Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.

Example:
- 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.

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.
- 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.

MODERATORS
There is one question every single Democratic lawmaker needs to be asked:
"What should Democrats do with the newly expanded powers of the presidency?"
If they cannot answer that question, they need to be primaried, as they are not fit for this moment.
The dissent doesn't "reveal concerns." Justices Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor have been very vocal about these issues for months, since last summer at least. I wish the news would stop with this limpdick rhetoric. We are in a fucking crisis, act like it
I genuinely feel bad for Justice Jackson. She is competent and thoughtful, and appears to appreciate how consequential the Supreme Court can be. She was an actual successful lawyer. I think she went into this expecting to make a difference, and, instead, we have the Roberts Court.
Feels a lot like being assigned to your bully for a class project. They're not only gonna make you do all the work, they're gonna make you feel like shit while doing it.

This is exactly what democracy feels like every time.
I can't tell if the majority expects there to never be another democrat president or if they just haven't thought that far ahead. It probably varies from one to the next.
They know the Democrats are on the same side as them. This isn't a party war. It's a class war.
There will be another lawsuit and they will change the precedent.
just like the last one, the next D president will likely be in large part toothless
Oh silly, these expanded rules are only for Repugnican presidents.
The U.S. is disintegrating in real time. Decisions are pushing the states even further apart. Hard to see how the union survives another 10 years.
reveal concerns that the US faces a crisis
I'm so tired of these half baked headlines.
The US has been in a crisis for A FUCKING DECADE at this point.
Can we just skip all of this? We know what the republicans want. There’s no compromise anymore. The feckless Democrats have done nothing but capitulate. It’s never enough. It will never be enough. So why the fuck are we still pretending? What are we doing here?
“Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from law abiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship.”
Sure feels like that's the point, lady
Glad they could get caught up with the rest of us
Dear left SCOTUS Justices,
As 3/9ths of 1/3 of the federal government of The United States of America, please stop fucking around.
Sincerely,
Everybody
