Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Hey Roberts, I hope you're finally realizing that your boneheaded decision to give this guy immunity means you signed up to get knocked down. So let's see what you've got now, you ignoramus.

That ruling did say the courts decide what is an official duty, at least.

How's that "Rule of Law" working out for us?

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

I'll let you know when we finally have it.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, they think they, and the broader Federalist movement, can command the beast, so no one else should have any controls over it.

Wow, I hope Trump doesn't try to make a judicial reform for the election of judges because that would already be a sign of dictatorship.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 6 points 20 hours ago

Judges are already elected in many areas of the US, but for Federal judges, yeah, that would be a bad thing.

Schumer once they impeach ACB, "We need to replace her, and it's not an election year. Only having 8 judges would be far worse than having another psychopathic nazi. For these reasons I approve of Jenny Thomas for SCOTUS."

You don't have to make up situations that haven't happened to hate on someone. Just hate on what they've actually done.

I don't see how people are seeing that Roberts statement as a rejection of Trump. He didn't say Trump's name or call out anything specific Trump's done and he's demonstrated that he's perfectly capable of doing that

Roberts then issued a rare public rebuke, according to Fox News.

“This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,'” the statement said

“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort [blah blah blah]

Too little, too late

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

Just to be clear: Roberts can do nothing to deter Trump from impeaching that judge. But unless Schumer and his gang of invertebrates supports the Republicans, there aren't enough votes for a removal from office.
