Why I never bought the Dem's "Scary Supreme Court" argument
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 12/09/2019 - 1:37pmOne of the main arguments for "Vote Blue No Matter Who" was what fascist Trump was going to appoint to the Supreme Court, and opposed to a "good liberal" that Hillary would appoint.
I never bought that argument, and this NY Times article from today is just a small example of why.
No I did not watch the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. (updated!)
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Thu, 09/27/2018 - 8:33pmMy Facebook friends did, though. I really couldn't care less what any of those people said on teevee. Here's my big question: why haven't they confirmed him already? The Republicans in power are the same sort of rapist that he is, and they face no real challenge from the Democrats (as evidenced by the Dem performance under Obama).

A Mental Case Judge?
A Mental Case Judge?
Have no doubt, the courts are being stacked with corporate elitists...not just in the US but around the world. There's no better illustration than the ongoing saga in Brazil. First while the Olympics were in Brazil the courts illegally oust Dilma as President and install Temer who failed to be elected several times. This summer past-President Lula is leading the polls, so he's sent to prison on trumped up charges...not given his constitutional rights. In Poland they are removing 27 judges from their Supreme Court. Around the world courts have been complicit with coups. Honduras comes to mind.

(Analysis.) Many liberal thinkers have put forth good reasons for senators to reject President Trump's nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. People for the American Way, one of a coalition of groups that delivered block-Gorsuch petitions with one million online signatures, cited his ...

Is this a way to kill Citizens United?
Submitted by Tony Wikrent on Sat, 01/28/2017 - 6:46pmJames Marc Leas is a patent attorney and a past co-chair of the National Lawyers Guild Palestine Subcommittee. On January 25, 2017, he posted The Supreme Court Supplied a Blueprint to Overcome "Citizens United" -- We Just Need to Use It. Perhaps not the best title, because we really don't expect anything decent to come out of SCOTUS.
#OneJusticeDown
Submitted by greywolfe359 on Tue, 01/24/2017 - 9:10pmAmong all the major headlines today, the one with the potential for the most lasting impact and damage is that Donald Trump has narrowed down his Supreme Court nominee list down to two or three and will formally nominate someone next week. The only reason he is set to nominate anyone at all, of course, is that the Republicans in the Senate refused to even hold a vote on President Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland in an unprecedented maneuver last year.
