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".
This is tyranny. Literal and explicit, without exaggeration.
Understand that and act accordingly.
It's time to purge the Supreme Court. It's clear that they don't give a shIt about the law or the constitution. They are the activist judges the Republicans always whined about.
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.
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.
Yes. Revolutions are almost always bloody and the result is almost always worse. The people, though, will have a taste for revolution and the second comes easier.
I assume you are pretty confident that you'll survive the purge in-between. Too bad it won't be true for everyone, but I'm sure that's a sacrifice you are willing to make.
That was childish.
And these tough-guy calls for violent revolution aren't? Please.
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
It passed with 66.6% of supreme court judges voting in favour.
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.

Agents? How could you possibly know?
