Sotomayor accuses Supreme Court of bias in favor of Trump administration

I'd have to say that Sonia was incredible naive to think that the Trump appointees to the Court were ever anything more than political stooges, Trump didn't put them there for any other reason but to cover Trump's ass, even Roberts had reservations about beer ball Bret being on the Court

 

There is much more diversity with Trump's appointments.

Both Sotomayor and Ginsberg are well known for ruling left pretty much entirely.

At least Kagan will sometimes play ball.

 

eh could be worse
in belgium the green party tryd to put a judge on the constitutional court last year here that didnt even study law and was a known activist for more migration.
no law degree no experience and she almost had it, atleast your judges know the law more or less ^^

 

So she wants to keep this power grab the lower courts have been engaged in?

 

Kinda like we did through Ellis Island?

 

Don’t know if we checked bank accounts at that time. But it was legal at least. It was also a VERY different time. No welfare. No freebees. And a massive need for labor and able bodied workers. But NOT NOW!!!! We don’t need labor. We’ve got it. We don’t need the tired or the poor. We’ve got way too much of that already. We certainly don’t need the masses

We only need people with money who can work and want to invest. We need to know who you are. We should be able to look you up and inquire about you from your country and they should be able to tell us nearly anything we want to know. If your country has no record of you and you can’t provide any proof you are who you are...take a hike. Plenty of 3rd world nations with more like you. We don’t require it now. We only require excellence and we should t accept anything less. Like a business. You don’t hire the bottom of the barrel. You try to get the cream of the crop. And why wouldn’t you want a person like that working for you? Or do you hire the person with mental problems who can’t even get to work because they have no transportation and can’t communicate with anyone else on the team?

 

If the Supreme Court is a barrier to the political reconfiguration of the Union, then the Union has failed and our citizenry means moot. For our political decisions must be, in your view vetted by the Court and approved by the Court. What you mean by "existing government" are policies that you would like to see enforced by the Democratic Majority, but now that the Democratic Majority doesn't exist, you want the Court to do what the Democratic Party currently cannot.

This is untenable, unacceptable and I have no choice but to be opposed to rule by fiat of the Court to substitute the political will of the people.

 

At most times I believe Justices of the Supreme Court deserve respect, but this is ridiculous! She is ridiculous!

 

Why do you feel the Immigration and Nationality Act is unconstitutional and is it possible that the justices believe the act is constitutional and are not just doing what they're told?

 

The Citizen's United decision wasn't "leaning toward the Constitution." Giving corporations the same rights as individuals is contrary to law & to common sense. The SCOTUS always reflects the political majority of the Justices sitting on it. That's why McConnell is so determined to pack the court with his extremist right wing conservatives--even if it means he has to abuse the Constitution in the process.

 

Trump is de-legitimizing the free press by lying to the people that the press can no longer be trusted. Trump is weakening our Constitutional government by refusing to replace vacancies with new workers or managers, & forcing lower grade workers to try filling in the gaps. Trump has succeeded in converting our Dept of Justice from one that worked as guardian of the laws from a politically neutral position, into a highly partisan arm of Trump's personal legal squad. Trump has converted the Dept of Education from one strongly supporting public education for all, into one that focuses all its power & energy onto serving private schools for our wealthiest families instead. Trump has turned the Environmental Protection Agency into a public joke, by ignoring Global Warming & denying government funds to scientists interested in studying the issue further, & even rejecting the right of government scientists to discuss the issue openly. Trump bragged during the 2016 campaign how he "loved uneducated voters." As President, he's working hard to create as many more of them as he can. Nothing Trump does moves any of us toward "making America great again."

 

I've never read that act, so can't respond to your question precisely. But my America was one that trended toward standing up for human rights around the world, even when we didn't always live up to those same standards ourselves. At least it was a goal. Under Trump, human rights have been stripped from the menu, & the impact of that action is showing up along our southern border, thru the way we are now treating people Republicans have welcomed with open arms for decades (as a source of cheap labor). I am a Democrat, & I support strong immigration laws, coupled with halting illegal immigrants. But I also support humane treatment of those people while they are in our care. Every case should be considered for its own merits, & evaluated separately for entry or rejection, based on legal, social, political, & other humane considerations. Rather than build more prisons for containment, we need to hire more judges & social workers & lawyers, to deal with the flood already here or coming, so they will be processed & moved forward with their lives & ours.

 

This is because liberals never see themselves as biased toward their own ideology.

 

This is true. Typically GOP picks are open minded, and diverse in their views, they don't fall in lock step like you see in leftist regimes and mindset.

 

The SCOTUS has become just another Rubber Stamp for the Trump Administrations Draconian Policies. you can back up that statement with hard facts right? Facts like what is written in laws.

 

Yeaaaa she should step down. One of the greatest things is an apolitical court system. When you have sitting SC Justices shooting their mouths off, that is a major a problem.

 

The MSM has brought this on itself-it was not just Trump to point out the bias.

He did introduce a new term, which everyone now uses-Fake news.

And its not a "free press" its a propaganda wing of the democrat party.

 

Suggest you look up US Code Chapter 1 Section 1.

A corporation is merely an assembly of people and those people do not give up their rights to petition government when they incorporate.

 

They checked to see if you had the means or a sponsor. They also checked your health and if you were sick offered you the Ellis Island hospital which you had to pay for or your sponsor pay for and if you could not you were put on the next boat back to your port of departure.

 

There is no "human right" to enter this country. We the citizens have every right to screen those who apply and decide who we will allow in or not. And if you enter illegally they do not have a right to some four star treatement they should be placed in holding cells and sent back across the border they crossed or if the have the money a bus ticket back to their home country.

 

I always think of this scene...

 

Well your words are those of an activist and not a constitutionalist. It is Congress job to create laws and not the courts job to determine cases based upon social and political considerations. Your words indicate you want a political court and not a court based upon the laws of our land.

 

The leftiest seem to think the courts are supposed to decide if it is a "good" law or a "bad" law.

 

But when Democrats dominate the SCOTUS, they do an outstanding job of interpreting the law, amirite?

 

Her own political stoogery for Obama should've tipped her off to how it works.
