smr-nj Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Complicit. The Supreme Court Justices who side with this absurd notion that presidential immunity is absolute are complicit in destroying this democracy. Un-freaking-believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Can you imagine what this court is going to be like when Democrats control the White House and both sides of Congress? It will be practically open war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfife Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Trumps lawyers were still arguing the notion that the president needs to be impeached before he is criminally charged..... I wonder what happens when a president just resigns before he gets impeached. If he does that, is he unable to be criminally charged?

pfife Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 (edited) So if they have to determine each act is personal or presidential, each of those is going to have a whole string of hearings and arguments and decisions and appeals. This is going nowhere anytime soon. Edited April 26 by pfife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 They are waiting for Trump to become president before they can finally rule 6-3 that presidents have no immunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRivdogs Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I can't buy this excuse. They certainly should be aware of the positions they (or their spouse) holds. The Trump Brain Worm has taken hold of so called conservatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Usually I just assume that people who promote horrible reactionaries are merely cynical partisan hacks, but every once in a while I have to wonder whether they are just aggressively ignorant or even stupid. Otherwise, how can they not see what’s so blindingly obvious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, how can they not see what’s so blindingly obvious? I can cut people a little slack around Thomas because he had honed the act of the aggrieved black man to an art and was able to take in a lot of people with it - but it shouldn't have taken too much of his record on the court to prove to anyone that he is a hack and a schill for his various sugar daddy business 'contributors'. There's the ignorance part I guess. With Alito, there is less excuse, he has been a small minded off the wall medievalist, royalist nut job from day one.

You don't need to see a flag on his house to know that Alito's mind is driven by a sense of Christian entitlement. Unless maybe his next claim will be that his wife is the one writing his decisions as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, pfife said: who bought the beach house and Roberts remains a total putz - he will go down as the chief of the most debased court in US history, either because he is too much of a closet right wing radical himself, or just too gutless to do his job. The idea that the chief has no real power is nonsense. How long would a justice stay on the court once a chief suspends his decision writing privileges?
