Only in LA, MS, and TX to go with the ruling
Consequences!
The single fact that Thomas is hearing the Jan 6 case, given his wife, is enough to tell you the entire US legal system is a top to bottom corrupt fraud that should not be taken seriously by anyone.

Roberts should be publicly shaming the guy.
If SCOTUS is ok with January 6, I assume theyâre okay with people doing the same to the court every time they make a bad ruling.
Not saying I am advocating such action or that I would participate, but I wouldnât be surprised if someone got the bright idea to take a dump in one of the drawers of the desk of Clarence Thomas.
Roberts is 100% in on the MAGA coup. He just has to look 1% more sane to give the court a sheen of objectivity so all the pundits can shout about how great the court is every time they donât do the absolute worst thing.

I opened this and it came up with the scroll so I could not see who posted it.
Confirming my assumption as to it was made my day a little this morning.
The entire legal system?
Which part would you like to defend as just?
Roberts is strategic. He tries to steer the court away from stuff that will energize democratic voters.

There are plenty of just decisions issued every day throughout the entire system across the country. Writing off the entire legal system because of a handful of unjust decisions are made is dumb, especially considering these decisions are more of a reflection of our societyâs values than of some inherent flaw in the entire legal system. Maybe you want to argue that the flaw is itâs made up of people?

The legal system is set up to protect rich people and pound poor people and minorities.
Again if anyone hasnât listened to serial season 3 check it out.

This could go here or in the abortion thread.
SCOTUS is hearing arguments for an Idaho law that challenges the idea that EMTALA (the federal law requiring doctors to treat or stabilize any patient who shows up in the emergency room) necessarily covers abortions in cases where the motherâs life or health are at risk.
Idahoâs lawyer casually suggesting that maybe fetuses have the same status (and constitutional rights as citizens). Very cool. Very easy to see a nationwide ban on abortions if SCOTUS accepts that view.

Edit: Hereâs a NYT opinion piece from last month that saw this coming:
This is a good thread:

This one is good, too:

And this is gross:
Turner [arguing on behalf of Idaho], replying to Sotomayor: YES, Idaho law does say abortions are not allowed if a woman would just lose an organ but not be at risk of death.

What happens if SCOTUS rules tomorrow that the president does have full immunity for official acts, but not unofficial? Does another hearing get set to decide on whatâs official and unofficial? Or can the case proceed just on whatâs considered non official acts?
I doubt the second answer can be correct because of course theyâre going to claim everything was acting in his official capacity even tho some of it was clearly campaign
He already has immunity for official acts, at least while in office. Pretty sure you canât take the president to court over an official act. I donât think Trumpâs rally on the 6th counts as an official act though.
