In the words of "Ab Fab" Smoking kills, just not reliably.

If the universe draws the worst tarot card when deciding our fate and we end up with that piece of shit polluting the White House again, guaranteed that Alito and Thomas will retire so that he can appoint two 40 year old hard right nut jobs to the bench. Cementing a dangerous, reactionary, regressive S. Court for decades. A vile troglodyte and popular vote loser who has never cracked a book in his life will have then appointed FIVE S. Court Justices. Something to amuse McConnell while he’s whiling away eternity below? Sure. But we’re already in the worst timeline. Let’s pray it somehow doesn’t get even worse.

Is there any statutory requirement to be a Supreme Court justice? If there isn't, the Federalist Society will say fuck that stuff about 40-year-olds, here's Kyle Rittenhouse and Chaya Raichik.

The modern Taney Court continues to wild out. Guess they're going to delay the Dictator Challenge for President Klan Robe to next week or even in November.

Remember Portland in '20...and how we've never seen anything like that there since we fired tffg? Read this follow up piece about it, will make SCOTUS neutering EPA and SEC today all the more infuriating...corruption 2.0...

Face it, Clarence hates women, make that everybody except Alito, Alito hates women, Kavanaugh the Tearful hates women because he likes to attack them in the frat house and Christine called him on it,, Roberts thinks any kind of discrimination is so over, and Gorsuch calls the three LIBERAL female justices "picky children." Yeah, he said that.

The Immoral majority is simply rotten and brought to you by the non voters and third party voters.

In the name of God, vote Biden.

Your reporting is great Marcie, but I hate this Supremely Corrupt court of hacks.

Next session comes the name change : Sublime Court™.

How fucking crazy it is that Trump got THREE Justices during his one single term while Biden has had exactly zero?

Oh right. McConnell stole one of those seats anyways and Democrats just let it happen.

They did not "let it" happen.

There was nothing they could do because voters did not back up the Dem president by giving him a Dem Senate.

Vileaxxe's avatar

Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Brianna Amore's avatar

Oh that's right, my bad.

And she's writing some blistering dissents, which I love.

"Neil Gorsuch’s mom Anne once ran the EPA under Reagan, as in, came in to destroy it."

Anne at least had the goddamn common decency to drop dead at age 62, but I've a feeling the country will be dealing with Neil's bullshit for decades to come.

Dave Gesell's avatar

To be fair, it is the responsibility of all Rock Ribbed Republicans™ to dismantle the EPA, since it was established by that Radical Leftist™ ... ummm ... Richard Nixon.

She sounds like the kind of nurturing mother who drove baby Neil around while smoking non-stop with the windows rolled up, so maybe there is some hope that the ravages of so much second hand smoke will catch up with him.

2 packs a day guarantees she smoked while pregnant.

Even the cat laying halfway on my keyboard knows this SCOTUS is one gnarled up hairball.

Congratulations Clarence and Ginni on their new RV!

There was a plan written for that BY PROGRESSIVES that was ready in time for 2020.

Nobody -- no White Democrat in leadership, anyway -- wanted to take it up to get the SCOTUS fixed EVEN THOUGH the reason it was expanded to 9 when it was last expanded was because the Circuit Courts below them expanded to 9 ... and now we have 13.

But we don't have 13 justices.

Because no White Democrat in leadership wanted to use the plan that was ready by 2020 to expand the Court.

So now, four years later, here we are.

But 13 is such an icky number!

Anyone know how to watch the debate live, also free, in Europe? CNN site says Cnn.com will have it with no login, but their site is a mess and I can't find a link to the debate viewing page.

Thanks to the excellent Marcie Jones, for valuable coverage. But much of this news fails to please. I like not this news. Bring me some other news.
