      Justice Clarence Thomas dissented to the court’s order that black people are real people.

      Like, it’s a fucked up headline, but I bet for a second you were like “wait a minute, is that real?” Which is both funny and sad at the same time concerning both Thomas and the times we live in. lol

          and yet somehow, while not being a person, he will retain all his wealth and not owe her a thing because it was never a valid marriage.

        Clean house. Fully expose Trump and literally retcon everything he did, and seize his assets to fund it. All of Trump’s nominees and appointments are illegitimate. Full stop.

          Sadly, probably not the ones from his first term. Whether or not his second term election was actually legitimate and the machines were not fucked with is certainly more questionable. Plus there is a 14th argument that Trump should not be qualified to serve as president after the January 6th coup attempt.

          Anyway, Alito and Thomas were appointed by George W. to begin with. Part of this shitshow is also down to Obama failing to successfully appoint someone to replace Antonin Scalia under the objections of Mitch fucking McConnell.

            The other part is the fact that Ruth Bader Ginsberg refused to step down when asked. When Obama started his second term, he asked RBG to step down, so he could appoint a new justice going into his second term. She refused, knowing that Hillary Clinton was going to run for president after Obama. RBG wanted to be able to say that she served with the first woman president. So she refused to step down, and Obama didn’t get to replace her when he had ample time to do so.

            Instead, Hillary was about as charismatic as a can of spinach, Trump got elected, RBG kicked it, and we got fucking Amy “A Handmaid’s Tale was an instruction booklet” Barrett as a replacement.

        Stop taking away agency from shithead fascists

        Or… Start?

        Either way, this idea that every conservative is just a puppet for the real evil is nonsense and weird, there can be more than one trash person.

      I’m bummed that they’ll probably be replaced with younger justices by Trump this term, but at least it will be hard to find anyone worse.
