SCOTUS: Illegitimate Arm of the MAGA Reich - How Far They Have Fallen [View all]

Anyone still clinging to the fantasy of a lawful and fair-minded 'supreme' court in this land, one guided by principles of law, precedent, and just plain ass ol' INTEGRITY, must, by now, be shaken in that belief, considering the latest stew of sh*t that been brewed up by the reich-winged conservative collaborators in the dismantling of our nation's DEMOCRACY. The latest being the actual WEIGHING of (if that can be believed) the presidential 'right' to KILL the opposition.

They do Vladimir SO proud:

Donald Trump had a fantastic day in the Supreme Court today - Vox It’s unclear if the Court will explicitly hold that Trump could commit crimes with impunity, or if they’ll just delay his trial so long that it doesn’t matter.

Alito complains 'special' Trump shouldn't be 'subject to criminal laws like anybody else' - Rawstory

MAGA's information war just had 'big victory' in immunity hearing: authoritarianism expert - Rawstory

American historian and expert on authoritarianism Ruth Ben-Ghiat said Donald Trump's MAGA movement had won by getting the former president's immunity hearing before the Supreme Court — no matter how the justices rule.

Taking to social media, she wrote, "Whatever the Court does, having this case heard and the idea of having immunity for a military coup taken seriously by being debated is a big victory in the information war that MAGA and allies wage alongside legal battles. Authoritarians specialize in normalizing extreme."

Experts alarmed by Thomas’ part in Trump immunity case despite 'insurrectionist' wife - Rawstory
Clarence Thomas' wife, GOP activist Ginni Thomas, played an ACTIVE ROLE in Trump's efforts to overturn the 2024 presidential election results

'Fundamentally evil': Sotomayor rips attorney who says Trump could assassinate rivals - Rawstory

"Trump is likely to get what he wants": Experts say Supreme Court poised to delay Jan. 6 trial - Salon
The court seems unlikely to accept Trump's "extreme" immunity claim — but appears poised to drag case out longer

MEANWHILE:

Supreme Court Conservatives Weave Anti-Abortion Fantasyland To Allow Emergency Room Abortion Bans - TPM via Yahoo

The Court’s conservative wing tried with increasing and atextual persistence to convince listeners that Idaho’s strict ban still allows emergency room doctors to provide abortions to women in varying states of medical distress, and not just when doctors are sure the patient is facing death. They crafted a kind of anti-abortion fantasyland where not only do exceptions work, but that the narrowest ones will amenably stretch to cover all the sympathetic cases.

A TOM IN EVERY PLOT:

Clarence Thomas Is The Black Person Clarence Thomas Warned You About - Huffpost The Supreme Court justice has been all the things he claims to hate: a welfare queen, a duplicitous double agent, a diversity hire, a beneficiary of reparations, and a minstrel show.
