    That was never true until the 1980’s.

    What was when the Federalist Society was created.

    It’s stated intention was to be a hyper partisan organization dedicated to turning back the clock and protecting the corporate interests (and oil men) that financed it,

    It was always flagrantly political. And encouraged the extreme right wing politics of its sponsored rising stars.

    Once upon a time, the only organization that weighed in on courts was the American Bar Association, which was, and is still, scrupulously neutral.

    But the new right thought politicizing everything and sowing division was their ticket to success.

    And yet? What does that mean?

    You’re singing Putin’s song (don’t even try to deny it). Your fuhrer ordered you to support the Russian autocrat and his invasion.

    And so you do. You have no other basis for doing it. Trump told you to, and the bobble heads bobbed.

    And you get no credit for still trying to hide behind Putin’s self serving pretense of supporting Biden when he owns Trump. (Which is why Trump has you parroting his bidding).

    Until Putin is shoved back across his own border, I will continue to “regurgitate” Putin over and over again.

    He’s your hero, not mine.

    Trump disgraced himself by publicly supporting the Russian invasion.

    And now, on cue, Trump nation disgraces itself again by cheering for invasion and carnage.

    No one in the right wing circle jerk will admit that they support insurrection, and the man on whose behalf it was conducted.

    Too bad.

    Because it’s going to be shoved down Trump nation’s collective throats for the rest of the year, and probably for the rest of their lives.

    It's too bad in such a Great country as ours a large segment of today's American society prefers liars, deceivers, and crooks for their leaders.

    Trump doesn't have the character to be President

    Good god take a look around, both parties are run by liars, deceivers, and crooks. Look at your lefty politicians, how can they come from lesser means and somehow rich now off 180k salary? Look at ole brain dead, never worked a real job in his life and somehow stupid rich with beach houses. Things that make you go hmmm. I'll take a person that's made his worth in the free market over a career politician any day of the week.

    Good question. Probably because those in the SC have been appointed by Trump and now they feel a loyalty to him (out of obligation). Which really means they are no longer an objective and fair entity. They have been Trumpized. It also means he is gradually getting more and more CONTROL over the entities that matter and are useful to him as he plans a more authoritarian like system. It would be gradual at fist so folks would just adjust to it gradually... and won't realize what he has done until too late.

    Well, they are no longer using the textualist reasoning, they are bending to politics and not surprisingly, The Federalist Society has politicized SCOTUS.

    Anyone notice the universities are getting rid of DEI and reinstituting the SAT and entrance exams? Why? The leftists really screwed the pooch. Not only did they manage to screw everything up, but they did not stand by Israel and nearly all of their young people of color are pro Hamas. Immigration from certain parts of the world is about to come to a screeching halt. Trump will be brought back if anything to secure the border and take the heat for supporting Israel unconditionally. Jews used to be 90% Democrat... Not anymore! George Soros may even be having a change of heart now. The biggest supporters of Israel today is white Christians.

    Those are now their "values". They have given up the values they had for Trump"values". Cheating , lying, suing, suing some more, name calling, degrading, being offensive. bragging ad Infinium. exaggerating etc. ie NO moral or ethical principles. No integrity. No sense of true honor and humility. No compassion.
    All that matters is POWER and GREED for more money and power. Oh and totally narcissistic conduct......

    In his followers minds: It is his RIGHT to be a liar, chat , and all the other qualities mentioned above. Does not matter if his conduct is actually right for a potential leader. The evidence of his behavior is in front of everyone to see. The problem is that those in Trump Bubble believe only what trump tells them......(and what he says borders on being moronic and /or irrational )

    Indeed. It seems there is no-one 'at the top' in the US with relevant integrity suggesting the only way they got there was questionable. There is always a skeleton in the closet.

    I know I'm flogging a dead horse, but your Constitution, the whole system, is fertile ground for pricks to flourish.

    • Gorsuch and Justice Clarence Thomas in particular have urged that the longstanding right to challenge st ate court convictions in federal court be effectively gutted”


    Opinion with no substantiation..... When you see such emotional appeal unsupported by facts, you know you can quit wasting your time reading the rest of it and considering that it might be actually serious.

    Your arguments are a complete non-sequitur to Trump's case. The court should decide Trump's case on the merits and have no connection with how they decided case XYZ.

    Simply put...apples and donuts analogy. Trump has not been convicted in anything that is related to the immunity that is being talked about, whereas those on death row have already been convicted. Which brings me to the next point...the part in red...No Such Thing Is Being Claimed.

    Thats not really True. Trump is claiming absolute immunity. Thats why when asked ”could you use seal team 6 to assassinate a political rival”, Trumps lawyers said “yes”. They said he could only be proscuted if he was impeached and removed from office. They believe this is a political offense, not a criminal offense

    What do you mean “assume”. Its a documented fact that he tried it.

    WOW. You’re deep in Trumplanida.

    Obama never gave Iran $150B in cash. Cursory research would show you that the US unfroze some Iranian assetts in the United States and other NATO countries agreed, which the sum total was $150B in ALL countries, but no “cash” was given.

    You should listen to Mayorkis testimony. They need help, and Joe cant just hire more agents, because congress has to give them the funds needed to do that (following the law). Which they wont do because Republicans blocked that funding, becasue the Orange- told them it was a better political move for the republicans

    SCOTUS weighed in because they are a majority conservative court. But as I have said, I dont think it’s a good idea to invoke the 14th amendment until their is adjudication first.

    Next time you go to the bank, and ask for a mortgage loan, and you verifiably lie on your application about the values of anything you use as collateral, see what they do to you….oh yeah, you go to jail. Mortgage fraud is prosecuted as wire fraud, real estate fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud and money laundering, and you may face a maximum of 30 years in prison and up to a $1 million fine.

    What were her lies about ? We’re they directly related to the case against Trump?

    But thats NOTHING compared to what McConnell did with the Supreme court. YES both of them are wrong, but neither side gets the high ground on that one

    AGREE 1000%

    SCOTUS took this up on the shaky premise that their first needs to a law that must be broken, before the “right” in the constitution can be invoked.

    SCOTUS basically said, “there was no law broken to invoke the constitution”.

    Talk about rambling. Why do Democrats hate democracy so much? Why do Democrats want government institutions to decide elections and not the people?
