Joy speaks for me

[senseandsensibility]

Said she finds the proceedings on the SC today "liberating." She thinks the court showed their true self today and she no longer has to give them the benefit of the doubt. Basically, they're (the heritage lawyers) are not even PRETENDING to be fair, so it's not necessary even to pretend to respect them.

And that's how I've been feeling for the past few hours as well.

[elleng]

1. ;-(

NOT why I went to law school.

[FalloutShelter]

2. I think you are right.

America WAKE UP!
We are the ones we are waiting for.
This traitor must NEVER be President again.
Democrats unite.

[ecstatic]

3. Agreed, except I had that epiphany when they overturned our right to an abortion

They fucked over millions of women without a care in the world. I knew then that they were scum that didn't deserve an ounce of respect or even acknowledgment. Why are we even obeying their rulings at this point? They are completely illegitimate.

[bdamomma]

5. Senator Sheldon

Whitehouse has been saying how they (Conservative justices) have been bought, Leonard Leo's lap dogs.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Kudos to Senator Whitehouse, this is one of his two top issues and speaks out on the news shows and in the Senate

Climate change and Supreme Court corruption!

[Hekate]

10. Exactly. The first 3 days after Dobbs I felt gut-punched & cried. But as the months rolled by

…and it got worse and worse, I had more epiphanies: first, they would have let my mother bleed out and die in 1950 and probably would have set the cops on her after her stillbirth in 1952, and second, their motto might as well be (excuse me for screaming) “Die You Worthless Bitches! Just Die! “

Pass the word along: This isn’t 1950 Redux. This is more like 1850 or 1750.

[Irish_Dem]

4. I stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt quite some time ago.

But yes more confirmation.

These are corrupt political hacks.

And they are so lazy. They cannot even come up with plausible lies to justify their corruption.
They are so bad, they couldn't even handle traffic court.

[senseandsensibility]

6. The laziness

is just insulting at this point.

[Irish_Dem]

7. It shows how little they care about what the public thinks of them.

They insult our intelligence.

But they don't care, they have permanent jobs, good salary and benefits, perks.

They can do whatever the hell they want to do and know it.

Take as many bribes from the billionaires who bribe them as they want.

No one can touch them.

[calimary]

22. Unfortunately, they don't have to care.

Get yourself put on the Supreme Court and you're set for life. Quite literally.

THAT'S what has to change.

[Earthrise]

8. I'm not sure how liberated I feel, though. More sick than liberated at the moment.

But I get her point. It’s better to stop hoping the court will do something based on democratic principles.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. I've had zero respect for this Subversive Court since Dobbs.

[LymphocyteLover]

11. I lost all respect for them after that horrible Dobbs decision

[ShazzieB]

13. Same here.

That was the tipping point for me.

I don't know who first called them the Sinister Six, but it fits perfectly, afaic.

[Ligyron]

12. We here lost respect long ago it's true.

I think she was trying to give permission to those viewers who might still have any doubts or qualms left to join the crowd.

[LT Barclay]

19. Agreed. If she's forgotten, I suggest she google the name "Scalia". But the SCOTUS had bigger blunders long before

him.

[onecaliberal]

14. Me too.

[brush]

15. It's becoming more and more obvious that the maga male justices are angling for...

an authoritative government. SC Smith asked the court to rule in December on the immunity question but they put off a hearing until today and who know when their ruling will be handed down...most likely so late that there won't be time for a trial before the election...thus they've given trump effective immunity, and if he wins the election, they will thus have given him and his authoritative government immunity and impunity to do anything it wants..."shoot someone of Fifth Avenue", have s Seal team assassinate a political enemy, thrown the rest of us Democrats in jail...whatever his little authoritative heart desires.

Dictatorship here we come.



To stop them, we have to do it by getting out our votes.

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. I lost respect after Dobb's

The misery they've caused women and girls is unforgivable.

[Bluethroughu]

17. I felt that way after the Insurectionist being able to stay on the ballot in States

That did not want him, because he is a CONVICTED AND UPHELD BY STATE SUPREME COURT, insurrectionist.

[KS Toronado]

18. After this next election when we control both Houses and the White House

We need to teach them a lesson that they can't treat people like shit and expect us to be nice to them in
return. Impeachment hearings for lying to Congress, new rules/laws for them.

[calimary]

23. And maybe expand the bench. ESPECIALLY after Biden secures a second term.

I bet he'd appoint some excellent new justices - to a 13-seat bench. As far as i understand it, there are 13 judicial districts in the U.S. Why couldn't we have 13 justices on the Supreme Court?

[KS Toronado]

26. I totally agree Mary, 13 makes more sense

so does getting rid of all the lying corrupt judges.

[oasis]

20. Bunch of bought off, sappy bastards.

[soldierant]

21. I still respect Elena, Sonia, and Ketanji

not that they are perfcct, but I think they are still trying.

[Turbineguy]

25. They don't have to be political hacks.

They have a lifetime appointment. They can tell trump to get stuffed.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

29. It's easier that way.

You don't have to think, or worry about right and wrong, or consider the consequences of your actions. Just put on your robe, look down on everybody, and free associate (unless you're Clarence Thomas, the man who sits like a rock), accept gifts and honoraria and lots of other goodies, collect your $280,000 salary, and know you'll never be fired. All you have to do is what the billionaires tell you to do...

...and look at yourself in the mirror.

[DET]

27. I Tried to Give Them the Benefit of the Doubt

But that ended today. It would have been inconceivable when I was younger to question the integrity of the court. They’re not even trying to hide the partisanship and corruption anymore. It’s kind of like finding out that Santa Claus isn’t real.

[Traildogbob]

28. Watching the NFL draft

To get away for a while. Half way through the first round, they were playing Lee Greenwood. Turned my stomach, but this was a set up for a US Military segment and a thank you to services members from the NFL commissioner. He said we appreciate your sacrifices for our Freedoms.
What fucking freedoms, and how will military service protect the freedoms being stolen from a totally corrupt faction of our own “government?
Starting to hate to even see this fucking flag anymore.
This is not why I served. God damned ashamed of this country.

[BlueKota]

30. I had no respect for the conservative justices from the get go.

Thomas should have never been confirmed after the Annita Hill revelations, then there was the Kavanaugh debacle, he, Goursh, and Barret lied about their accepting Roe as settled law. They are liars who cannot and should not be trusted period.

They couldn't decide a case over a fight between two first graders, if they had to. They'd grant the bully immunity.

[Skittles]

31. late to the party

I lost respect for the SC when they LITERALLY CHOSE DUBYA TO BE PRESIDENT.

[Unwind Your Mind]

32. This!
