7-2 ruling
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented to the court’s order.
Of fucking course.
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
Look he cant divorce his wife for weird fundamintalist reasons but if it gets annulled because he isnt a real person then hey not his fault.
You can’t be a shitheel traitor if you don’t engage in some shitheeling treachery, right?
Thomas is a proxy vote for his wife Ginni.
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.
If democrats don’t clean house or stack the court when they retake th4 government Alito and Thomas will hold the door open for nazis and oligarchs
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.
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.
Fucking great, now that you’ve jinxed it, Andrew Tate is going to get a seat.
Don’t jinx it!
Thomas’s dissent stated he didn’t get anything lavish to go along with the ruling. Also, he didn’t get to show porn to anyone involved so he took his ball and went home.
are those corrupt crooked fucks starting to realize trump will eliminate the judicial branch altogether and absorb it into the dictator branch the instant he’s able?
Our only hope for saving American democracy is that there are still other Republicans that can think of nothing worse than losing an ounce of power to someone else.
inherent in any rigidly hierarchical pecking order power structure like conservatism-- they all secretly despise each other, even while swallowing each others’ loads
the opposite problem means the dems get nothing done-- no shyness whatsoever about calling each other out over even petty bullshit differences
SCOTUS? THAT will Stop Trump!
Yup, Trump’s attorney straight up said they don’t have to obey court orders 3 times
Again, again!?
