Oh dear, one of Trump's rubber stamps seems to be malfunctioning. Perhaps some helpful billionaire will buy her an RV and a house for her mom, that seems to work on other justices.

It's interesting to see a squabble between two of the reactionary Catholics on the court. I'd have thought it'd have been between the fascist bloc and the religious whackos.

Look at how Justice Amy Coney Barrett looks at our duly elected President, the man who put her on the Supreme Court. She looks very bitter.

Um, justices don’t owe the president who selected them any favors. Was she supposed to be fawning over him? If she’s beginning to think for herself, and won’t let the big orange baby have everything he wants, good.

Besides, anyone who says she’s “not conservative enough” hasn’t been paying attention.

Yeah, that's not how it works here anymore.

At least she has principles, I guess.

I'm not sure about that... Probably just caught a whiff

Oh no! I'm sure she's worried about getting primaried in her next election! /s

These people are absolutely pitiful and predictable. “DEI this” and “DEI that”. Loomer is just mad she couldn’t be Trumps “DEI side chick” because she can’t shut her mouth and makes him look worse than he does on his own.

We should keep pointing out moments of ambiguous facial expressions among Trump's inner circle to gaslight MAGA into constant infighting.

It has more to do with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett siding with 3 liberal judges to form a majority forcing the Trump Admin to disburse billions in foreign aid, but yes let us fuck with the conservatives. They're too stupid to know nuance, anyways.

[–] chaotic_altruist@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Honestly a solid suggestion

I'm seeing two. Barret for choosing to side with maga, or maga for choosing barret. Either way, I'm enjoying the show!

Barrett doesn't lose though, their opinion has absolutely no effect on her.

She is either an ideologue, in which case her opinion is all that matters, or she's up for sale, in which case this can drive up her bargaining price.

Unless she cares what the rabble thinks for some other reason I'm unaware of.

She dissented in a minority opinion against a decision Alito made last week.

Alito made up complete fantasy and misinterpreted his own self to rule against the EPA and rrverse the 9th circuit. It is completely devoid of legal basis outside dictionary definitions and it even references its own arguments incorrectly. Alito literally contradicts himself in his own aegument and just plods right through. Barret calls this out as a failure on the basis of 'ordinary english'.

But it doesn't matter because Alito was in the majority. No matter how meaningless his arguments were or how utterly correct the dissenting opinion is: it is so ordered.
