@ruthmarcus.bsky.social in the @newyorker.com: “The Justices, most of them, must now understand: we are not dealing with an Administration that deserves the benefit of the doubt. … The ensuing 1 a.m. order represented the Administration reaping the results of its own bad-faith arguments.”
Not flying anymore
Scotus is reaping the whirlwind
SCOTUS is a right wing Christian nationalist tool. Only hope is they are greedy enough to try and preserve their positions. They need to be removed and term limited retroactively
If you're doing such a craptastic job that people you personally appointed think you suck, then maybe you suck.
Dr Frankenstein also realized too late that he had made a mistake.
SCOTUS must reverse immunity decision
They can And they Should
Yes. I have no idea how they think it isn’t going to come back to personally bite them on the ass at some point.
It’s a Regime…. If they base their decisions on that fact, they would have to make different rulings.
SCOTUS finally understands that we're not living in normal times. youtu.be/S8MAC-_A0xw
This court created the monster, unleashed him on the globe, and are now having Susan Collins "hand wringing" and "brow furrowing" regrets?
They put themselves in this position when they granted him immunity.
They created a monster 🍊 now they have to deal with it
Another day. Another Ruling. Another day for Trump to ignore a Ruling. Yawn! SCOTUS is not going to stop him. Congress is not going to stop him. If he's going to be stopped, it will THE PEOPLE who stop him.
Otherwise known as FAFO. Too bad they did it with our democracy.
To late
We know Thomas & Alito are corrupt and compromised but the other conservative justices are realizing that THEIR reputations are on the line and they can either aid In America’s destruction or reel in the crazy man
But not two backsliding Fascists.
About damn time 🙄
Brad Bondi, Pam bondi's brother is running to lead DC bar association of over 120,000 lawyers, the guy that rolls in trump circle, that should alarm everyone. This administration is distracting everyone with nonsense while Trump captures more.
None of the over 120,000 lawyers should trust this guy. He states the DC bar association should be bipartisan, but c’mon, just look at who his sister is.
SC judge says pres has immunity pres tells them to go to hell SC upset o no shit howdis happen
too fucking late
I don’t know a thing about law. But I do know this was entirely predictable.
Since SCOTUS immunity opinion was based on exercising the "core powers' of the presidency, if SCOTUS deems Trump is acting outside the law, does he open himself to prosecution if & when he is no longer POTUS?
Please do not post articles with paywalls. Thanks.
Oh really? I'll believe it when it really happens.
Most of them, ugh. As Jon Stewart noted, if four in five dentists recommend sugarless gum, that means one in five think sugar is fine for your teeth.
Pay wall. Anyone have a gift link?
14 members of Congress now support impeachment. If yours is not one, or isn’t yelling loud enough for you to know, call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121 and ask why not. Or just go to their Congress website and email them every time you feel angry. It’s therapeutic! (Please repost)
the #MAGAMike House will NEVER EVER bring Articles on The #MAGAFelonKing.
Never say never. We the people gonna kick their Banana Republican asses!
ALL MAGAs Must Pay for this Ignorance in supporting and protecting a Toddler Felon King...
Who are they? 💙
citizensimpeachment.com search for “yes”. All dems currently.
Thank you!!!
Unless they are Rs, that isn’t happening.
"FUCK HIM UPP!! SUPREME COURT JUSTICES!!"/Don't become overtaken with greed, power and orange shrimp dick-tail./
They have lifetime appointments. He's supposed to vacate the premises in three and a half years. Or maybe Roberts finally grew a set.
I really wish that RBG had stepped down when @barackobama.bsky.social had asked her to.
Doubtful, he just didn't realize their usefulness is coming to an end with Trump. Now they want to do something. They were warned.
I predict he dismantles scotus, congress, and the whole legal system. That’s the plan. That’s dictatorship.
Lolol.z. The John Roberts Supreme Court understood exactly what they were doing when they slow walked the immunity decision, and then immunized trump from any prosecution; basically handing him the White House in 2024.
Alito and Thomas are totally down for authoritarianism. They've been disconnected from ordinary American reality for years. Thankfully, the other conservatives have perked up.
Based on their last ruling, I think 7 of them might have gotten the message.
We're applauding the justices for doing their job. That's what we're resorting to.
This really is all their fault. they were partisan and corrupt, in no way were their decisions judicious.
Bad faith describes this regime perfectly.
bsky.app/profile/leco...
Be-jay-zuz! At last..,
I pulled out of the market before it crashed because I took our stupid president at his word. Until people stop convincing themselves he won't...HE WILL!!! He is a vile, evil toad!!!
Might be too late. If they do not corral him, they too will become moot like most of Americans. Our voice is being silenced by the wealthy. My Grandmother (who survived the 1918 Spanish Flu) said A. Everyone went crazy after the flu. B. Then the rich destroyed us.
They are our only hope now. I really, really hope they think about how they will go down in history as either the heroes who helped save our democracy or ones who obeyed a lunatic to destroy it.
I laugh every time I see those emotes together now 🤣
And yet, what have they actually reaped? All I see is rulings being ignored.
About bloody time.
After giving him immunity...🙄
We’ll see, not holding my breath
We’ll see.
It's all just words unless it is backed by the armed force of government. Trump ignores the courts constantly and nobody does a damn thing about it but maybe wag a finger in disappointment.
I'll believe it when the SC earns it back. Repeatedly.
Why are the Democrats not running an ad every day comparing month to month comparison when we had an American president and split House and Senate. Stress it's all the moron trump and his imbecilic majorities in house and Senate. Stress the difference at each and every chance.
The Supreme Court gave _rump immunity for only those acts specifically called out as official duties of te office in the constitution. That does not cover usurping the powers given to the other branches of government or breaking the law by attacking non-governmental entities. It is time to stop this
Thank you, Mr Conway.
The stock market lost $1.4 trillion in value today. Another day in Trump’s America.
Absolutely. Give McFelon an inch and he'll seize a mile. He and his little band of goons aren't the least bit trustworthy. Lying, scheming, underhanded slime balls the lot of them.
bsky.app/profile/redh...
They'd better. An absolute dictator has no need of a Supreme Court.
No.
See they will keep him in line.
First time you don't go home for Christmas is the toughest; easy after that.
George, they want this. I know you likely disagree with me, however, taking the immunity case last year they knew exactly what they were doing and their handlers and owners have wanted this for decades. Now here we are.
It's too bad they defanged their bite. Even if they have a coming to Jesus moment, they can't enforce anything. Trump is rogue. Also, rouge.
Yep, shouldn't have made "official" acts immune to prosecution.
Plump says we don't have time to give immigrants hearings. Well, if it's inconvenient for you, let's just do away with all laws you don't like. You don't ignore the laws of this country because they are inconvenient. Can we impeach this guy already?
I heard Howard Is doing same. Cannot wait to see Habba face off Howard lawyers.
Will their toughness last? Ummm….no.
Do you think that the justices will jail the felon? It’s way past time imho
Which felon...there are so many from which to choose.
Oh, George. Pretty sure the Justices know exactly who they are dealing with. Please.
I think we can assume the only thing the “conservative” justices care about now is keeping their cushy positions and keeping the unreported, likely untaxed, and certainly illegal bakshish arriving at their doors. W/Trump surfacing thru his mouthpieces the notion of locking up American citizens and
Disappearing them into slave labor camps in El Salvador, including judges who get in his way, even the right wing creeps on the bench must be feeling the imaginary breeze of the cleaver, aimed at their necks too. No one is safe, including them.
….. but for how long though!
FAFO: #theSupremeCourtEdition
Has anyone recounted every votes from the last election?
Some of them
Unless there a real world consequences the court is only a paper tiger. This is a good test to see if they have the mettle to put some power behind their words.
And yet they gave him near absolute immunity in a case where he was accused and indicted by a grand jury for trying to overthrow a free and fair election. But they didn't understand then how bad he was? Gmafb. 6 absolute, dyed in the wool political hacks on SCOTUS
And Alito, attempting to slow walk his dissenting opinion so the men would be on a plane to El Salvador before the other seven justices could render their opinions & stop it. Nasty work. Nasty work. He & Uncle Clarence are America’s shame.
Oh lord George you think the Justices should have known that months ago. Why haven’t the federalist sat down and had major discussions. They kinda had a hand in making this monster come about.
This shit is on them.
Alito still pushing for King designation for American President. Unless they are Democrats
bsky.app/profile/arts...
All Justices do know that. Among those who support the administration, many do it in spite of it and a couple of them do so because of it!
Except for queef justice alito and career criminal thomas.
Ruth seems to be negotiating current events on a ship that's already sailed.
So what's the timeline between Alito saying there was no need to act so quickly and the discovery that they had the busses loaded up?
It’s about time SCOTUS grew a backbone.
IMO as Pat Benatar sang "it's a little too little, it's a little too late".
They don't care. It is 100% richest for them at the expense of Democracy. They have been planking this for 20 years. They have plans. Extradition agreements. They have planned this meticulously.
Hopefully that means they’ve had their noses honked by the Trump administration one too many times.
This message with trump is all the fault of the Supreme Court!!!
They knew....
Hegseth is the clearest example that Trump puts himself above everything- INCLUDING national security
Can Trump be impeached for defying the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia?
Ask the Senate.
Thank you 😊 I have written to a couple of my local congress.
Sure, but hasn't he been impeached twice before?? What does a third time do? Is it a baseball game, three strikes and THEN he's out? I don't understand how he is even president again 😭😭😭
He was impeached but not convicted. The House voted for impeachment but the Senate fell short of votes. So a convicted felon, twice impeached, disgraced and a giant orange moron was elected. We have project 2025 to thank.
Thank you 😊 And that is what I was hoping. I also hope that those who have been enabling him will begin to see the destruction that he is causing. And hang in there 🫂
I'll believe it when they actually stop him on more than a temporary basis and when they continually put a stop to his decimation of the Constitution.
Right. The S/C are just like those parents you see who keep threatening their kids with no dessert if they don't eat their vegetables, and when they don't they get their dessert anyway.
If everyone reading this and more writes and mails millions of letters directly to all 9 members of SCOTUS, they can’t just refuse. Can they? Please consider this and share to encourage this to happen ASAP, no matter the result. blindgordieblog.wordpress.com/2025/04/15/w...
Yes, they can and would refuse. Riff raff on every seat, but 1. Sorry...but it's true.
It wouldn't surprise me, but I still think it's worth trying after the late night ruling. It's time to think outside the box and try anything and everything, to overthrow Trump.
BREAKING: Trump says next time he’ll just line “Terrorist” up on 5th Ave. (In this sick joke, I hate that humor must have element of truth)
But is it honestly that sick when nobody can say with any certainty that it wouldn’t happen? At any rate, it got you a follow from a fellow Coloradan.
You’re totally right! Nazis found it expedient! And hello and follow backed atcha from the Springs
To think I assumed they were part of the regime! My regret! There’s hope for the US CONSTITUTION!
George w/ respect, though hopefully you’re right, be prepared 4 disappointment in your optimistic assessment of implications of SCOTUS 1 AM order. They have shown a knack 4 finding a way 2 side w/ Trump & throw a monkey wrench into the wheels of justice.
About time!
If they can repeal Roe V. Wade, they can repeal the immunity decision!
The presidential immunity case was such a no-brainer and they gave it to him anyway. What did they think would result from that?
You, Mr Conway are in a position that most of us are not, to publicly articulate the message to SCOTUS: WHAT DID YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU HANDED TRUMP (OR ANY PRESIDENT) IMMUNITY ON A SILVER PLATTER? OF COURSE, THEY WERE GOING TO THUMB THEIR NOSE AT YOU? If you didn’t expect this U R 2 dumb 2 serve
They found out
Elbows up, U.S.Supreme Court! 🇨🇦
God, I hope so.
Oh! Chickens coming home to roost
I’m afraid I will require a pattern of adherence to the actual Constitution heretofore from SCOTUS by its resolutions for the remainder of the democracy in order to regain my trust.
I think that america being on the brink of civil war is scaring them into doing the right thing rather than actually wanting to do the right thing!
When is his immunity going to be revoked?
At this point, if the SC tries to reel in his powers, Trump will just call the SC a nasty gang of nine (well, at least seven), and send them to El Salvador…
Yes, this is slightly hyperbolic, but then again, is it? Who would stop him???
📌
George, the (political) Supreme Court of the US is an absolute joke. It's nothing more, nothing less, than a bought and paid for institution by the highest bidders and have zippo ethics and is revealing itself to be on par with the judiciary outcomes of Russia and China.
... ... ... after they gave him the power to wipe them out under the guise of duties of the presidency? Is this their plan to turn off the judiciary? Seems sssssssus...
Spot on.
Is anyone talking about how this ruling turned airport-bound buses around AFTER Boasberg was told there were no plans to fly anyone out Friday or Saturday?
they created this monster...its on their hands
TFG like Hitler believes that he is unstoppable, that was a mistake then and a bigger mistake now.
I don’t understand the fancy words in the New Yorker. Plus I don’t have a sub. Can you summarize this in emoji form for me?
Supreme Court: 😱 Intelligent Americans: 🤦🏻♀️😡 You and me: 🏴☠️
I hope every federal judge in the nation realizes that Trump and his whole administration is corrupt, detestable and a danger to the country. And that the courts need to step up and assert their lawful authority over this chaos and madness. And hold Trump to account for his unconstitutional actions.
I love the thought, but how exactly? Even though SCOTUS gave him immunity, they are re-thinking it, but with zero enforcement powers.
Yep, and this is a problem they should have considered, but didn’t
We don’t know yet because this has never happened before, but I don’t think his supporters want angry mobs at their doors and I doubt that all the people with billions lost and will continue to lose are going to protect him. I think they will prob find a patsy to rid themselves of him.
But Johnson says they can eliminate federal courts.
Until everybody gets an RV.
In all matters FFS.
Maybe they should revisit their IMMUNITY decision!
In my personal life, I’ve dealt with people who are mentally ill. One thing I know: you can’t reason with somebody who’s crazy. The Supreme Court simply needs to lay down the law and stop pretending that Donald Trump is a rational actor. He’s insane.
This is exactly how to deal with a narcissist.
Literally
Yes And he's the kid who NEVER got punched in the face when he deserved it... it humbles a person and often reminds them of who they REALLY are
No hope for Thomas or Alito. They both have MAGA hats up their ass.
They have to rescind their decision on his immunity. A lose elected leader without checks becomes a tyrant
I guess their toughness will be the inverse of the threats they receive - like almost everyone in the Republican Party.
Please yes 🙏🏽
Or: You broke it. You bought it.
They have to know that if Trump continues that THEY'LL be out of a job and on a flight to El Salvador.
Pain is the only way you learn in politics
May be too little too late. Ice thugs are still black bagging legal residents and straight to hell
Unfortunately, the USSC has been the only branch standing up, allbeit, finally. Congress has the power to stop it before midterm. Call for impeachment on the house floor and publish a list of the traitors who vote against it. Then repeat in a senate trial. Prevent the "we didn't know" defense.
If it took the big 6 this long to see that, it’s just one more reason to impeach them for sheer incompetence. How’s that immunity decision working out for you, yer honors?
This Supreme Court has an almost perfect record of failing to meet the moment.
It’s Tuesday & Trump & his phone line don’t work much. But you can leave a message 11-3. 202.456.1111 Every day call your reps and 202-224-3121 & Mike Johnson John Thune Chuck Schumer Hakeem Jefferies Call for impeachment/treason charges Need help use 5calls.org
"Oopsie," said CJ Roberts, "we created a monster; never thought he'd go this far."
Words. Now what?
Too little. Too late.
Why were they (Roberts and the far-right justices) the last to realize it? Or the last to accept it? They have certainly been directly warned by Prof. Tribe, Judge Luttig, and many others for long enough. Willful ignorance.
the RW SCOTUS judges are beginning to realize they ruled themselves out of relevance ruling themselves back in will be a more difficult task
They’ll deserve every bit of the difficulty to try and gain respect and relevance once more.
They can just resharpen that creative writing pencil and pick Another case that will take the teeth out of their last ruling. Alito and Thomas are too compromised to change their direction but the rest of the acotus doesn’t have to be scrotum lickers.
Exactly! They helped create the monster, they now need contain their mess.
They are going to have to try and save there own jobs trumps going to wanna impeach them all
the trump folks believed the justices would be happy to play along with their bad faith arguments because for years, they did. we still have to see if this is really changing.
Hello America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸, Some unelected Immigrant is somehow in-charge of your purse strings. Paying El Salvador $6 million to torture the people that were sent there without due process.
They waited till democracy was on the brink of death, searching their souls, trying to find a way to appease Trump, in a decision that was determined by their own making. They created this monster. Are they too late in saving it and their own souls?
Yes
1789, our Founders enacted a Constitution to protect us from being ruled by a king, dictator, or tyrant. In 2024, the Roberts Court majority has taken us down a dangerous road allowing dictators and authoritarians to bypass the Constitution’s checks-and-balances and exercise unchecked, power.
Impeach Thomas and Alito.
True George but honestly they should have known. It's Trump hello.
EXACTLY... very well put....
