The Shadow Docket Sunlight Act is being introduced on Wednesday. And, Justice Kavanaugh still isn't saying if he's having second thoughts on his September opinion.
Kavanaugh really screwed the pooch with his opinion in *Perdomo*, he knows he bollixed it, and he knows that the DHS masked hoodlums took that opinion and are abusing the fuck out of it. Now what's he going to do about it? When will the case reach Scotus on the merits?
If Kavanaugh is who I think he is, he's indignant at the notion that anyone would attempt to hold him accountable for anything he's said or done. The man reeks of privilege.
If (not holding my breath) this bill makes it thru congress, how would it change how SCOTUS has been ruling? It does not appear that the majority has much respect for legal precedent when weighed against conservative goals. Will some measure of transparency make them think twice before issuing dubious rulings? I don't think they care. At all. They need a code of ethics with teeth that can be enforced, preferably by an independent panel of legal/constitutional scholars/professionals. Again, not holding my breath.
It will not happen under the current Congress, and it probably won’t happen under the next Congress because they won’t have a veto proof majority but if we can flip Congress and the White House in 2026 in 2028, this legislation will most certainly pass. But, then, of course, the matter will be litigated by the right with the specious claim that Congress is overstepping its constitutional authority. The result? The constitutionality of the legislation will no doubt come before the 6 seditionist jurors for a Shadow docket decision😵💫

Only wish they could make it retroactive so that the six seditionists on the Court would be
obligated to explain themselves to the American electorate.
'Although the bill will almost certainly not be passing this Congress, it is important for members of Congress to be showing what they can — or could — do to confront an increasingly out-of-control Supreme Court.'
Do you suppose that the purpose of all these removal of stays is so they can allow Trump to do what he wants, but that by the time they are fully adjudicated, a Democrate president will be in power to receive the news that he/she can NOT do these things?
** There are far more important existential matters before us and obvious for 'we the people' to deal with. I posted this at HCR's letters. I recommended sharing this 'widely' as possible.
** A matter of the utmost importance is upon us all. Whether or not you caught it, the creature occupying our office of the presidency flippantly revealed "I have an alcoholic brain." That notwithstanding, what's actually revealed is several far more complex psycopathies at work, deserving immediate Art. 2 and 25th amendment consideration ! I would be very interested in Mary Trump's views on all this, as well other independent mental health professionals - asap ! ** Perhaps the biggest and unspoken reveal is that he (it) has the most resentment filled, hateful fool for a patient !
I still do not understand why we need an ethics code for the Supremes. All but Elena Kagan have been judges in the federal system for many years before being "promoted" to a higher level job in the judiciary. They all (including Kagan) swore oaths in their prior capacity so why are those terms not still in force and applicable to them as Justices??
The drunken Frat Boy either has no idea how these stops actually go down in the streets, or more likely, doesn't give a shit. At some time in the future, Americans will come to the realization that SCOTUS has no way to enforce its rulings, if the People decide they've had enough. I hope that time is soon.

I’m sure he celebrates each and every one of those stops by having a few drinks and “boofing”
Ask godlings to explain themselves? When they are rubber stamping the God in Chief? Heresy. Not the way a Christian Nation works 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
How have I not ever heard the term 'godling' before
And it’s obvious that if they don’t look like (fishbelly white) you, they don’t deserve equal treatment under the law.
It's a shame it has come to this and kudos to Chris for getting a scoop on the Act. The sponsors are an all-star line up.
Yes. This right here.

First of all let’s celebrate Justice Kavanaugh and his deep respect for fellow Justice Sotomayor by placing a potential target on her back.

People are not being allowed to get documents that may be in lockers at their workplace.
Why are bounties being paid?
The only thing we really know about Kavanaugh that is truthful is that he “likes beer”.
Damn Roberts and Kavanaugh.
