The Supreme Court is guilty of obstruction of justice.

Not only that, they are in violation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

It is no secret that Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni, assisted the insurrectionists on January 6th, 2021.

By preventing Donald Trump from going to trial, the present Justices are "aiding and abetting" the insurrectionists and they are violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

They have become nothing more than partisan puppets.

Worst SC in American history.

10. Bottom line, traitors. 8

[Irish_Dem]

12. Yes those aiding and abetting a traitor are traitors too.

[Lovie777]

2. Yep...........................

they are also giving shithole the green light for another coup.

4. Those power hungry SCROTUS vultures will stop at nothing.

SCROTUS= Supreme Court Republicans Of The United States

[gab13by13]

5. We absolutely know that Ginni participated in the coup,

she should be under investigation by the FBI. We are supposed to believe that Ginni kept what she did a secret from Clarence? Give me a break.

I see that Sheldon Whitehouse just cane out with a statement that Thomas should have recused himself on the immunity appeal.

We have too many should have's and ifs and could ofs.

[ScratchCat]

21. Its going to come out

That without Thomas' vote, both the stay and the appeal would have been denied. Mark it down.

6. Co-Conspirators

Just-Us: No one is above the law who is not a fascist traitor.

[MOMFUDSKI]

7. They are untouchable

and they don’t mind flaunting it

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Rarely do the stars align

Women's rights, a good economy, lower inflation, no Trump trial and the appearance of a SC coverup.

Americans focus on the situation and vote their gut.

We would need north of 290 Democratic House members, and around 70 Democratic Senators to even think about removing a Justice.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but we won't get there.

[et tu]

14. we'll see

[dlk]

9. SCOTUS could have voted to allow the DC trial to continue

Instead, they voted for a delay to protect Ginny Thomas, an unindicted co-conspirator, in the plot to overthrow the government. They have betrayed us all.

[WiVoter]

11. Question: With Our System of Checks & Balances

Is the only check on the Supreme Court’s power impeachment?

[bucolic_frolic]

15. No but the other remedies are weak

Public opinion. Laws to restrict judicial power, and you need to pass them into law. The budgeting power of Congress.

[lark]

13. The Facist Traitor 6.

They are determined to destroy our way of life and implement a serfs and barons model of society. They are fascists destroying us to promote the wealthy and tear down the middle class and kill of the poverty stricken by making mandatory births, stopping free education and kiling Medicare and Social Security. That is the Federalist plan and it's taking shape in front of our eyes.

[jaxexpat]

18. I think you have it. Could you reduce it to a bumper sticker?

[RANDYWILDMAN]

16. naked partisanship

hope they knew better and did it anyways. I hate how brash and perverted the repubs/cons have truly become, it's sickening, It feels like since Bush/gore and maybe before cons/repubs have been ok with "let them sort this mess out, we make the mess the democratic party cleans it all up" what a terrible place to continually be put.... lets freaking vote then

[Johonny]

17. They have essentially given Trump immunity

From prosecution up and until they decide if he has actual immunity. If they never issue a ruling Trump is immune forever.

[ScratchCat]

19. This was planned out by the Conservative Justices

Just think about it....

When Smith asked them to take the case in December before the appellate court heard it, the justices knew for a fact that the appeals court would not side with Trump or otherwise make a ruling contrary to the trial court. They knew that Trump would appeal the decision to them once the appeals court handed down its obviously expected ruling. So by declining it then, and insisting on taking it now, its clear that they had decided on this plan back in December as a way to stop the trial before the election. RW wackdoodle radio essentially confirmed this yesterday(by their projection that the SCOTUS had foiled the Whitehouse's plan to "make" Trump a felon before the election).

Thomas, Alito and the cabal came up with this some time last year and knew they were going to pull this all along. There is really no other possibility. I'm also afraid that they are going to go off on a tangent away from the specific question asked and essentially say that the things Trump and Company were planning to do were "close enough" to official Presidential acts and discussing options is "legal advice" not "Criminal conspiracy", therefore he can't be charged for simply lying to the American people and talking with his advisors behind the scenes. That's my fear now. They won't grant any sort of blanket immunity to the office of the President; they'll just carve out an exception to these specific charges.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. Shouldn't the TFG pocket-judges recuse themselves from this case?

Asking for an anti-fascism friend.......

[ScratchCat]

26. Given that this involves criminal charges

It is my opinion that no judge or justice appointed by Trump can ethically hear a case involving him.

It was completely unethical for Judge Cannon to accept the case in Florida, especially after she essentially tried to prevent the charges from even being filed in the first place and had an appeals court state that she invented law on behalf of the petitioner. There is no argument to be made that taking the case is ethical. None. She already demonstrated bias and she is in violation of the Constitution by hearing the case. I am baffled that there wasn't an outcry from the judicial community and that she wasn't "forced" to recuse.

Keep in mind, a Florida judge in the Desantis-Disney suit said he HAD TO recuse himself because a relative through marriage had Disney stock in her IRA portfolio. That's ridiculous, that a judge could look "biased" in that case because of an insignificant investment in a portfolio owned by a second degree relative. But a judge appointed by the politician who has now been charged with a crime is free to hear the case, even when said judge has already acted in a manner contrary to the law?

We are living in bizarro world which has been created to accommodate one, single human being.

Now, as someone else pointed out, this SCOTUS decision once again benefits one, single American at the expense of every other American.

[republianmushroom]

22. Many members (justices) of this SC are guilty of crimes, from tax evasion to perjury.

[Upthevibe]

23. I have a question thats

Probably already been discussed but when I'm working I'm out of the loop sometimes....

If they rule that dt has immunity, does that all presidents would have immunity?

[struggle4progress]

28. When partisan hacks control the courts, legal conundrums are easy to solve:

just ask "What would the partisan hacks do?"

[OMGWTF]

24. Let SCOTUS know how you feel about them these days:

[Blue Owl]

27. The Supreme Court is a clear and present danger to democracy

[Warpy]

29. Only since Nixon have Republican appointees been so massively corrupt

and so gleefully willing to rule on cases they should immediately have shied away from, "recusal" not in their vocabularies.

I think the IRS needs to get involved, you know those assholes Thomas and Alito have not reported their luxury junkets on their income taxes. The IRS has been very good at making cases against the powerful when no one else could make anything stick.

My solution, of course, involves molasses, feathers, and a ride on a rail, preferably with being dropped into the Potomac as its terminus. Oh, and impeachment. Get them off the court.

[oldinmtdem92]

30. could not agree more

full on corrupt

[GoreWon2000]

31. Bush vs Gore is alive and well in 2024

Once again the extremist GOP SCOTUS majority exercises the power it stole from we the people for itself in 2000 to install another anti-democracy, GOP extremist in the White House.
