    1. One of the biggest issues I have with the law is that rulings can be re-interpreted. What’s the use in precedence in something that has been ruled, tried again multiple times, then suddenly flipped because a new judge reads the wording in a different way?

      I get that times change, and sometimes rules need to change with them. But when the timing of these changes seems to coincide to a certain group of people’s benefit when the rule was absolutely fine just a short while ago as it was written for the benefit of the majority of the population, then yeah there’s a serious misstep in the legal process that needs to be fixed.

    2. Love the use of “Calvinball”. It’s a perfect description of what the right side of the Court is doing.

      She’s not quite right. In Calvinball, everyone playing gets to make up rules. Current SCOTUS only one side does, while the other has to follow the rule of law.

      Justice Roberts owns a couple homes in Maine, as does Leonard Leo. Before Roberts heads back to DC Mainers are organizing another protest on land and water near Roberts’ home — reportedly he is being ostracized a bit by more neighbors and locals.

      Calvinball, or making shit up on the fly, is pretty much the hallmark of all aspects of Trump and his allies. Basically reflective of the policy of power for its own sake.

      100%. Of course, it’s more or less a Supreme Court tradition to put their thumb on the scales of justice to favor the rich and powerful. Post-war civil rights were anomalous, historically.

    7. The fact that this is posed as a question instead of just reporting the statement tells you all you need to know on media bias.

      Last three words of the title are unnecessary editorialization and wouldn’t be there if the accusation were coming from the trumpists.

      Yes considering they are ignoring precedent and making rulings they claimed under oath they with not do.

      Perfect headline from the so-called „liberal“ news outlet which features a lineup of 50% talking heads who are former Republicans.

      Is this the onion asking this very stupid question? Does anyone else think it’s sad and predictable that there is almost no question how cases are going to be decided anymore. If they do actually manage to come up with any reasoning behind the decision beyond because we said so, it uses15th century law from another country that has no bearing on whatever the fuck ever is being decided? Nothing matters anymore because the whole thing is rotten from top to bottom and all Ketanji Brown Jackson can do is watch with the rest of us as the so called conservatives sellout democracy.

      True or not, the right believe we are in some sort of high stakes end game. So they have disregarded caring about the means.

    13. Yes we all know but half of America is acting stupid so they can have their white christo-fascist wet dreams realized while another portion is too afraid to call them out in fear of seeming impartial against literal actual fascists.

      Headlines and articles like this is why NBC is selling this network off.

      I understand why the founders sequestered them, it was a time where they assumed they could keep SCOTUS unbiased but I’m am loving her speaking up. I think it’s high time the press should be allowed to ask questions.

      Journalists are an absolute joke. For any journalists in this thread, just remember how appeasement worked out in the past.

    17. 100%. The major issues doctrine is completely made up and conveniently requires democratic presidents to run things through Republican but has been absent since Trump took over and started breaking the law

    18. Former-Lab-9451 on

      With Trump, their rulings basically state that the president can do whatever he wants but that Congress can choose to stop him if they have the votes.

      With a Democratic Administration, their rulings are the opposite. The law needs to explicitly state that they have the power to do something (major questions doctrine argument such was their ruling in West Virginia vs EPA)

      And if it does explicitly state they have the power, such as the Heroes act allowing the secretary of education to waive or modify student aid during a national emergency, the conservatives on the court decide that congress didn’t really mean they could waive or modify, certainly they must have intended to place specific limits despite the law not stating that.
