What fantasy world do these arch conservatives live in? In Holder v. Shelby County, Texas was deemed mature enough to avoid preclearance. Justice Kavanaugh assured us that his stops would be quick and nearly imperceptible. Here, a president can fire nearly at will, without notice or justification, because he what? Is noble, honest, caring about his country … none of which Trump is—honoring an ideal kingship without reference to that prospective king. “Oh, don’t worry—Adolph loves German shepherds!”

Yes, it is a "a vastly more complex economy in a vastly more complex world". So, what about the SEC? I would argue that enforcing the integrity of offerings and financials in the market is just as complex as setting interest rates. What about the FDA? Biology is vastly more complex than setting interest rates. And nuclear engineering? What an incredibly naive view of the world.

That sentence expresses the core of what’s wrong with so called originalism. The country hadn’t been sealed in amber, everything is vastly more complicated and complex, and our interpretation of the Constitution must acknowledge that. .

Project 2025 coming to life in real-time. Consolidating power under the King and His Men. None of which give a shit about this country......and will rob us blind of money and democracy!

Voters were warned. Willful ignorance!

Without even reading the opinion, this court's self serving hypocrisy continues and seems to have no limits.

Can Congress rewrite the law ensuring independent agencies remain independent and put it out of Judicial review as SCOTUS claimed TPS is?

As a non-lawyer, it is simply my hope that Roberts, Alito and Thomas all get impeached for their financial corruption asap.

Sigh. He probably can’t even see it. Small minded corrupt fool.

It would seem that Roberts believes that he and his reactionary compatriots believe that they are the ones in control. Roberts with the immunity decision stated that the Supreme Court gets to decide what's an "offical presidential act and now they have the president can fire anyone he like as long as it doesn't impact their pocketbook. Precedent has no meaning for these radicals.

Another desecration from the usual case of characters. The MAGA SCOTUS which will live in infamy
