To anyone who has children 

how does it make you feel knowing that it’s very likely this country will be fucked all the way to the great grandchildren? Possibly great-great 

I have nieces who have less rights today than the day they were born.

That is not how this is supposed to go. 

[rpgamer]

The pessimist in me thinks the country's kinda fucked until further notice, until/unless we can actually rewrite, or at a minimum amend, the constitution to enshrine protections etc etc... which feels like a not great situation to be in when clearly half the people in power would take that opportunity to further strip protections etc.

It's like we need pulled kicking and screaming into the modern era.

Like.. I'm sorta at least hopeful that the march of progress is inevitable, one small step at a time, no matter how much gets thrown in the way.. I just don't feel entirely confident in our capacity to remove those obstacles as long as half the damn country is convinced we don't need to change ever, and in fact we need to stop changing and also undo any changes we've made.

'Kavanaugh' sounds like a foreign name. He might not be here legally.

And considering how many stories I can think of from my youth of people getting so shitfaced they accidentally backroad drove into a foreign country [ Canada/America border antics... ], it could very easily be true.

I hope they don’t hear that hag’s case and if they do, fuck. Cuz the only reason they’d agree to hear it is if they were going to overturn based off any challenge regardless of how weak 

I wanna know if they decided on Trump’s tariff shit yet. The one where Trump claims he can so create tariffs whenever he wants because of that emergency import export thing wtf lol 

[1pooh4u]

I think the Supreme Court just let Trump continue to fuck w SNAP benefits. They are fuckin evil 

[1pooh4u]

Wow they did. These lower courts are useless. This fuckin court needs to be dismantled. At least 3 of those Injustices have to go

Idgaf that it’s temporary. This is serious. Families, people of all ages are going hungry because the rich should have it all and the poor should have nothing. 
 

The dems put forth a fair proposal. Extend the tax credit for the ACA one more year and let the people decide in 2026 with their votes what they want. GOP said “hell no”

[discolé monade]

i think it's time to take another look at the project 2025 proposal. 

i thought someone posted it. 

[1pooh4u]

Idk if I want to dive into this right now but it’s a Project 2025 tracker that explains how much of it he’s accomplished and what

I really don't get why they put a stay on the district court's ruling when the appellate court already decided not to do so and is going to hear the case soon. They're just making the lower courts look completely obsolete if they're going to immediately just overrule any decision they reach. They're just making a mockery of the entire judicial system and of themselves at this point.

Note: The administration is rerouting birth control funds to "menstraul cycle education classes...to try to prevent pregnancy without using birth control".

 

 

 

Note: HHS has terminated at least 80 contracts related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility; Dept. of Education cut contracts to support students with disabilities, low-income schools; Trump signed an executive order targeting "woke" AI models.

I was reading that Justice Jackson stayed the order, but she did it because it was the best decision she could make. Apparently had she decided to continue the lower court ruling the SC would have overruled her and did it anyway but worse. Her having done it puts a clearer finish line to release the funds than if she were overruled 

 

ETA I agree with you though the SCOTUS is making the lower courts look  useless

I really can’t even imagine how she must have felt having to do that but it’s a good strategy if I’m understanding it correctly

not only is justice blind, but she has yet to learn how to maneuver through the art of the deal.

Dude wore a maxipad on his ear for a week and his base was fine with it. A guy who's a sexual predator and pedophile. 

No one in this administration should have any say in women's reproductive health decisions.

Thomas is probably screaming into a pillow right now. 

[Raptorpat]

That was the big question - he wrote that overturning Roe should lead to revisiting all the privacy cases but the other judges very explicitly said their overturning Roe was unique and wouldn't cascade onto the other decisions. Basically admitting it was the culmination of a 50-year hit job. To that end, at least Thomas is being ideologically consistent even if it's a dogshit opinion.

Supreme Court to hear case that could vastly expand presidential powers

Proving that history does repeat itself, in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to fire an FTC commissioner over ideological disagreements. In that case, called Humphrey's Executor, the court unanimously held that while the president has the power to remove purely executive officers for any reason, that unlimited power does not extend to agencies like the FTC, whose duties "are neither political nor executive, but predominantly quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative."

They’re definitely overturning that 90 yo precedent. It’s crazy. I wonder what kind of mental gymnastics will be used by the SCOTUS if a democrat ever gets the presidency again. 
 

sometimes it seems like (cuz I’m not a lawyer) the Injustices make narrow decisions that seem to only apply to Trump or very specific circumstances that apply to him. Hasn’t necessarily been the case lately but it seems like this would be a thing they wouldn’t like if a Democrat wanted to do it. If a Dem wanted it the 6 circus seals on the bench would arf, “bUt mAiH hUmPhReY’S”

Jay Kuo. I think he used to be a lawyer, now he’s a writer, and political and legal analyst. He’s good buddies with George Takei. Anyway he’s got a substack and guest writes for another. 
 He breaks down what could happen if the 90 year precedent of the Humphrey’s decision is overturned. Humphrey was an FTC commissioner and FDR wanted to fire him. He refused to resign.

the implications of this being overturned sounds disturbing and unsafe. Everything that’s been happening is straight out of Project 2025. The thing Trump knew nothing about 🙄

[1pooh4u]

What’s that thing in Revelations? Something about the Devil coming to Earth pretending to be Jesus, but only the righteous would see through the disguise? Many would be fooled into following Satan, thinking he’s the savior? Some dark shit like that. I think we might be at that point.

i think i might take another crack at reading revolations. 

for reasons. 

i'd also like to see what other religions say about the end of days. 

i was just telling my .50 (i'm using this now, disregardless >_> of how you feel about it. )

that 2012 myan calandar- i think it happened. we just are now seeing...

Find this version if you can and read it. It has swears.

 

And yes, there's the whole end times thing where people would follow the false prophet and believe all the lies. The sad thing is there are plenty of people who would more than willingly do so knowing its all fake and horrible because they think it will bring Jesus back faster and they'll all totally get physically lifted to heaven and given a mansion full of slaves [ yep, slaves ] and candy and puppies. Which in Noem's case, she's use for skeet shooting.
