Sean Davis should be put in his place.
Sean Davis should be put in his place.
If the president is going to ignore the law and the Constitution, then the Supreme Court is obligated to ignore him and put him in his place. There, fixed it.
Federalists kinda suck
I think he might be confused as to the purpose of the Constitution...
Alito and Thomas have made it clear they disregarded it and have replaced with their own ideology
Ask state police to arrest him. @maddow.msnbc.com @gtconway.bsky.social
Curious which bits of the constition (which this asshole has definitely read ALL 35 pages of) the Supreme Court is violating, except perhaps for the provisions on bribery
He's calling for sedition. That's what disobeying the Supreme Court would be, as it would overthrow our current style of government.
“He’s calling for sedition….again” fify
But at least he's doing it almost incoherently. Apparently no one ever explained pronoun references to him.
Mommy milky
That is directly in-line with their normal reporting. They are a partisan hack website with a crappy reputation for posting misinformation and jumping on RWNJ bandwagons (such as their defense of Roy Moore). This isn’t like “National Review” or the (actual) Federalist Society is calling for this.
John Marshall, turning in his grave, wants the name "Federalist" back.
Did any Repubies get past High School or are they just mentally stuck?
Switch "Supreme Court" with "president" in that statement and he'd have it about right.
What’s the profile of a consumer of The Federalist? This asshat has been on Charlie Kirk. I’m betting a majority of The Federalist Society, especially jurists, are not on board with this nonsensical, extremist pov. But I’m prepared to be disappointed.
Oh, FFS.
How rich
"When Neo-Federalists argue that The Constitution describes a government dominated by a President, they’re [saying] the founders’ original intent was to divide power between the branches unequally, and to entrust the most easily corruptible branch with the greatest share of responsibility."
Let's be sure he is on the list for the tribunals. Let no billionaire scum be forgotten when we reach that point -- and we *will* reach that point.
That fucking "constitution" fig leaf...we all know these assholes are lying. Just say you want Trump as dictator
If it wasn’t already blatantly obvious the US is under a fascist regime then defying the Supreme Court would cement the conman and his followers as fascists. Stay tuned for the civil war.
It's overdue time for patriotic Americans to do something about reactionaries attacking the Constitution.
When they say this sht out loud, someone with a microphone/camera literally needs to say 'thats not how checks and balances work bro'.
Sort of makes you think they were never about protecting the Constitution in the first place.
I COMPLETELY AGREE
To be honest, I feel this way about Dobbs. The Supreme Court has undermined its own legitimacy and may now reap the whirlwind. In other words, everything Trump touches dies.
Makes one wonder if he's read The Federalist Papers.
When (the mouthpiece of) the rich openly call(s) for the titular US president to defy US courts and the US Constitution -then the rich believe that the US military is already theirs to control. Michael Flynn has worked hard to deliver up the US military to fascism. If he succeeded...we fall.
Did this nincompoop ever take a high school civics class? If so, did he pass it?
Right on time. I said they will make SCOTUS redundant with 100 days
Look at the guy, no one can take any serious that has such a dildos peak hair style.
That's cool. Americans now need to call on the normies to establish a secondary, bipartisan governing body to run the country, and ignore the crime cult goblins.
This is scary.
Wow I did Nazi that coming...
If we get through this intact we 100% have to do Nuremberg style trials where this guy gets the maximum allowable punishment.
He seems really level-headed.
Like Alito & Thomas?
Citizens can NOT be "deported". If citizens are sent out of the country we'll move backwards from the Rule of Law to the "Bloody Code". "Penal transportation" has been illegal in Britain for 150+ years, but it's still a thing in (guess where?!) Russia. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_t...
Next, Sean is going to force SCOTUS to rule that he's actually not a bald, impotent little shithead.
“Put it in its place” - I guarantee he didn’t feel that way when SCOTUS had rulings against Biden. His loyalty to party over Constitution is showing.
Did we ever figure out who funds The Federalist?
Sean that’s called treason and impeachment is needed
Why? This should be revoked day 1 after the regime is overthrown.
The Federalist is not The Federalist Society. (Though both are bad.)
Ah, thanks. However, it appears the Federalist Society is ALSO a 501(c)3 and according to their "planned giving" page, donations and bequests are also tax deductible. fedsoc.org/planned-giving
I don’t think The Federalist (Sean Davis’s website) is actually a nonprofit. They’re famously very secretive about their funding.
Almost like they were never really strict constitutionalists at all…
Amazing how they twist the truth into a pretzel
I honestly don’t think he has a clue what the Constitution actually says.
Yes, these guys definitely want the full confrontation NOW, because they think they have the power now. I think they're afraid if they wait too long to force the fight, Trump's popular support will continue to erode along with the economy.
Has Sean yet informed anyone just who funds The Federalist?
Good question
When the last of the checks and balances is ignored, only autocracy and anarchy are left.
Been ignored before...
I never again want to hear another conservative go on about how the Constitution must be strictly construed to stay consistent with the Founders’ intent.
📌
Luigi would like a word with him.
FUN FACT: "The Federalist is funded by longtime Trump donor oligarch billionaire Dick Uihlein. In 2020, former employee Robert Tracinski blamed the publication's reputation for inaccuracy on co-founder Davis, who he said had a destructive "always be trolling" mindset." bsky.app/profile/rach...
The logic is rooted in Eastern grade school playground philosophy. To quote Joey, the renown 4th grade thinker from Thomas Jefferson Elementary “ Im rubber, your glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you”. With elements of the popular ethos “ Liar Liar Pants on Fire”. What an ass.
Pockets of the Right have been on the Repeal Marbury/"John Roberts has made his decision; now let him enforce it" train for a while now. (see: Steve Deace, Daniel Horowitz)
Maybe it's time for the justices to stop filling their clerkships with Federalist Society recommendations.
Do they ever try to define what law the Supreme Court (or other courts) is defying or the part of the constitution the SC is getting wrong? Or is this simply going on "feelings" of what they think the law or constitution "should" say? Why does anyone listen with no concrete examples?
“Equal Justice Under the Law” … sounds like Thomas and Alito have a fan.
The federalist society is a terrorist organization and its founder is a traitor. Needs to be tried and dealt with.
These guys don’t worry in the slightest about what could happen if a Democrat president should take this stance because they have no intention of letting a Democrat ever win the presidency again.
If the Supreme Court actually did that, we might have a problem. Fortunately the Court shows no sign of ignoring the law or the Constitution. It is not the Court that is ignoring the law right now.
He’s telling the president that the judiciary doesn’t matter, directly contravening the Constitution. Mr. Davis is not a lawyer & he must have been absent in middle school when they explained about “checks & balances” in the US system gov’t. Embarrassing for The Federalist’s CEO not to know this. 😬
And what place would that be? The gulag in El Salvador?
Such a maroon - had to go back to my Looney Tunes days since they are obviously all cartoons.
Big IF
“Sean received a BBA in finance from Texas Tech University and an MBA in finance and entrepreneurial management from the Wharton School” Federalist He doesn’t understand economics either “ECONOMICS Tariffs Are The Only Way To Restore America’s Long-Term Economic Health SEAN DAVIS APRIL 3, 2025”
That is not the way it works. The President is accountable to the Court. That is why we have Courts.
I hope the day comes when he will deeply regret that statement.
I understand some of these people are still lawyers. This needs to be addressed.
I think you’re confusing The Federalist, aka “gentry Breitbart” with The Federalist Society.
my interpretation of this is “the constitution is whatever each person wants it to be”
Maybe the real constitution was the friends we made along the way
more like the laws we broke along the way 😒
Those are the real friends we made along the way, too.
theonion.com/area-man-pas...
Ya gotta believe
Vile stuff.
This is how democracies fall: not with tanks, but with tweets that say the president should ignore the courts. If you’re still wondering whether Project 2025 is serious—read this again. They’re not bluffing. #AuthoritarianThreat #SCOTUS #Project2025
Guessing that same ahole praised the court overturning student loan forgiveness and would be apoplectic if a POTUS ignored any court rulings on 2nd Amendment issues.
That’s where @radiofreetom.bsky.social used to work!
If the stakes weren't so high, this would just be a laughably dishonest and inverted argument. Someone is ignoring the law and the Constitution and it isn't SCOTUS (this time). Same with appropriately putting the White House in its place -- SCOTUS gets to do that, with some limits.
Americans need to follow the constitution…
Whoa. Dude. I was gonna let him know that I found his address with a friend and the help of Grok, and ask him what he thinks about posting traitorous things while his addy is so easily obtained, but it appears I can’t - because he blocked me. I’ve never engaged with him to my knowledge.
This shitbag also blocked me. I bet they blocked me at the same time.
Mommy Milky?
📌
Who is this idiot Sean Davis?
Federalist writer and generally extreme Republican partisan
And there is no evidence that he knows what is in the Constitution beyond 1/2 of the 2nd Amendment
Take away the Federalist 501c tax exempt status
Skinner meme but it is the 5/9 justices we hand picked who are out of touch.
The SC is not ignoring the law -they’re literally giving Trump more chances to do awful shit than they should be
Then Congress should do its job and impeach
Add this clown and Leonard Leo to the list going to jail.
F**k The Federalist Society
The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist are twins
These people need to be tried as traitors.
Literally he fails basic civics. Scotus decides whats constitutional not crack-pot fascists.
German here, Your country is now where mine was 90 years ago. My ancestors did not stop fascism and it plunged us both into war. You must resist!
I've been viewing The Federalist as fascism-curious for a while. I'm thinking they're full fash now.
They should just rebrand now and get it over with: The Fascist.
They've always been fascist. There have been fascist federal judges on the bench for decades (Reagan and the Bushes stuffed the courts with them). The fascist movement in the US has basically been a legal movement at its core since the 1970s.
John Roberts' history of voter suppression goes back to the 1980s. Then look what he did to get W undemocratically appointed POTUS by SCOTUS in 2000. W rewarded him by making him Chief Justice in '05. Roberts wrote maj opinion in Shelby, concurring opinion against stare decisis in Citizens United.
John Roberts's history of voter suppression goes back to his admiration of William Rehnquist. Rehnquist was STRONGLY opposed to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. There is a persistent rumor that Rehnquist himself used to go to the polls & challenge/harass Democratic voters in Arizona in the early 60s.
I'll bet it goes back to childhood, and there's probably folks still alive that remember him being a little shit to play with or be in class with. Can you imagine him being a hall monitor or on the student council and not get lost in the amazing degree he must've been an asshole & manipulator? ❤️🤍💙
They are
He stacked the SC with a 6:3 majority but it still won't bow to his every whim so just ignore it.😏
"The Federalist Society ... advocates for a textualist and originalist interpretation of the US Constitution" says Wikipedia. Has this guy read the Constitution? I think Wikipedia needs to be updated.
a principled stand he would absolutely espouse regardless of the president's party affiliation
That's not how this works
I think we're obligated to drag his sorry ass in front on the Washington Monument and tar and feather him.
Gee, I just don't know who to trust. One one hand we have Sean Davis, who is probably a pretty smart guy. But on the other hand we have a 9-0 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. I just don't know which of them I should rely on when it comes to interpreting the Constitution.
Federalist = fascist
I feel like we're going to find out soon that he's one of those guys that suntans his balls
These people clearly hate this country so much.
Treason.
The J-6 SCOTUS consists of Federalists. That's you, B. Are you sure you want to challenge them just because they don't all rule your way. Deport Federalists. Stat.
WTAF?
Davis, you’re an ass.
“There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes.” - Hemingway
Who does he think is supposed interpret the Constitution? Old orange face?
Publius and Cato would be appalled but it's not like these bastards read a single word. These typed hijack the symbols while attacking the substance.
I like this. Why? Because it shows the Federalist for what it has become: a straight, blinded partisan tool, run by blinded, tribal partisan tools. 1/3
I don't think Davis even has a law degree; his Federalist Society bio shows work as a policy advisor to Rick Perry (pause to chortle), and an investigator for Tom Coburn, a Senator from OK. 2/3
But he feels comfortable telling the Executive Branch, in a dispute with a co-equal branch -- the job of which is to say what the law is -- to roll its tanks right through the line, irrespective of the constitutional debris. 3/3
That’s not even the point. He does not care about constitution. He wants it cancelled.
This is insurrection, just in a non-violent way.
Aren’t these the folks who would normally decry “situational ethics”?
This terminal virgin’s best work was in Impractical Jokers
Is this the definition of contempt of court I'm no fancy big city lawyer
Trump, his administration and supporters and some GOP are Fascists and that is a fact!
Which means the Uihleins want Trump to defy the Supreme Court.
The Federalist. Famously referencing the Federalist Papers wherein Madison et al argued for checks and balances and ambition countering ambition. Should just rename that rag the Absolutist and get it over with.
Does that work in reverse? If a dem President wants to ignore a Conservative court on an issue like gun control, for example, that'd be ok then?
#lockhimup
Treason. Get the gallows ready
Part of the Supreme Court's "place" is to balance the powers of the legislative and executive branches. If anything, they should have been in this place much earlier.
His if-then proposition is seriously flawed
Hey ROBERTS. If you are listening….
And if the POTUS ignores SCOTUS then *everyone else* has a duty and vested interest in removing him. For the leader of our country to ignore the checks and balances we have in place to prevent over reach by any one branch of government is to declare war on democracy and the citizens of this country
Is it okay with the feds to argue that people urging US elected officials to violate the US Constitution should be permanently excised from democracy? Asking for a friend.
Just reported the idiot for spreading false information.
A hardy "fuck those guys" to the staff of The Federalist, and an extra big "fuck that guy" to that guy in particular.
I mean, the Supreme Court decides what is constitutional so they can’t ignore it even if they wanted to… what they say is by definition constitutional, no matter how awful the rulings are sometimes
Is this the mommy milky guy
bsky.app/profile/kenw...
I don't think that's how the three branches work.
masks are comin off all over
Wait a minite, Trump got to appoimt one third of that bench, and it already had Thomas and Alito, who are to the right of Attila the Hun on it? And Trump is still not happy with the Supreme Court?
He wants Ed Martin, Pam Bondi, Alina Habba, and Aileen Cannon on the Supreme Court.
What's insane is that Trump is the one shitting on the constitution
Heck of a big IF you've got there, little CEO. I recommend reading the orders and the legal texts before trying to cash that particular check.
Treason is punishable by death, Sean
Apparently I was a dumbass for believing they had principles they would not compromise.
Dear CJ Roberts: Enjoy. Tho’ Roberts denies he is a member, he previously served on the steering committee of the Washington DC chapter of the Federalist Society.
I'm certain Davis did not support ignore by the abortion ruling
We should confront them with their own past statements on civil liberties
Dictatorship now, huh?
Its place is a coequal branch of govt. Same power as POTUS.
That was always their endgame. They never really respected the Constitution and the rule of law; they just pretended to. Sad.
Yeah, they made a fetish of their pocket Constitutions & US flag pins, but their devotion to both is superficial.
How backwards are they getting this??
MAGA hat on backwards, backwards.
If the law doesn't constrain him, then it can't constrain anyone else. Functional societies understand why this is probably a bad idea, but fascists (and the societies poisoned by them) are too stupid to comprehend it.
It’s only a matter of time. Will probably want to get martial law safely in place first.
Cool. So we’ll be under military rule soon. Really looking forward to that …
It’s almost like these dickless fascist douchebags haven’t read the constitution because our RIGHT to due process is right in it
Then the current president of the us needs to be arrested and jailed, then hanged for treason.
So the CEO is advocating treason?
Way to announce that you’re a traitor for the world to hear & see. Treason is unforgivable.
That guy looks like halitosis
Time to designate The Federalist Society as s terrorist group. Either that or a bunch of traitors.
Isn’t that what he’s already doing?
So the executive branch is greater than the judicial? What about the legislative? Do they get a say in anything? Seems like a substantial need for a separation and balance of powers.
At some point, like all fascist regimes, it will come to an end and there will be legal consequences for all involved. Ill bet the Nazis never thought they would ever have to speak to what they did.
They're eating the checks They're eating the balances
And shitting the Constitution!
*ON the Constitution
This group of fascists trying to remake our country and every society w human rights and rule of GOOD laws needs to be shunned and disgraced for their aspirations. I heard Moscow s pretty nice in spring and summer. And DONT COME BACK
Umm. I could be wrong, but isn’t the Supreme Court actually following the constitution and trying to get trump to as well?
...For a change?
Plus it's literally the supreme court's job to interpret the constitution and decide what it means.
There are MANY conservatives who want to change that. If you hear "unitary executive" magafolk talking about "reversing Marbury v Madison", that is what they mean. MvM was the 1803 case when we agreed to give the Supreme Court the final authority to decide what is Constitutional & what is not.
Those aren’t conservatives, those are fascists
Are there some fascists who are not conservatives?
Valid point
The Supreme Court does not have any independent means of enforcing its decisions. The SCt can decide anything they want, and tRUmp can simply ignore them. Unless the Senate is willing to vote guilty at an impeachment trial, there is no punishment for tRUmp refusing to obey a SCt ruling.
Today’s OMG.
Sounds like a keyboard warrior. They get real soft when they have to spend a few days in the jails they wanted built
Logic dictates that we can ignore the president's orders and edicts
#lawdayofaction #ruleoflaw Lawyers -- May 1st is the day we reaffirm our oath ✋🏾✋🏼✋🏽✋🏻✋🏿to the Constitution and stand up for the ⚖️ rule of law. Take an hour out of your day to join us! Lawdayofaction.org
Reskeets much appreciated!💜
I guess he forgot whose job it is to interpret the Constitution.
So, any of the six conservative justices who vote for upholding the Constitution are, in fact “lawless.” Good to know.
Ins't that the mommy milky guy?
Checks and balances as long as the Executive Branch is doing all the checking and balancing.
I’d love to know precisely what part of the constitution he thinks is being ignored
When we finally turn on these fascists it's not going to be pretty.
The wrath of the American people and our love of our country will be experienced by the likes of these in ways they never imagined possible.
Cool, cool, cool. Another asshat for the El Salvadoran prison.
In a normal Country a publication telling to ignore the Supreme Court would get a publication block. You can ignore a government, a regime but not the highest college of judges upholding the constitution and all jurisprudential
Scotus is the law. Not the President. Executive & Judiciary are kept apart remember.
This train will not stop until forced. Should be another crazy week in front of us.
That’s Mr. Meghan McCain’s co-founder
The majority of these justices on the supreme court were chosen by the Federalist society 🙄
Sounds like Sean wants to be the ceo of the daily stormer.
Um, someone should tell him that the Supreme Court, to the extent that it insists on due process, is upholding the constitution. Don’t want to blow his mind, but…
All the republican judges are federalist judges????
Has this guy ever heard of Marbury and Madison’s little spat? Seems like maybe Publius, who wrote about that exact issue, said something about it? This guy is no federalist. I don’t think he’d pass a high school American history class.
When do Americans get to break the law & defy the courts ? Like the Jan 6th guys.. asking for 75,000,000 friends.. especially the 75,000,000 about to lose healthcare.
Today. Structured.
But, Trump is the one who put the Supreme Court in place.
Anarchy
Gee, it's almost as if "Federalism" was a front, window dressing.....a lie.
They spent 40 years packing the court with their own people and it still isn’t enough.
For what it's worth, The Federalist isn't the same thing as the Federalist Society. They both suck, though.
Thank you, I’m actually aware of that intellectually it’s just my reading comprehension that needs work 😂
They are lawless.
Lock them both up…
I'm sorry but this is all I will ever think of when I see his name and this should be everyone's first thought forever
lol wat
