It seems like the Supreme court has declared war on the American people. So many bad, politically partisan decisions.
We can do something about it. Vote blue on the entire ticket. Put people in place that will uphold our constitution and will support an enforceable code of erhics and reforms to the court that will re-balance the court to a status of non-partisan, non-grifting defenders of constitutional law.
Clearly if the blue ticket wins in November, first thing the increased majority in Senate & control of the House will enable the extension of the Court from 9 to 13 (to reflect the appeal circuits) & pass appropriate legislation to repeal Citizens United, enshrine autonomy of women’s bodies etc etc
Yeah, but the first step to getting something overruled is usually passing a law that intentionally breaks the ruling, at least that's how all of them seem to be doing it lately, so they're right to that effect, though I don't see either party agreeing to pass anything counter to billionaire money now that they're profiting from it
What the HELL are the three competent, not political hack justices doing? Staying silent on such flagrant political hacktivism is implicit agreement. They need to be speaking out VERY STRONGLY or this will continue to escalate. The unqualified political hacks that make up the despicable majority of the Robert's Kangaroo court need to be regularly and publicly SHAMED as the paid-for corrupt scumwads they are.
"Being nice" is unacceptable when the other side continues to ignore the law and even their own previous actions.
Are these various Student Loan modifications/ forgiveness proposals issued by DoEd or via Executive Orders? Not quite clear on who the originating party is.
So Joe Biden himself hasn't issued any EO regarding loan forgiveness, even though it was kicked around earlier in his administration, is this correct? And if he could, do you reckon it would suffer the same fate as the DoEd attempts?
I think this is premised on a misunderstanding here, judging from your "Joe Biden himself," suggesting the Education Department doing something is a half-measure or something. In most instances, wherever possible, you would prefer agency action — based upon congressionally granted authority to act. (To that end, many items that people refer to as "EOs" are actually presidential memoranda or directives to agencies.)
Without it, you would have to be basing action on some inherent executive authority. Which, good luck.
I don’t know what to say about the Supreme Court anymore, when even the “good” justices are complacent. The Court’s integrity has been destroyed, and, like Trump’s incessant lying, that’s not only not treated as a crisis, it’s just, you know, normal.
The ripple effects from Biden v. Nebraska will be interesting to watch as the Court's use of Major Questions Doctrine, and the brushing aside of serious questions of standing in that case now come to bear in the current litigation.
How can the court's try to articulate a Major Questions judgment about a revision of an established program that has been revised in the past without protest? Once again the nebulous concept of what is and what is not a Major Question shines through as a political and not a legal determination.
The standing question in the current litigation is even more absurd than in the Nebraska case. Ignoring standing questions just provides further motivation for Red States and other outside parties to challenge any and all Executive Branch actions.
The thing of it is, that they can ignore legal reasoning, precedent, stare decisis, and basic humanity to do whatever their little coal black “Christian” hearts desire. They aren’t bound by anything - legal, moral, or ethical, and they get away with it time after time… AND THE PEOPLE CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
This is beyond time to have a filibuster proof senate and sadly but much needed impeachment of at least Thomas for his ethically grifting history followed closely by Alito and then as others have suggested expanding the court to the number of circuits. The expanded senate would also be able to repeal Citizen’s United as well as Dobbs and put a stake in the heart of the Comstock Act.

Sadly, I totally agree with you. I wonder if we're living in an alternate universe.
Just on Democrats. We are heading for a constitutional train wreck.

If only Citizens United were something that could be repealed.
Roe v Wade was …
Well, it was overruled by SCOTUS. Statutes get repealed by Congress.
We should live so long in good health to see a Court that will overrule Dobbs.

Saving hypocrisy is the political order of the day.

Sad.
No doomsday people. We're
not going back! We're not
taking one step back! Blue up
and down ballot! Take it all.
Sen. Schumer's already
talking about carve outs on
that filibuster so we can get
stuff done. Big priority is
SCOTUS reform, ethics,
increasing the bench and
retiring a couple of old
corrupt hangers-on. Trans
rights! LGTB+ and more.
Let's roll it!

I covered it previously here — https://www.lawdork.com/i/147559088/whats-going-on — but it's the Education Department.
So Joe Biden himself hasn't issued any EO regarding loan forgiveness, even though it was kicked around earlier in his administration, is this correct? And if he could, do you reckon it would suffer the same fate as the DoEd attempts?

The lying SCROTUS justices who were nominated by a criminally insane POTUS need to resign for their own safety

This odd not jurisprudence - this is complete arrogance.
I just can’t believe that they get away with this political bullshit. Out of control, unaccountable, grifting, corrupt and corrupted SCROTUS
These are garbage people.
You seem to have a duplicated section on the Tenth Circuit
Oh, yes. I moved that section up and forgot to delete it! Thanks!
Figured that was the case in either direction.
