  • 9 votes. 2 (maybe) recuse, leaving 7. 3 of those 7 appointed by Trump, another a swing voice but also the same one that apparently thought t had kingly immunity in a way that in the past most reasonable folks thought was un-American.

    I mean, better odds are better odds. But I’m not confident this isn’t a bought court already, recusal or not.

    I am about to read the article, I’ve not read it yet, my comment is based solely on the actors in this particular description.

    Edit:

    Vox’s Ian Millhiser reported Wednesday that “if the Supreme Court accepts an argument raised by a federal appeals court, which struck down the federal program, it would bring about one of the biggest judicial power grabs in American history, and hobble the government’s ability to do, well, pretty much anything.”

    Yup, so far, I’m of the same low confidence

    Edit2, I’ll try and stop after this, sorry:

    While “all six conservatives now sitting on the Supreme Court can credit Leo with helping to shepherd their confirmations,” the watchdog’s report states, the right-wing legal activist is “close personal friends” with Alito and Thomas.





  • It’s so frustrating that Camila doesn’t deserve any of this, but the person saying they wouldn’t change their decision and does deserve to see consequences will refuse to actually feel them.

    Like, I want her out, but how dare this asshole say he regrets nothing while asking others to bail him out for the thing he voted for and still wants more of? Why is a social safety net OK in this case to this guy, but not for anyone else?

    The detentions are a for-profit endeavor, the people are being treated inhumanely, and this is all some Nazi-level shit. I want all the allies that can be won away from the neofascists. I fucking hate this particular dude’s refusal to recognize the taste of boot leather though, even as it impacts his supposed loved ones. It’s maddening.

    Free Camila.
