Is there no precedent this court will not depart from? We can't have individual states throwing Trump off the ballot because that would be “chaos” but we can have individual states creating and enforcing their own immigration policies as if they were separate countries? How on earth can the court justify this?

Don’t let any more Republican Presidents get elected. We can’t have any more right wingers on our courts.

The reason you know Joe Biden isn’t an authoritarian is because you can say “Joe Biden is an authoritarian” (clearly incorrectly) and nothing will happen to you.

Looks like that WaPo cancelation was a good call.

@TonyStark There’s no way something like this should be given column inches anywhere let alone a media outlet in such wide distribution.

This is where the major media is headed, though. Time to promote the good alternatives and create more of them.

Nobody loves shutting out Black voters more than Republicans on the “Supreme” Court.

Joe Biden or Donald Trump will pick the next SCOTUS justice. It’s highly unlikely that there won’t be another opening or two before 2029, assuming the country would survive Trump.

I’d prefer Biden or Kamala Harris pick the next justices. If you care about voting rights or any other rights, you should, too.

House Republicans have embraced one job - create enough chaos and dysfunction to erode trust in institutions so can try and justify removing them altogether in favor of something suspiciously more like authoritarianism. They have one job and they are doing it just like their wealthy owners instructed.

The point here is Trump doesn’t want any trial, not even a trial a year from now. The request is for an indefinite delay not time needed to prepare a defense. He knows his only escape is to regain the presidency and forestall prosecution.

One true believer with a degree in zoology is behind many of the legislative and courtroom efforts to push forward homeschooling today. The ideology that drives him is conservative right-wing Christianity and he is determined to break our public schools.

@shekinahcancook @jmb @MJ For the most part, and especially with this situation, it’s obviously a ploy by the right to decimate public schools. The man the article is about is a white Christian supremacist.

What would be best is to have excellent public schools where everyone is safe. That’s the best goal.
