So form small liberal groups, and then network them together. I'm serious. I started a group for queer men last year, now I am taking over the entire progressive scene in my state by creating an overarching organization that connects over a dozen key players (ACLU, Prides, migrant and trans organizations). If we did this in every area, and then networked THEM... well shit we'd have a base of power and even fundraising capabilities. IDK what else to do.
That is exactly what we need. I live in Deep Red country and I can tell you most people agree on the problems Society faces. We have just been led into different causes and solutions to those problems. With people cooperating on what they agree on, the divisive culture War politics would hardly register with the majority.
First and foremost, people want to be able to make enough money to live a dignified life, and do not support allowing the rich to steal their lunch. They also will support equal rights by and large in an honest accounting of the problem.
We really need such a sort of citizens Union like we are speaking of sort of here, but also a Consumers Union to cooperate on the goods we are sold, and more than anything we need a sort of investors Union, where people can't pull their money to create companies that are not run solely on the profit motive in areas where the private sector is unwilling and unable to provide for society's needs. Investors could be offered a fair rate of return while still working towards other goals as well. Especially like Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare and internet cooperatives, alternative energy, etc.
I would like to see a university where people could invent new things while learning in conjunction with others where they could get a share of any innovations that resulted from it being developed by one of these benefit corps. on the investors union.
Instead of throwing obscene amounts of money down the drain to these bloated corrupted educational institutions, that money could be used to actually do things.
It is a little late in the game for all of these aspirational goals but it will never be easier than it is now despite 20 years ago being the right time for these.
This is tyranny. Literal and explicit, without exaggeration.
Understand that and act accordingly.
It passed with 66.6% of supreme court judges voting in favour.
It's time to purge the Supreme Court. It's clear that they don't give a shout about the law or the constitution. They are the activist judges the Republicans always whined about.
I mean I think it's time to purge the whole govt and try again. The system is clearly broken beyond repair
Yes. When the wealthy and powerful have everything and the rest have nothing the rest burn the system down and start again.
Establishment dems are not up to it even if they could win now and they cannot. We need muscular populists that can build and run a political machine, new leadership across the board.
The problem is, I believe, that a large portion of the US population likes the current cruelty and revenge based regime. They are seething with resentment at being made to feel stupid by the "intellectual elites", backwards by the "progressives", ignorant by the "woke", etc and eat up the "you are right to hate those people who make you feel bad" message the christofascists are feeding them.
People put out these ideas, but I rarely see who or how they’d like them to be implemented. Who would you want to initiate the purge? Any democrat president fine?
Expanding the court is the generally anticipated way to do that
There are several examples from antiquity that show that the people will solve the problem of the government doesn't.
The vast majority of the time, the replacement ends up being worse. It's tricky business overthrowing a government, and the ones that end up on top are usually the most bloodthirsty and least ethical.
Found george orwell's alt account!
Joking, but with organization we could wrest control from these clowns if we got real strong leadership.
If we could organize, we wouldn't need a violent revolution.
Have no fear, organizing to oppose the establishment is quite violent. The labor movement had a lot of fights. From beating the shit out of the police in Minneapolis in the 1920s to the coal miners of Appalachia to the UAW.
That is why I think Sean Fain would be a good presidential candidate. He is willing to fight and honestly.

There’s a mechanism for impeaching Supreme Court justices, which would apply to the six criminals.
Or, just ignore them and start a parallel court. If they won’t do their job, why keep listening to them?
Every accusation is a confession
Can't wait until the people start fighting back violently.
Us Americans are not gonna protest. We are to busy looking at memes
When the alien anthropologists find the burnt out husk of our world in the (not so far) future and try to figure out what the hell happened, I hope they find Sotomayor's writings and realize not everyone was batshit crazy.
I hope they find my memes
People will study the art of your memes.
Did they just erase the 14th Amendment and made it null and void? https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv I get it now. It says no State and not no federal. Federal is not a State.
"Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Didn't the 14th Amendment also bind the federal government to the Bill of Rights at least? One ammendment did anyway but it was implemented oddly by the courts.
I am not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. However it seems to me that the Supreme Court really doesn't give a shit about the law, the Constitution, or our rights.
I mean the decision to give presidents immunity from the law made that glaringly obvious
We have all been figuring that out what every constitutional right not honored shit on one after another.
also not a lawyer, but I don't think it's required to see the vile shit that gas been packed into our government.
They gutted the 14th when they allowed Trump to run. They also used it to justify corporate personhood. Facists don’t really uphold anything ever except their own corruption and bigotry.
Terry stop was deemed legal in 1960s. This was expected as long a white people are safe or not effected.
Never heard of that before so for others:
A Terry stop in the United States allows the police to briefly detain a person based on reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity. Reasonable suspicion is a lower standard than probable cause which is needed for arrest.
Stop and Frisk was the common name. It was used on NYC to target....wait for it.... people of color.
Make America Gestapo Again
I am SO FUCKING GRUMPY after reading this as the first thing I saw waking up today
