The Supremes
As shitty as Alito and Thomas are, I'm coming to hate Roberts more than any of them. He operates under the guise of a traditional SC Justice, but he's obviously been playing the long game to ensure that the U.S. is ultimately an oligarchy where the ultra-rich continue to be able to fuck the rest of us without any recourse. Between the VRA cases, Citizens United, Loper Bright, etc., it's pretty clear that he exists only to do the Kochs' bidding. There was a pretty good piece in the Harvard Law Journal about this, but it predated all the most recent shenanigans: The Roberts Court's Assault on Democracy (HLJ) It should be clear by now that, even if we manage to keep Trump out of office, we have to fix the USSC one way or another.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
They're up and coming, but it feels like the current MAGA team starters are coming from Colleyville, Keller and Roanoke. A little shocked to see Southlake proper is a bit lighter pink, given the high profile racism in their schools.

Bitch is going to curve north just enough so that Austin gets 2 drops of rain and 48 hours of 45mph wind, isn't she?

So is that enough that we won't see the CyberNinjas being brought in to contest the count on this one?

"Well, akshually, the military should still refuse the illegal order - it's just that the President has immunity related to the illegal order. And would never be removed by our dysfunctional Congress. And would probably have immunity for ordering other troops to murder the military guy who refused the order. Soooo, it pretty much works out exactly how we would want it to work ..." / Lawdogsplaining why we shouldn't be worried

Wait a minute - the Supreme Court doesn't have an army. I guess that means they need to shut the fuck up ...

Even worse, it's going to be Matthew Kacsmaryk, the 47-yr old loon in West Texas ALL of us have heard of by now.

The Supremes
If you're thinking about going there, kinda seems like you'd need to go full "Night of the Long Knives" - Alito, Thomas, Leonard Leo, Kevin Roberts and the other head fascists at the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation, the Kochs, Jeff Yass, McConnell, etc. All of these sonsabitches are hell-bent on destroying democracy, and you know they're going to be shopping for the next Trump once he's gone.

... and is, on the whole, so stunningly scientifically ignorant at a time when we are confronting potentially existential threats (climate change, AI, etc.). I'm sure that this will work out well for us, though.

We are irrevocably stupider and making sure that the stupid have more power.

Yeah, I look forward to the exhibitions of "special competence" by Judges Cannon and Kacsmaryk ...

Apparently, the MAGA wing of the court doesn't believe in stare decisis after all ...

The WAY too early June Presidential Debate thread
This is the thing. People really need to realize that, with Project 2025, the Dems may not ever be able to unfuck everything that Trump and co do in the next 4 years. And that assumes that they are able to get elected, which assumes that (1) there are functioning elections in 2028 and beyond and (2) Americans have enough sense to realize that the Republicans are the ones that are fucking them. To reiterate, we are totally fucked. Totes fucked.

Among the Dems, Michelle with Barack acting as chief of staff might have the best shot to unite the Dems in time for the election ...

The Supremes
Only makes sense given Biden, the FBI, the CIA, Jason Bourne and the Jackal have been coordinating on a plan to assassinate Trump at the debate. The court obviously doesn't want Biden to know that he'll be immune if he goes through with that ...
