Trump Hammers Supreme Court After It Rules Against Him: ‘Dangerous Day for America!’
Trump Hammers Supreme Court After It Rules Against Him: ‘Dangerous Day for America!’
Trump went off on the U.S. Supreme Court after it prevented him from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite the deportations of Venezuelans being detained in Texas.
He always conflates the US and himself. He’s saying he is in danger if he doesn’t get what he wants.
Or possibly the US is in danger if he doesn't get what he wants. Because he will make sure of it. Continue... to make sure of it...
Purposely so
Poo Tin's playbook. The russkies trained him well.
I wonder how many more unfavorable rullings the court has to make before trump starts demanding they be arrested.
Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

He just threatened to send his brown shirts after them
As always, Thomas and Alito have to demonstrate what pieces of crap they are.
And their dissent is utter nonsense. It entirely hinges on the fact the petitioners didn’t wait long enough for an injunction from the District Court before their appeal the Circuit Court, claiming there is no evidence that they were in imminent danger of removal. People have been getting kidnapped and shipped off in a matter of days and these absolute chucklefucks are trying to pretend this is business as usual. Fucking Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence that they needed immediate relief!
Thomas and Alito start with the ruling they want, then backfill some justification for it.
As expected. The attacks against the courts will only increase.
Wait... pro-Trump SCOTUS voted aggainst POTUS? Weird... weird...
Let’s see how quickly they fold.
That'll be lunch on monday
Go watch Season one of the Handmaids Tale. Suspending the constitution, etc.
It's happening, isn't it?
Yes, I was there a month into this 2nd term of Trump. Canadian Margaret Atwood must be in horrors her writing is coming to life.
She posted on twitter a number times that "handmaids tale was not meant to be an instruction manual"
She gave up eventually. She does actively speak out against fascism theocracies and Trump, but at her age I can understand being worn out fighting it
The presidents a criminal. Can't we just send him away without due process? Oh wait, he's got money. Its easy to be a criminal when you have access to cash. I forgot
Send away. Yeah. Send away. Just fucking send it.
Bet he's going to expand the court and nominate 5 new judges.
It's all a circus to make them both look like they are doing what they are supposed to. So they can steal from you without you paying attention.
Yup!
I wonder if the chief justice will keep hanging his flag upside down and blaming his wife.....
I think that was Alito, not Roberts.
VERGONA!
Is this in Spanish? This means she has a big cock. Seems correct but just checking.
Bet you a buffalo nickel that before the end of his tenure, he's going to expand the court with ultra-loyalists, all but completely open about how they will ignore the law or always interpret it in the way that gives Trump what he wants.
Can someone ELI5 ? I thought Trump had the supreme court in his pocket, having appointed a majority of its members?
Trump appointed three out of nine justices. Three more were appointed by Republicans (Bush 1 and Bush 2), so a 2/3 majority of justices are considered conservative.
Judicial conservatism, however does not always align with political conservatism. Judicial conservatism tends to mean staying close to the original meaning of the text of the law. Some of Trump's actions require creative interpretations of the law; in the case at hand, Trump wants to use a law meant to expel citizens of an enemy country during a war to deport immigrants he accuses of being members of gangs without allowing them to challenge that action in court.
Thomas and Alito dissented, arguing that a creative interpretation of the law should be allowed here; neither is a Trump appointee.
The supreme court is particularly difficult to actually control. Each has their own beliefs and they're appointed for life. Thomas for example is fully on board with maga and will take bribes. But kavenaugh is pretty far right but generally seems to believe in the constitution in some form and wants the courts to keep power. Barrett is extremely right wing but is catholic before maga and it seems they're learning that the hard way recently.
This should have been 9-0. We're seeing a lot of 7-2 against Trump right now because he's blatantly violating the constitution. And the court to a certain degree trusts that when they say no, they have enough understanding with the military that when everything is said and done the military will want to have done what the court says as it's the legitimate governing body acting in accordance with the rules.
Barrett is an interesting one. She was there to provide a woman's voice against abortion. That job is done now. She was expected to line up with everything else in MAGA, but she's slowly realizing what a hell hole that is. Like Serena Waterford discovering that this isn't the world she wanted after all.
Its for the press, they're trying to show a sense of control but they'll fold shortly
