#the supreme court is corrupt

[sordidamok]

Originalists have always been selective in their reading of the Constitution. The Court should be expanded. Justices should be elected and should serve limited terms.

Justices should be elected. Terms should be limited. Corruption should be investigated.

A corrupt SCOTUS deciding if the worst POTUS ever has immunity. What a crock of shit.

Vote Blue and get rid of everything Trump.

Our conservative Supreme Court upholding white corporate oligarchy.

Vote while you still have the chance.

For everyone dooming over the SCOTUS decision, know this: It isn’t over. We just cannot depend on the judicial system to save us.

We have to fucking vote; we have to tell the fucking conservative hacks that handed down the decision that their plan to turn the US into a Christofascist shithole where anyone non-white, non-male, and non-straight is sent to the gas chamber WILL NOT come to pass.

Vote for Biden, no matter what, to tell the fucking Court that they will NOT take the country and our futures away from us.

Accepting a bride should not be considered bribery.

The plaintiff in Snyder v United States is claiming that when a public official accepts a “gift” from a person or corporation who has benefited from that public official’s actions, that should not be legally considered a bribe

This is an illegitimate and deeply corrupt Supreme Court

Today is a sad day in American constitutional law and in the lives of LGBT people. The Supreme Court of the United States declares that a particular kind of business, though open to the public, has a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class. The Court does so for the first time in its history. By issuing this new license to discriminate in a case brought by a company that seeks to deny same-sex couples the full and equal enjoyment of its services, the immediate, symbolic effect of the decision is to mark gays and lesbians for second-class status. In this way, the decision itself inflicts a kind of stigmatic harm, on top of any harm caused by denials of service. The opinion of the Court is, quite literally, a notice that reads: "Some services may be denied to same-sex couples."

Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class. Specifically, the Court holds that the First Amendment exempts a website-design company from a state law that prohibits the company from denying wedding websites to same-sex couples if the company chooses to sell those websites to the public.

The Court also holds that the company has a right to post a notice that says, "No [wedding websites] will be sold if they will be used for gay marriages."

Our Constitution contains no right to refuse service to a disfavored group.

EXPAND THE COURT

[nodynasty4us]

From the December 21, 2023 opinion piece:

Lavish world cruises, secret deals with moneyed donors, threats to step down unless someone ponied up with a pay raise, fishing trips with parties who have business before the court, an amicus brief industrial complex wholly bought and paid for by billionaire donations, leaked drafts, and secret speeches are not the stuff of constitutional democracy, or infallibility, or finality. When the hyperpolitical supercharged Trump cases catch up with the court—and that is beginning to happen, right now, this week—all that stench will run headlong into the questions about why the husband of the woman who went to the pep rally for the insurrection and the folks who lied to us all about Dobbs are objective enough to decide the outcome of an election. The same people entrusted with the protecting the reputation of the court have blundered into being wholly responsible for protecting democracy. Not one thing suggests they will take the latter any more seriously than they took the former.

None of these needed changes will take place if the people don't get involved. Voting blue in 2024 is how we save democracy, then we fix what's wrong.

Roberts corrupt SCOTUS has made a mockery of our elections allowing mega corporations to purchase politicians, elections, manipulate voters with massive amounts of MONEY

It is apparent now more than ever what that money has bought, the SCOTUS that continues ruling in wealthy favor is owned by the wealthy.

America needs a complete overhaul of election laws, donations, accountability, gerrymandering, voter registrations

Citizens United MUST be repealed, Term Limits on GODS of SCOTUS, strict code of ethics, auto voting registration, strict donation limits at $100 per person per election (allows everyone to participate), public FOIA accountability on all donations

Zero political ads before 30 days before elections

The Supreme Court legalizes racial profiling and harassment in Texas. More red states likely to jump on board.

“The law immediately raised concerns among immigration advocates of increased racial profiling as well as detentions and attempted deportations by state authorities in Texas, where Latinos represent 40% of the population” That’s just great smh https://ow.ly/ET1H50QXlfz http://dlvr.it/T4MlhT
