    The SC is hopelessly corrupt and should be dismantled.

      If memory serves, the French invented a huge apparatus for that, inspired by a bread slicer.

      Annual reminder that the SCOTUS decided that the SCOTUS has the power of Constitutional review.

      I’d suggest elevating more federal court justices for a period, durich which time they decide as a group what to take up and then randomly assign 5 or 7 to a case. After their stint they can either return to federal court or retire.

      they should just require a randomly selected jury for any ruling and the justices only job should be deciding what to present to jurors

        I’m not sure I’d like to trust a random jury to determine the interpretation of laws

          I can guarantee a randomly selected jury would do a better job than the current court.

            If we’re comparing with the current SC everything is an improvement. But if we’re going to change things, I would prefer a system that does not rely on easily manipulated, uneducated masses.

            Yeah you’d have to buy a dozen RVs instead of just one.

              I haven’t heard of a lot of jury tampering trials go well. And usually isnt it more of a mafia style “nice family you got there, would be a shame if something happened to it” situation?

    Moscow Mitch has always given in to foreign pressure to help Weird 34. The Turtle’s hypocrisy isn’t much of a surprise. Shame on Kentucky voters that voted for McConnell and against America.

    Garland would have been a better SCOTUS Justice than the Attorney General. If only we had someone better ready to move faster. But even if he had, wouldn’t SCOTUS have still stopped him? Hard to know for sure.

    We now know that Chief Justice Roberts is pro autocracy. His actions speak louder than his words. He thinks and has ruled that the President should have more power in the USA than the old kings of England had over their people and parliament. A king who is immune. Charles I got hung for thinking he had less power than what Roberts has granted Weird 34.

    From the article: “There is a risk of authoritarianism down the line.”

    I disagree. A Dementia Don win is an inevitability that we’ll have an autocrat in charge. Roberts may want to reflect on the monster he’s created, especially if the autocrat gets his way and dismisses SCOTUS as easily as dismissing the Constitution.

      Yep by the time Roberts gets his “let Roberts enforce it” moment from trump the Republic will be in shambles.

      If project 2025 gets in effect we will see civil war.

        We will see civil war no matter what if the court doesn’t change. It’s basically what happened last time.

        project 2025 has been a thing since 1981 and all of our presidents and congress people have already enacted nearly 75% of it so far; people have been accepting it since then; also attacking leftists for pointing it out since; and there will be no civil war because of these facts.

      I’m using FF & don’t have that issue nor have I elsewhere.

      Sometime extensions cause issues if you have any installed.

      It’s a sadness, but I also have occasional issues with Firefox. It’s still the best browser by far, but its share is so small, more and more developers aren’t testing their pages in Firefox any more.

      Doesn’t make no never mind to me. If a page doesn’t work in Firefox, I can do without.
