    - I thought Weasley was our King? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 27, 07:59 1
      - I mean, we could debate whom the King is, but only one side of the aisle actually has one. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 08:22
    - as a non-american I have to say it is Astounding ("shocked but not surprised!") how Obviously Corrupt SCOTUS is. -- nm - mud Jun 27, 07:53 5
      - They want this fascist usa as much as anyone. More so even. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 07:57 2

        anyone as in the forces that have been driving us there the last three plus years now. -- (edited) - Jovian Jun 27, 08:11
      - Once upon a time, people acted like they were serving something bigger than themselves. - LFG Jun 27, 07:56 1
        
        nice -- nm - mud Jun 27, 07:57
4 banger today: Purdue/Sacklers lose, SEC (and most other agencies) loses, EPA loses (Good Neighbor plan stayed), EMTALA wins (as was leaked) -- nm - decline Jun 27, 07:26
the Roberts okey doke: also drops the opinion rejecting EPA's authority to regulate interstate pollution -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 07:24 25
- sorry dawson: 6-3 ruling that targets of SEC enforcement actions are entitled to federal jury trial -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 07:26 24
  - It seems maybe dragging SEC violators through a public trial isn’t maybe in their best interests? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 27, 07:28 23
    - "Congress would have to give a bunch of federal agencies VASTLY more money and personnel to handle all the jury trials they would need to conduct - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 07:29 22
      - now is the time to run those crypto scams and Ponzi schemes 'cause the SEC ain't got the dough to take everyone to trial -- nm - decline Jun 27, 07:39
      - Sotomayor: "Congress had no reason to anticipate the chaos today's majority would unleash after all these years." -- nm - decline Jun 27, 07:31 20
        
        the best thing Sonya (and Elena tbh) could do for the Court and Joe Biden is announce their retirements next week. give him two new appointments in - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 07:41 18
        
        Are Soto and Elana not voting the way Biden could guarantee with new justices? -- nm - Max Jun 27, 08:48 3
        
        they're just older. the last thing we need is a trump presidency with older judges. biden should appoint children to the court - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:53 2
        
        That's true. Weird time compression I guess has kept them in early 60s in my mind for the past decade. - Max Jun 27, 09:09 1
        
        Also, I've been hearing Breyer on the radio more recently, frustratingly forming some opinions but dodging 'how should they vote' questions - Max Jun 27, 09:16
        
        I agree with this, given below. I don't know why they stay on the damn bench so long. if you care about deomcracy, retire. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:02 1
        
        and, best case scenario, you just keep writing these 6-3 dissents into the void until they take you out feet first - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 08:06
        
        The best thing would be for Thomas and Alito to die in a plane crash next week. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 07:54 3
        
        Classy. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 27, 08:01 2
        
        yes we would all shed so many tears. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 08:07 1
        
        Their deaths, while tragic, probably saved lives. nm - Turd Ferguson Jun 27, 08:08
        
        but wouldn't the Rs just kibosh any noms? like they did under barry o? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 07:51 7
        
        awww poor Barry O, while the GOP took all the gloves off, he went ahead and put on several more pairs. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 07:56
        
        They can't. Dems control the Senate so can process a vote and the SCOTUS filibuster doesn't work anymore -- nm - decline Jun 27, 07:55 3
        
        would anyone flip? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 07:59 2
        
        you might lose Manchin but Collins/Murkowski generally make up for that (SCOTUS confirmations are more individualized to the nominee) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 08:00 1
        
        Manchin's played ball on just about every nomination for judges. If it's a qualified nominee, he'd support. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 08:03
        
        Isn't the filibuster for SCOTUS noms dead? -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 07:54 1
        
        yes -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 07:55
        
        Wait until they get rid of Chevron tomorrow. -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 07:36
Wow -- you know it had to be bad if this court held it wasn't valid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 07:18
Sackler family: What if we were to “tip” you? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 27, 07:15
