Today’s deluge of of fascist bullshit and treason from the Unsupreme Court and its assault on the rule of law. From Associated Press: The Supreme Court strips the SEC of a critical enforcement tool in fraud cases The Supreme Court on Thursday stripped the Securities and Exchange Commission of a major tool in fighting securities fraud in a decision that also could have far-reaching effects on other regulatory agencies.
More SCOTUS-induced nausea today. I am saddened to think how many years it will be, if ever, before any of the plaintiffs in the oxycontin case see a dime of the damages they should be getting.
SOTUS-induced nausea is well put, Jan. I feel sick to my stomach thinking about this bunch of over-privileged, self-inflated automatons calmly gutting laws meant to help people defend themselves from corporate greed and arrogance. Unfettered "free enterprise" comes at a cost that the rest of us have to bear. There must be someplace to channel the rage and frustration I feel towards these awful people who have undermined the Supreme Court, a court I once held in high regard. This is wrong, wrong, wrong.
There are six (6) SCOTUS Opinions left. Roberts has announced the Court will issue probably 2 Opinions on Monday, JULY 1, 2024. 2 cases 3 days in a row.
The U.S. vs DJT bogus "immunity" will be posted then Thomas & Alito are headed for Yacht voyages to anchorages outside the reach of U.S. Jurisdiction. SCOTUS is not done with Project 2025's targeting of Federal Agency rules & regulations. Worst to come.
The Supreme Court has failed us in so many ways. They are hyper-privileged. Kavanaugh is a prime example of an excellent sheep who has jumped through all the appropriate hoops. The three justices who are holding the line against authoritarianism should be applauded and supported. We must fight back. It takes something like 3.2 percent of the population to make a movement viable. Let's find that number for the US and match or exceed it.
SCROTUS/$COTUS are nothing but corporate fuckknuckles bending over for their masters. They’ve completely destroyed the judicial branch and handed the country over to the ChristoFascist oligarchs.
Frankly all the Sackler's directly involved in peddling OxyContin should have been charge with manslaughter. They knew (unless their IQ i below 60) that all opioids are addictive. Hell I knew that when I was 16. It has been known for well over 150 years. Britain and France fought 2 wars to enforce the opium trade on China. The Sackler's may not have taken up weapons to enforce the use of opioids, but their claims that OxyContin was non-addictive and rewarding unscrupulous doctors to write more and more subscriptions was as sinful as the Brits and French forcing op[i9um on he Chinese. Greed wins every time the slaughter house 6 sitting on the unsupreme court are as guilty as the Sackler's.
What we require is not a younger Democratic Presidential candidate but a reformed Supreme Court. The current gang of six is a disgrace having made a mockery of judicial impartiality, flying insurrectionist symbols and ruling that Donald Trump is above the law.
The Supreme Court is not above the law. IMPEACH the gang of six, now!
The SEC ruling is a continuation of the "nondelegation doctrine" which the Federalist Society has instructed their puppets to use to gradually disembowel the administration, starting with last year's EPA ruling and continuing right on through the other departments of government that they don't like. It's Project 2025 by other means.
I think this is a nice time to say that although I loath republicans for being traitors, and the L-word media (Lazy, not Liberal) for abetting them, what if some purists and/or idiots had voted for Al Gore in 2000 and Hillary Clinton in 2016? None of the members of the majority, with the exception of The Porn King, would be on the court.
Come to think of it, I recall being at Columbia in 1991 when students were protesting the Gulf War. My best friend there--one of my best friends ever--and I were walking by and he muttered, "I don't like this," because he was a Poppy Bush republican (not the worst kind of person to be). I agreed. He said he was surprised, considering how much I despised Bush. I said I despise him because he's smarter than his policies, but what bothered me was that the idiots who were protesting were the same idiots who had said they wouldn't vote for Michael Dukakis because he was too much like Bush. It's a long-standing Democratic ailment.

I can say this here…

I am so disgusted. It’s not a court anymore it’s a circus of the damned.
More dithering than deciding as the right wing seems to be annihilating their own legitimacy to make way for the authoritarian world they lust after.
Sacklers-pond scum dressed in fine clothes special circle of hell for them

Golly gee, one hopes the true believers who voted for Jill Stein in 2016 "for their principles" are happy with the world they have helped to make.....
Idiots. All of them.
Yeah but her emails
