Turns out when you're blind with hatred, you make hasty mistakes.

They have assured it. We should send a card expressing our sentiment for the gesture. Any ideas on a theme for the card?

It's a very good point.

When you have the country divided so starkly, that's when SCOTUS has to step in.

Most of them probably realize, that however they decide, half the country is going to be pissed off.

Maybe that will inspire them to do the right thing.

That's the thing. They can do the right thing or not.

If they do the right thing. yeah, half the country is pissed off.

If they don't do the right thing.. then we don't have a country and the half that would of been pissed off doesn't matter anymore, since we don't have a country to begin with.

Well now the stakes are higher, but the 18 red states joining also made it pretty important

Not sure what the point of the Supreme Court is if they only take easy cases with precedent

......... and the briefs read like a “liberal arts lawyer” wrote them.

The claim of the dc+18 states, is that there's no original jurisdiction in this case. All they asked is that SCOTUS not take their case. There was no defense of the actions of those states.

It’s always hubris that gets them in the end.

Ok, so what is the timeline from here? When do they decide next step?
