Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I don't understand how the scotus didn't see this coming. What do dictators hate? Anyone who has any possible power over them, so what do dictators do? Arrest or kill any possibility of opposition and number one was always gonna be scotus. They killed themselves

This is why the Judicial branch needs to have its own fully separate, security forces/armed forces.

In theory, yes. But not the fucking Roberts, Alito, et all court.

So if Pam Bondi is just a sycophantic bootlicker, where exactly are the checks and balances? If she can weaponize her position to arrest justices for not bootlicking, then the system’s already collapsed. That’s game over.

I have never seen a face in as much need of meeting a high velocity crowbar as this cunt.

If a small fraction of us did stuff like that, these problems would be resolved very, very quickly.

Oohhhhh

All those Scotus justices making sure trump would be able to become king... Then they get nervous because king start behaving like a king and now king wants to kill them. Would could have seen this coming except everyone who has ever opened a history book?

These supreme Court justices are about as supreme as my ass.

They aren't even as supreme as a chalupa from fucking taco bell.

If zombies were real, Helen Thomas would be pissed these two don't have any brains to eat.

Why stop at justices, how about the president?

Fuck this is happening fast

And also not fast. It's highly stressful.

If they arrest a SCOTUS Judge they can be DANG SURE that they'll get at Least ONE STERN LETTER the Following Week or Two!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

And an obsequious "dissent" from that, too. As a treat.
