they're probably afraid of looking like they're siding with Trump. They were Trump's picks but they want to make it clear they are not Trump stooges.I'm still stuck on how worthless Kavanaugh and ACB ended up being; you know they're never going to have the guts to tell the establishment "no" when it really matters, and we're stuck with these disingenuous cowards until they finally kick the bucket. We've basically lost the Supreme Court for an entire generation at least.
Which essentially makes them politicians, NOT judges.they're probably afraid of looking like they're siding with Trump. They were Trump's picks but they want to make it clear they are not Trump stooges.
It's political.
Weak spined fucking cowards, those two.
This doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with Trump. The state violated the law. It doesn't even matter who the candidates were.
Which essentially makes them politicians, NOT judges.
I wanna point out, deciding not to hear the case could well be a good thing. The Supreme Court has to be really, really careful about what they decide to rule on because once they do, it's a precedent that will apply to every other court in the world and a nightmare to ever change and nobody wants another Dredscott. One of the best things the court can do sometimes is kick the can down the road and let time reveal more facts before being forced to make such a binding decision.
Its gonna be a bad day when he kicks it. I like Alito but he tends to be a team player too often. Thomas has been the only legitimately constitutionalist judge on the bench in a long time and we've all learned how hard it is to even get even milquetoast Republicans in.Go Thomas for trying his hardest
We're out of boxes and I'm beginning to think that's the plan. The demand for "white supremacist" violence currently far outstrips its supply.Not hearing and then making a decision is likely to be seen as the 'Dred Scott' of the 21st century.
Because at this point, what legal recourse do those disenfranchised by the 2020 election fraud have to turn to?
And when there is no legal recourse left, what can be done?
They're courting violence because they want to use it as an excuse to become even more authoritarian, but doing so also erodes the illusion of their legitimacy. Eventually, it's going to escalate beyond their ability to control, and that's when the civil war will begin in earnest. Unfortunately, said war will likely be fought amongst the plebs exclusively; between those who have been brainwashed by the establishment, and those who haven't. Even if the latter manages to win, most of the patricians will have long since fled the country by that point; either to simply escape justice, or to try and rally support for sanctions against a newly-liberated United States.We're out of boxes and I'm beginning to think that's the plan.

One can only pray they will be hunted down if that ever comes to pass.Even if the latter manages to win, most of the patricians will have long since fled the country by that point; either to simply escape justice, or to try and rally support for sanctions against a newly-liberated United States.
In the end, we will be left ravaged by internal strife, isolated from and derided by much of the world, and most of those personally responsible will live out the rest of their lives in comfort beyond our reach; and that's one of the better-case scenarios. That said; in the long term, we'll probably be far better off than we would be if we don't fight back and win.
I don't understand? The claim is that the left wants white supremacists to act up so that they can then point their fingers at the right, and lump them in with white supremacists, and that there aren't enough white supremacists for this to work.Hi all, we mods understand the frustration over the recent SCOTUS decisions. They're beyond frustrating. That said, can we please not have comments like "The demand for 'white supremacist' violence currently far outstrips its supply?" It's not helping. Things are crazy enough as it is and we as a community do not need to contribute to it.
I don't understand? The claim is that the left wants white supremacists to act up so that they can then point their finger at the white supremacists problem, and that there aren't enough white supremacists for this to work.
Not to argue with a mod, but can you please clarify why this is an issue?
No, I don't think you're understanding it. It's not a call for violence.It's optics and there's enough calls to violence these days. We don't need this, and we are asking nicely for people to throttle it back a bit. I get it. We're pissed. But calling for people's heads on a pike right now is counter-productive.
No, I don't think you're understanding it. It's not a call for violence.
It's saying that the left wants white supremacists to act out so they can exploit it, bit that there aren't enough white supremacists for it to work.
This isn't a call to violence at all. It's pointing out that the left WANTS the right to be violent and racist.
I didn't post it, I just interpreted it differently than you.Again, I get it. I'm not being bootish. Far from it. Just saying cool the tempers, you might want to clarify the points, as I read it to mean as a call myself. That said, I do accept your explanation.
I was not calling for "heads on pikes", I expressed hope that those with vile deeds don't escape the consequences of their own actions.Edit: @Urabrask Revealed Definitely goes over the line though, I just saw that
