When I say the Supreme Court went beyond law, I don’t mean that I disagree with their interpretation of any legal text. I mean their immunity grant isn’t based in any. The Constitution does not address it either way. They invented new powers from nothing.

SCOTUS says it's okay to bribe officials as long as you pay after you receive the thing you paid for

The final SCOTUS decision today is Snyder v. US. Kavanaugh has the court's 6-3 decision on ideological grounds, holding that the Section 666 bribery statute does not apply to "gratuities" given for public officials' *past* acts. Jackson writes the liberals' dissent.

The fact that a second Trump administration is even a POSSIBILITY is such a tremendous failure on the part of every segment of our political elites. He could have been impeached, convicted, and permanently excluded on the very day. He could have been arrested the second he left office. Etc., etc.

A serious attempt by legislators or a candidate to invalidate a plainly valid election to install someone who plainly lost the election as president is not a "legal hack" or "finalizing results". It is treason. It is a treason against the United States and its citizens. We shouldn't dance around it.

Median CEO pay at major corporations jumped 13% last year. Much of the increase was due to stock performance. Just so happens that in 2023 corporations spent ~$800 BILLION on stock buybacks, which artificially pump up share prices. Translation: CEOs are goosing their own pay.

This what they doing now. Alternate paths to legal segregation tied to economic segregation which is itself the fruit of white supremacy.

This one really has me fucked up ya'll. A child is dead because this asshole ordained himself a hero and thought his gun gave him heightened power to issue orders. How badly did America fuck up to live in a reality where dead children are an acceptable cost of letting lunatics keep deadly weapons?

Some dude in a Seattle suburb saw three teens about to commit an armed robbery so he stepped in to stop them. Only problem was, they weren't armed and weren't planning a robbery. They were returning a BB gun to Big 5. www.fox13seattle.com/news/teen-sh...

It’s long past time for there to be a comprehensive criminal investigation, and congressional investigation, of Justice Thomas and his finances and his taxes.

Speaker Johnson is adding Scott Perry to the House Intel Committee. Perry sought a pardon for his key role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. People who try to overthrow the U.S gov't don't belong in the House, let alone on the Intel Committee.

A central Trump argument for why the 2020 election was "rigged" was that people voted (during a pandemic) in non-traditional ways. Now, its all ok. All those approaches are good options if they enable Trump to win.

I love @repraskin’s piece. The point - as I’ve been saying for some time - is that recusal is not abt letters & mtgs w/members of Congress. It is a tool available to PARTIES in litigation & is part of a litigant’s due process rights. In the immunity case the party is the UNITED STATES (you & me).
