Conservatives are working together to normalize the language of sedition ahead of Trump's trails and the election.

They want us to stop paying attention to words like coup.

Every accusation like this is an admission of intent.

The way conservatives choose to use the word coup makes it clear that they don't know what that word means. Given their opposition to education, their lack of literacy is no surprise.

Man, the republicans really don’t like it when the shoe’s on the other foot, huh.

The Democrats should sue over this, you can't have a judge screaming "coup" every time they get outvoted. I'm sure a room full of judges can figure out what kind of law this is breaking, almost certainly there's some kind of "incitement" law on the books.

Reading through the reported exchange, it sounds like someone wants to be Queen Bee, but was taken down a peg or two.

Boo hoo.

When conservatives take control, this kind of takeover is expected. When Democrats take control and do this, all of a sudden it's an affront to justice and fair play. Fuck that. I hope the chief justice quits in disgust.

I believe they have failed to recognize the Stare Decisis standard and the implications of the long held decision in Elections v. Consequences.

Fuck them and their gaslighting asses.

I know you are but what am I?

"This is nothing short of an unprecedented coup. For 40 years, the role of the Chief Justice has been understood and respected."

Says that lady who literally stole the chief position from her predecessor by changing the rules with checks notes the majority rule she is now decrying.

The irony here is soooo delicious.

No one should respect this clown Ziegler. Obviously partisan and anti democratic hack.

And a bitch.

I hope people can admit that regardless of which political "side" judges are supporting, a judge allowing their political ideology to influence their decisions is a violation of their station. Judges are supposed to use their knowledge, expertise, and experience to rule on how our existing laws should be enforced, based on their original intent, sometimes in the context of circumstances their original authors didn't take into account. Obviously, the influence of one's political inclinations cannot be completely eliminated, but I feel like we've reached a point where judges—particularly those in our highest courts—are abusing their positions of power to advance their own political views. Sometimes, old laws do not make room for new circumstances, and new laws must be passed by legislative bodies instead of simply reinterpreting old laws for the convenience of modern times.

If our judges don't hold to these limitations and instead allow their political views to dictate their rulings, legal precedent ceases to have any meaning, and our laws will become nothing more than pendulums, the meaning of which will always depend on the justices in power at the time. This is not what the founders of our government intended and is no basis for a stable legal system regardless of their intent. This has to stop. If it continues, our legal system is steadily going to lose more and more credibility, and that is a surefire road to the disintegration of society into anarchy and war. This is exactly what our national enemies want.

Parliamentary style rules for courts were always ridiculous and weakened trust in the judicial system, but they were ridiculous when she was elected chief justice in the first fucking place.
