Of course the Supreme Court has been doing this for decades and receiving only sycophantic coverage in return.

Other leagues, too. Baseball’s reinstatement of Pete Rose was an invitation.

Congress has near-absolute power over the court’s jurisdiction. We should ask if there’s *anything* the court does that can’t be done as competently and honestly by a circuit court (which, because of numbers, are harder to corrupt).

Why *hasn’t* there been an all-singing, all-dancing musical version? With the hits “Emptiness” and “That Futile Feeling.”

Obviously he means the opposite. He wouldn’t have been appointed if he had an ounce of integrity.

Two of the politicians named in the article are all-stars in New Mexico’s long and colorful history of political corruption.

A Supreme Court justice who doesn’t understand the concept of “rights,” instead applying them on a sliding scale. In K’s defense, he was probably drunk when he wrote it.

It’s difficult to understand why Cervantes is in the Democratic caucus except Republicans have more self-respect than to admit him.

They are absolutely NOT engaged in a legal enterprise. Basing decisions on politics is not fundamentally different from basing them on bribes.

Trump doesn’t believe anyone genuinely cared about anyone else. He literally can’t conceive of that possibility.

The Roberts court made Brown v Bd of Educ a dead letter and suffered no blowback for it.

Kennedy is actually pretty clear: he says America was healthier in the 1960s, when lives were shorter and infant mortality was higher, that is, when weaker specimens were eliminated. He wants to return to that.

The first I saw smith was while walking thru an airport and I thought I was seeing someone have a seizure on live tv

Allen - obviously! - has no objection to pedophilia. He’s done with pretending otherwise. But how does he keep getting money to make so many terrible movies? It’s as mysterious as Epstein’s own fortune.

No non-lawyer needs to read the opinions, which are rationales cooked up after the fact *by 25 yr old clerks* to justify decisions made by their justices for entirely unrelated reasons.

It’s terrific

If the man had any integrity, he wouldn’t be on the Supreme Court. He was selected strictly for his political reliability. A machine politician.

In the justice’s defense, he was drunk at the time
September 8, 2025 at 3:12 PM
Well, and voila! Brown v. Bd of Educ is overturned and MSM doesn’t even notice!

People are reluctant to work out what Kennedy means when he says Americans were healthier years ago. He means the population as a whole was healthier when the vulnerable were eliminated.

I think he knows. He thinks that keeping kids alive who would otherwise have died was/is a bad thing. He’s an addict with brain damage. Nothing complicated about his thought processes.

Lol. It’s taken huge coordinated effort across many law enforcement agencies to make New Mexico the pedestrian and bicyclist slaughtering capital of the US.

How often has the democratic candidate won the popular vote for President since 2000? It’s 5-2 in favor of the one no one likes
