Why Kavanaugh is on the SCOTUS because they didn’t care to investigate the allegations against him, just dismissed it as “political “.

When this is over and in the history books, the judiciary( sans the SCOTUS!) will be remembered as the heros that held the line on democracy.

Congress and SCOTUS are derelict in their duty to the degree of treason. Let's NEVER forget that.

there are two things about this, one is that there is no prime minister of switzerland, he's talking about the president of the swiss confederation, which is a different thing entirely, and, two, i'm not sure you could make a more persuasive case to SCOTUS for nuking tariffs than this one
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

SCOTUS continues to take its sweet time to rule on constitutionally of POTUS imposing tariffs.

So Samuel Alito may retire this summer. Remember all the things we’ve been saying about Senate Dems denying unanimous consent to bring the chamber to a total halt?
Well, that’s when they should use them.
Block ALL confirmations. Including the new Trump SCOTUS nominee. Stop the Senate completely.

So @elienyc.bsky.social and @strictscrutiny.bsky.social have speculated that Alito may retire soon. I agree. Elie lays out the case here—it'd be odd to release a memoir in October if he's (a) still serving and (b) unable to promote it because he's hearing arguments. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Is Samuel Alito Preparing to Disrobe?
In this installment of Elie v. US, our justice correspondent explores the week’s big legal news, including a possible Alito retirement. Also, the anti-trans mob’s latest target: tight clothing.

Every one of Trump’s appointees believes it.
Elon and the oligarchs believe it.
The majority of SCOTUS believe it.
Republicans in Congress somewhat believe it.
We have to prove a lot of people wrong.

I'm not into prediction markets... but this has all of the makings of a SCOTUS retirement. His book goes on sale on October 6, 2026--the day after OT2026 starts . . . and now a new hagiographic biography? Hmmmmmm.

I think @nberlat.bsky.social and I have discussed how incredibly annoying this attitude is. For one, it suggests that Democrats should be afraid of openly calling out SCOTUS for its corruption and fascism enabling, as if that would cost us elections.

Ten years ago today, #SCOTUS issued five unsigned and unexplained 5-4 rulings granting emergency applications to block President Obama’s Clean Power Plan—a completely unprecedented move that helped to usher in the Court’s modern … (mis)adventures … with its shadow docket.

209. The Modern Emergency Docket Turns Ten
The February 2016 rulings blocking the Clean Power Plan were unprecedented; in retrospect, they were harbingers of a paradigm shift in the Supreme Court's role.

Like it or not, the justices are about to see AI versions of themselves, speaking words that they spoke in court but that were not heard contemporaneously by anyone except those in the courtroom.

This case had been heading toward SCOTUS, with DOJ due to file a response to Bannon's high court petition. But DOJ repeatedly postponed and now appears to want to end the matter without the justices' review.
