SCOTUS has ruled that presidents are essentially monarchs who can commit crimes, bribery is legal, federal regulatory agencies have no authority to keep us safe, and homeless people can be punished for being homeless.
Is it any wonder why public approval of this court is so low?
@rbreich America, despite still having the wherewithal to attract the best and brightest brains of the world, has oft-late been described as merely a #plutocracy instead of a #democracy, the latter is now a distant has-been?
Imho, the increasingly existential question is: what will (and can) the conscientious citizens of #America do about that?
@rbreich King Biden could now send #Trump to Guantanamo and replace SCOTUS and the new SCOTUS could withdraw the decision of yesterday. Would be legal, right?
@rbreich
That's only half the truth.
SCOTUS has ruled that THEY decide when the president can commit crimes. That THEY decide when federal agencies have authority.
This is a coup. The US is shedding the last semblance of a democracy. From now on, SCOTUS is the functional dictatorship of the oligarchs.
@rbreich With the Chevron decision it seems the SCOTUS has also ruled they don't need to listen to anyone when making their decisions. A new precedent: Periti hic erimus
Why do you Americans use the term monarch or king? Norway is a constitutional monarchy, like other Scandinavian monarchies, and I fail to see a connection between Trump and King Harald.
@rbreich We need someone who doesn't have the type of bad days that only get more frequent, who is willing to address the problem. We've known these decisions were coming for years to decades, and yet there's no plan.
@rbreich SCOTUS is following thru on direct and implied threats made by the president who created it and liberals can't stop talking about poll numbers
