Yes, we know. We've been railing about it for the better part of a year. Now, JUSTICE Alito, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?!? I'm sick and tired of people in power telling us how awful it is that our constitutional rights are being taken out back and ass blasted by a donkey dick on a daily basis. How about you use some of that authority you have to fix the problem?
And also we have to think about possible consequences of basic rights case being ruled against. What I mean by that. Conservative justices can't allow individual rights case to be accepted if they don't feel it will be ruled in favor of.
Let's say someone brings 1st amendment case citing frustration of his rights to practice his religion due to C0VID. Let's also say conservative judges vote to accept it. We have to think of consequences if that case is then ruled against. It would create legal precedent infringing constitutional right.
So, they not only have to wait until a case makes it way through courts and reach SCOTUS, but they have to feel confident about majority before they accept it.
"Complicated stuff, sorry to keep you waiting" :)
He can’t do anything until a case is brought the to SCOTUS
His ending quote is ominous and highlights the real problem that we have.
"In the end, there is only so much the judiciary can do to protect our Constitution and the Liberty it was adopted to protect. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women, when it dies there no Constitution, no law, no court can do much to help it. For all Americans, that are standing up for our Constitution and our Freedom is work that lies ahead. It will not be easy work."
