Counterpoint:

The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.

So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.

There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

I do not, nor will I ever, feel bad for Trump. I want him suffering and miserable for the rest of his days.
It's almost impossible to make me feel sorry for Trump, but the sheer depth of his brokeness, combined with his age, the utter humiliation involved in this farce was making me legit sad.

Thank you, Federalist Society, for giving us a bench of jurists who believe that the emanations of 1789 have a greater claim to law than the laws passed by Congress and signed by the president.
JUST IN: A 2-1 panel of the D.C. Circuit rules that Trump may remove members of the NLRB or MSPB regardless of laws meant to shield them from removal without cause.

People ignore how much this is led by admin sclerosis and 4chan R interns wanting to brag to their chat buddies in Europe that they are gonna save them from the globalist filth

Much of all public online nature of this admin is that all interns are Nazi /pol/ posters
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

You'd think the President repeatedly spewing increasingly more racist shit daily would be newsworthy. Maybe one could even call it a trend. Perhaps it can tell us something about the Republican party broadly.

Or maybe journalists can keep grading Trump on a curve because this is "normal" for him.

Once again, "imagine getting to place a side bet on your kids soccer game" is an indicator of severe levels of degeneracy and in a healthier/more functional society, we would nuke these ppl & their entire business model from orbit
Oh, no it’s even worse than that. I was in a pitch meeting for one of these that said “imagine getting to place a side bet on your kid’s soccer game”. Their plan was to bet on people completing everyday activities
Fuckin people watching Netflix making prop bets on what minute of the episode we’re first gonna see Vecna. People betting on whether it’s gonna be a Toyotathon commercial or an Activia commercial. Just a little QR code in the bottom corner of every show asking you to bet on everything.
