It's time to purge the Supreme Court. It's clear that they don't give a shIt about the law or the constitution. They are the activist judges the Republicans always whined about.

People put out these ideas, but I rarely see who or how they’d like them to be implemented. Who would you want to initiate the purge? Any democrat president fine?
Expanding the court is the generally anticipated way to do that
There are several examples from antiquity that show that the people will solve the problem of the government doesn't.
The vast majority of the time, the replacement ends up being worse. It's tricky business overthrowing a government, and the ones that end up on top are usually the most bloodthirsty and least ethical.

There’s a mechanism for impeaching Supreme Court justices, which would apply to the six criminals.
Or, just ignore them and start a parallel court. If they won’t do their job, why keep listening to them?

I mean I think it's time to purge the whole govt and try again. The system is clearly broken beyond repair
Yes. When the wealthy and powerful have everything and the rest have nothing the rest burn the system down and start again.

This is tyranny. Literal and explicit, without exaggeration.
Understand that and act accordingly.
The court did not address the worst rights violations: the ice agents refused to return the victims' Real ID (driver's license) and they probably copied his phone.
Meaning after taking his ID they can then indefinitely incarcerate him for not having ID. They can also prevent him from driving because he does not have a driver's license.
And they added his data to a criminal database along with all of his social contacts and communication.
The court did not explain the reason for its shadow docket order
Cool that they can just do this.
If they don't have to explain themselves, then they shouldn't expect one when the angry mob shows up at their door 🤷
yeah, it turns out unelected, lifetime appointees with the power to interpret the law with no oversight was a bad idea.

When the alien anthropologists find the burnt out husk of our world in the (not so far) future and try to figure out what the hell happened, I hope they find Sotomayor's writings and realize not everyone was batshit crazy.
I hope they find my memes
People will study the art of your memes.
Did they just erase the 14th Amendment and made it null and void? https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv I get it now. It says no State and not no federal. Federal is not a State.
"Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
I am not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. However it seems to me that the Supreme Court really doesn't give a shit about the law, the Constitution, or our rights.
We have all been figuring that out what every constitutional right not honored shit on one after another.
I mean the decision to give presidents immunity from the law made that glaringly obvious

They gutted the 14th when they allowed Trump to run. They also used it to justify corporate personhood. Facists don’t really uphold anything ever except their own corruption and bigotry.
Terry stop was deemed legal in 1960s. This was expected as long a white people are safe or not effected.
Never heard of that before so for others:
A Terry stop in the United States allows the police to briefly detain a person based on reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity. Reasonable suspicion is a lower standard than probable cause which is needed for arrest.

It starts with Latinos, it won't end there.
Thanks there Latino's for Trump.
As an outsider I'm genuinely shocked. So much for the melting pot. :(
The fact that the conservatives didn't bother to explain their reasoning is entirely damning.
As a brown person. Yeah this is not new, America’s mask is just off now.
What, you think people weren't just bidding on George Zimmerman's paintings for his artistic capacity? Incidentally, someone who would have been prime illegal ICE detainment material had he not signaled as he did to the MAGA crowd. I imagine he's their "one good Hispanic".
Make America Gestapo Again
The Supreme Court is a joke but the clowns are not really funny, more like sad and pathetic.
As it does not really matter what happens as long as "our side" wins, republican voters won't give a fuck. Also does not help that they are a bunch of stupid bigots that will cheer on this "decision".
The judges are owned by the federalist society, groomed and chosen from law school for siding with the party and the half century plans to end the republic in all but name for a one party plutocratic state.
Prez just hijacked the party, and whipped them into line again recently disparraging the very association that put them there.
The in crowd is rightfully worried about getting thrown out of the club. They also probably have some scandals on these judges the society holds to encourage their allegiance.
Much as the fitting historical parrallel, the borgia pope in the 16th century, the one machivelli based his prince on, the spanish pope nominated cardinals that he had compromised with prostitutes, and compromised existing ones.
We need focus on the federalist society, they are calling the shots or at least making the draft picks. They are also up to expanding the same secret society model to other areas, a federalist society for everything as Leonard Leo sold it, and got gifted I forget a billion or several from some chicago magnate dickhead in his old age, ul-something, ulrich maybe idk.
For us it begins at the grassroots. We don't have billionaires willing to create a national organization. So form small liberal groups, and then network them together. I'm serious. I started a group for queer men last year, now I am taking over the entire progressive scene in my state by creating an overarching organization that connects over a dozen key players (ACLU, Prides, migrant and trans organizations). If we did this in every area, and then networked THEM... well shit we'd have a base of power and even fundraising capabilities. IDK what else to do.

Can't wait until the people start fighting back violently.
Us Americans are not gonna protest. We are to busy looking at memes
Agents? How could you possibly know?
At least no Latinos voted for Trump, right? Right?
It passed with 66.6% of supreme court judges voting in favour.
I am SO FUCKING GRUMPY after reading this as the first thing I saw waking up today
I saw this coming. The SCOTUS is already compromised.
If this shitcircus was only affecting the US i wouldn't care, but it's not.
