and got away with it with no pushback that we know of from his fellow justices, I should have seen the writing on the wall. Yes, the heritage foundation justices are thin skinned and whine when criticized, but bottom line is they don't care about public opinion.
Even the liberals seem way too worried about being fair to cheato's lawyer. His arguments were in bad faith and dangerous in the extreme and should have been treated as such.
But a court that is going to let Thomas sit on a case his wife is involved in does not take the people's case seriously. And there is no way that they are concerned with even appearing fair.

(47,428 posts)They get up and spout nonsense, they don't even make an effort to do their homework and look prepared.
No one will make them do their jobs, make them pretend to be fair or act like they give a shit about their jobs.
Or stop their corruption.
The SC knows there is no one who can or will take them to task.

(5,201 posts)President Biden arrests them and appoints replacements.
IF they give him immunity, they will have ended our Constitutional Republic.
Think. Again.
(8,422 posts)...if they give the President immunity based on the arguments at hand, it would be legal and constitutionally correct for Biden to have them all assasinated.

(1,830 posts)That Trump would propose. Biden doesnt have the authority to arrest members of the Supreme Court and appoint alternate justices, just like he cant arrest members of Congress and appoint new ones. Its shocking that anyone on this website would propose such a blatantly unconstitutional and illegal act.

(5,201 posts)That is the point. A President, Biden, has to try to save the Country from a Supreme Court that would allow a dictator destroy our Constitution...what do think plan B should be?

(1,830 posts)Should never be ignore the rule of law and do whatever we want because we think its best.

(5,201 posts)For any and all crimes...the Supreme Court creates lawlessness. Our Constitution does not say a President can do whatever they like without consequences.
TexasDem69
(1,830 posts)It just means Trump cant be the prosecuted for certain crimes. Thats not lawlessness
Bluethroughu
(5,201 posts)That same period, we didn't have a President try to committ a coup, attack Congress, sell nuclear secrets to a dude hanging at his club, and keep lying about winning an election he lost not only at the ballot box, but in court to many times to count.
Are you paying attention to the level of lawlessness that has already happened in our country by this vile rapist.
Seriously, if he's not the face of lawlessness, who is?

(1,830 posts)Just because you hate Trump. Everyone on DU hates Trump but that doesnt mean we go rogue state. The ends dont always justify the means.

(1,830 posts)Serve until impeached. Biden removing any judge violates the Constitution. I support the rule of law. You should too.

(5,201 posts)Court Republican judges choose a lawless insurrectionist to recieve immunity for all crimes committed, we no longer have a Constitution.
We will have a dictator, and they don't operate under a rule of law.
TexasDem69
(1,830 posts)He cant be a dictator. And the Court isnt going to rule that way, so this is all much ado about nothing. A tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

(677 posts)How do you know when it's a non-serious argument? When they clearly and completely insult your intelligence and don't even smile.

(1,830 posts)That was the question. I wasnt asking for a definition of the term.

(538 posts)We need something like a ten year term limits for Federal Judges and Supreme Court Justices. They are too unaccountable with lifetime appointments.

(4,720 posts)The court is leaking damaged decisions into the body politic, and that Is dangerous for we the people and our common welfare.
TexasDem69
(1,830 posts)It hardly requires a response. What decisions do you think the court has issued that are inconsistent with the Constitution? Not that you disagree with, but that cant be reconciled with the constitution.

(1,830 posts)Because thats what were talking about.

(5,201 posts)Supreme Court ruled women had the right to an abortion because it was their body, uterus.
Now it's everyone's but the woman.
Neighbors can report to authorities, as a crime taking place, about woman or people helping those woman, make decisions about their own bodies and health.
How do you comport that as being Constitutional by this court?
TexasDem69
(1,830 posts)And definitely not what Dobbs said. But you still havent answered my question. How was Dobbs inconsistent with the Constitution? What specific portions of the Constitution do you think Dobbs violated?
