They don’t even feel the need to explain themselves either. We truly need a revolution, French style, to fix this situation. It won’t happen until the grocery stores are empty

Or until the porn gets shut off.
The amount of Republicans that would go on killing spree because they don't have their porn would be insane. Better they can't eat than denying them hypocrisy.
Especially the repressed, projecting Republicans that need their porn to get off on their LGBT stuff
Given there were no dissents, its likely above board.
All of the court ascribes to "We don't want to look political despite being very political", and this is a cheap win in that area for them. 'Above board' is a strong term.
There were no noted descents. This wasn't a ruling. We don't have 9 voices. It means that less than 4 justices wanted to take the case. It's rare any desents in this type of decision would be public.
Fortunately the Colorado Supreme Court gave the SCOTUS a deadline of Jan 5 to rule or STFU. This will go a long way towards determining whether we continue to have somewhat of a democratic-ish country or we run full steam into fascism.
I don’t think that’s how they worded it. The stay holds if the Supreme Court picks it up. That means that all they have to do is not rule on it and he still gets put on the ballot because of the stay.
And it also ruled that this “stay shall remain in place” if Trump or another litigant seeks US Supreme Court review of this case prior to January 4.
I'm reading this as Biden should just start locking the traitors up, due process be damned. Firing squads on fifth avenue. If a president can't be tried while they're sitting, and they can't be tried after they leave, none of it matters and I see no problems here. That sound right, SCOTUS?
The rightwingnuts already accuse him of similar crimes.
This is why I never feel bad about taking government aid to which I am entitled.
After all, republicans already say I, and those like me, are taking it (despite the fact that red states receive far far far more aid than blue), so I might as well just use it and actually benefit from the programs, since the negative perception exists whether I do or not.
Maybe this is the same…🤔🧐
The court’s decision is a major blow to Smith, who made an extraordinary gamble when he asked the justices to take the rare step of skipping a federal appeals court and quickly deciding a fundamental issue in his election subversion criminal case against Trump.
It doesn't sound like this is a surprise.
a major victory for Trump, whose strategy of delay in the criminal case included mounting a protracted fight over the immunity question
Yes, but it also means that Trump successfully used his bad-faith delay tactics.
SCROTUS.
A rapist, a sect member and a sexual harasser deciding if another rapist can be a judge. What could go wrong?
Of fucking course.
