I don’t know what to do but find small ways to fight back. We have to be like Ukraine, except with the understanding there’s no help coming from outside and we probably won’t be around to see the tide turn. Barring miracles, the future is bleak.

Not SCOTUS, but excellent trolling by Trump-appointee Kenneth Lee:
Judge Kenneth K. Lee concurred, writing, “We cannot allow good intentions to trump an enumerated and ‘fundamental right’ deeply rooted in the history and tradition of this country.”
Time for Cali to say “nah, we good” and keep those sales illegal.
hummmmm… our extremists are not imported from another religion and are very very very verrrrrrryy Christian
Do they break down how many Rs disapprove because SCOTUS isn’t psycho enough?

Thanks. This right here is some scary shit. Religious views very important and still only 51%. What more do they want exactly?
Man it’s just so nice being a Republican knowing your consolation prize/worst case scenario is competent status quo government. They’re still in a nonstop seething rage about it. But still. Our consolation prize is fundamentalist theocracy masquerading as democracy.

He probably wants to overturn Loving v. Virginia so he can get out of his own marriage without divorcing.

Kind of bitchy for supposedly just calling balls and strikes
Justice Thomas said the left had adopted tactics that conservatives would not employ.
“You would never visit Supreme Court justices’ houses when things didn’t go our way,” he said. “We didn’t throw temper tantrums. It is incumbent on us to always act appropriately, and not to repay tit for tat.”
He added that conservatives had “never trashed a Supreme Court nominee.” He acknowledged that Merrick B. Garland, President Barack Obama’s third Supreme Court nominee, “did not get a hearing, but he was not trashed.”
“You will not see the utter destruction of a single nominee,” Justice Thomas said. “You will also not see people going to other people’s houses, attacking them at dinner at a restaurant, throwing things on them.”
He said Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh had been subjected to particular abuse, but he referred only glancingly to his own brutal confirmation hearings, during which he angrily denied accusations of sexual harassment.
Taking sides on a contested point, Justice Thomas said the Senate Republicans who blockaded Mr. Garland’s nomination were following a rule that President Biden, then a senator, had proposed, “which is you get no hearing in the last year of an administration.”
So we have completely ignoring any kind of right wing activism towards judges including assassination attempts and quite obviously picking sides and then nodding approvingly towards blockading Garland with the little spiteful twist of mentioning that, in reality, it was Biden who really suggested that Supreme Court judges shouldn’t get a hearing. Something you’d hear a hack on the right wing nightly news make up

And the rule no longer applied to Barrett obviously.

Surely a criminal referral to the DOJ is forthcoming and Garland will hold him responsible.
