Clarence Thomas: „Harlan, how should I respond to this?“
Well, of course they’re trying to undermine democracy. These people are Confederates. They are trying to establish a hereditary aristocracy.
Conservative majority: „Nuh uh, we got 6 votes, you got 3, we love democracy!“
Is anyone actually surprised by this? They all but said it directly with Project 2025 and everyone is going full shocked Pikachu that they are actually doing it. They have been playing the long game and their goal since the start has been to install a dictator who will implement the Christian Nationalist agenda.
„Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.“
– Barry Goldwater in 1981
The Republican party and thier donors are traitors to the United States of America
So she described that the predicted consequences of the MAGA justices‘ anti democratic views have come to pass. Yeah we need to do something about that.
No shit. They’ve been doing it for years.
Uh, no shit?
That’s some pretty historically significant commentary I would think. Has any Justice ever claimed this before?
Well, yeah, that’s been happening for a while now
not exactly a shocking diagnosis from the person watching it happen firsthand
Well, they haven’t tried to hide it, have they?
they are and they will.
And she is not wrong
So much for trying to stay friends with the conservatives. How did that work out for ya?
Accuses? L M F A O
8 years late. On brand with the speed of the Supreme Court
> I do think in all these areas the court has blinded itself
No, Kagan – it’s intentional. Wake the fuck up.
>“I do think in all these areas the court has blinded itself to the very deleterious effects of their rulings on how the political system works and has created a democracy that doesn’t work as well as it should,” she added.
I am so sick of people acting as if these Republicans are naive.
You let them off the hook morally every time you pretend they are dumb rather than malicious
Heritage and Federalist Society need to dismantled, or ship them to Russia. I’m fine with either.
It’s about time. They need to call it out. They’ve all taken an oath to the constitution and those who violate it, need to be held accountable.
Well .. duh!!!
That’s because the conservative majority are republican and they have no moral compass. They talk about having one a lot, but it doesn’t really exist.
That’s the plan.
Really?
As if the whole „the president can do whatever he wants while in office and not be held accountable“ bit wasn’t a massive, giant red flag.
