I'm starting to think so. I was going to reply with some of the times they prevailed true justice that was in our favor but I can't think of any to be honest. Everything has slowly been moving farther and farther left.
The worst part is the BETRAYAL, the UNFORCED ERROR. We could have had THREE more Clarence Thomases or Scalisis, instead of Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barretts. That would have changed everything, to have a 6-3 SCOTUS. We were betrayed by the people who were supposed to protect us, and sadly Trump either played into their trap or just didn't get the job done.
Not really. Barrett came highly recommended by the Scalia family. How is that an unforced error? Who knew she was such a weak person?
Anyway. We don't know whether we are getting a Souter or a Thomas when we nominate these people. Hell, even Souter ruled "conservatively" for a while before the Washington DC cocktail circuit got to him.
Unforced because the Democrats did not MAKE the Republicans choose her. It was up to the Republicans to do their Due Diligence and make DAMN sure their candidate was absolutely beyond reproach. They failed, and it wasn't because of anything the Democrats did. Therefore, unforced. Who knew? They were supposed to know. If we accept failure the other side is too good at beating us, then we're just are just going to die out and be forgotten in history.
You can blame the Scalia family, the Federalist Society, Trump/Us in that order, I guess. So how could we have done this differently? Sounds like we need a ground up re-tooling of conservative law.
In some areas, judges are selected by election. Everybody who goes to vote asks, "Who are these guys? Who should we vote for?" Nobody really knows anything about judges.
One way to remedy that would be to make some kind of a record, maybe website, with some legal scholars we trust (Robert Barnes, Viva Frei, Nick Rekieta, Dershowitz, etc.) giving scores on some kind of a website that tracks their backgrounds, cases and decisions. Or it could be open to all legal scholars and you check the ones you trust and filter by that.
Another way would be that we have a movement or group that represents us and our values, who we can trust to select judges who also represent our values. We could come up with a fancy name for that group, like "Republic-people", or "Republicans" or something like that. Then when we elect them into government, to head the Senate or be President, they would select judges who would vote according to the Constitution and protecting the Republic.
and 90% of our government is completely owned by one radical authoritarian ideology. But a supreme court justice MUST be expert and experienced, and wise, about law, the Republic, and the Constitution. That is precisely what they rule on.
Justice Thomas wasn't even a judge before the GW Bush administration. The law isn't rocket science or brain surgery. It's about reason and research. And making up believable bullshit.
Because she was one of Scalia's clerks and the family knew her very well through Scalia. If Justice Scalia had badmouthed her behind her back, they wouldn't have pushed her the way they did.
I agree that it's tough. But imagine somebody wants you dead and sets up a duel to decide your fate a la Game of Thrones. They choose a murderous giant called "The Mountain". You could either face this guy yourself, or choose a hero to do it for you. Yeah, it's dangerous, and yeah, most people couldn't do it. But it's up to you, and more particularly your advisors, to choose somebody who CAN do it, and it's up to the hero to advertise themselves correctly as somebody who can do the fight. Otherwise you can make as many excuses as you want for why they failed, but they will still fail and you will still be dead at the end of it.
Q never said it was coming in our benefit.
Bible warned us, we were fools to think anyone was actually trying, or capable, of stopping it. "Its gonna be Biblical"
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
More of what we ALL expect.
The so-called "Supreme Court" is full of shit. They are SCUM. And either being blackmailed or are just super weak. What's even the point?
Fucking bullshit!!! They no longer care!
They never did
astronaut meme

Pretty much.
We have reached peak: "You are a slave and you will do what you are told, do not think. Pay your taxes and vote using Dominion."
...maybe they will care if certain local elections officials and their families got involuntarily pulled into PvP Minecraft sessions?
Not advocating anything, just making note of the possibility and posing a question around it.
They never did.
they had plenty of comments -- just behind doors
1776! its go time patriots. this has gone far enough
The one downvote is the FBI knowing that this is getting that serious.
Think you assholes boiled the frog too long.
No ones gonna do shit but bitch online
yup
The corruption is now complete. All 3 branches are in on it. Time for the military to take them down.
The military's in on it, too. They ain't gonna do shit. If something's going to happen, it's up to we the people.
Hey!
The military are doing a lot and going to great lengths, to make sure wrong-think doesn't exist.
amen!
Wouldn't hold your breath. Look at how much everyone has already allowed to get through. This nation is fucked.
Our Military is a joke like wtf
I feel like Yoda, with all his wisdom and what not couldn't see it coming. How could th SC justices have fooled conservatives so thoroughly?
child blood's a hell of a drug
Because the main rule is that it is illegal to use a legal name.
BAR-people know this very well and are more than willing to lie about it..

I'm open to other ideas.
One-third of our government is completely owned by one profession. I would like to see a supreme court justice who isn't a lawyer.
and 90% of our government is completely owned by one radical authoritarian ideology. But a supreme court justice MUST be expert and experienced, and wise, about law, the Republic, and the Constitution. That is precisely what they rule on.

pretty much, the establishment class has been corrupt for a while
but why would what the scalia family say matter?
Because she was one of Scalia's clerks and the family knew her very well through Scalia. If Justice Scalia had badmouthed her behind her back, they wouldn't have pushed her the way they did.
I don't think there are many people alive who wouldn't fold when the Deep State explains how you're going to vote on these cases.
They are pedophiles. They murder children and do ghastly things to them. They will do that to their children and make them watch.
There is no peaceful solution to our problem.

It needs to be illegal to dismiss without comment.
They still have the one from AZ that was filed last week, no?
I think that's AZ GOP not Trump?
Yea plaintiff was Staci Burk iirc
I'm convinced they are Pedophiles and being blackmailed.
Everyone in power seems to be a pedo
Scotus can join the rest In Gitmo
So, now what?
grassroots organizations, get politically involved or start organizing a militia
up to you
ammo box...
The supreme court is moot.....when lawmakers break the law there is no law....only a fight for survival.....
It's almost like some people think the NWO can be beaten.
"Can't stop what's coming...."

They're no longer a Court with standing. John Robert's needs to be put in front of a firing squad. This country deserves better than these imposters.
was there a vote?
