Fatpacks either having the best day of his life or getting ready to rope himself depending on his actual intentions and feelings. (Fed or Reverse Oracle)

 

[Betonhaus]

Should there be a mechanism where if SCOTUS determines that the law is unambiguous that they refer the case to the government to amend the law?

 

[Mister Fister]

Calm down and breathe. The worst possible case is status quo, the best is what you want.

You're being way too rational right now, this is a perfect opportunity to throw your mind away.

 

[Fellen]

SCOTUSblog saying SCOTUS is handing its last opinions of the term tomorrow.

That's essentially what Roberts' tenure is. "IT'S NOT THE COURTS JOB TO BE LAWMAKERS AND KINGMAKERS!!!!!! THATS CONGRESS!"

Congress: I dun wanna. *Evil grin*

Roberts: WELL, SUCKS TO SUCK AMERICAN PEOPLE. GET FUCKED.

Except in his efforts to dodge and curtail responsibilities at every fucking turn, he's slowly driving himself into a legal corner where packing the Court is going to have to be inevitable because nobody is doing anything and Roberts' retarded and accountability dodging rulings are starting to run into each other.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

Republicans should absolutely pack the court right now to get Democrats on record that doing so is Nazi.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

I already had a preview with the MOU and that ended up mostly fine.

 

[WelperHelper99]

I despise them far more than the Democrats, they're Benedict Arnold's until the day the adrenochrome stops working and they drop dead.

They are traitors and deserve exile. Strip them of citizenship and send them to Lesotho.

I can't take this shit no more man.

Or better yet shrink the court and pick who to boot out.

 

[mingo mongo]

Some good news: we’re on pace to surpass 2025 deportations within the next 6 weeks.

@Tread Miller will force them to read the SplatSource thread until they DIE

 

[Potion_Time]

Not what I said. What I said implies they will find alternative reasoning until they can no longer do so.

Or...they could just change the law instead of continuing to make up bullshit to put in front of SCOTUS. Hell, Trump could create an entirely new legal theory of the law but it wouldn't even make it to SCOTUS before the midterms. And at that point, changing the law becomes impossible.

Bold of you to assume anyone in politics right now gives a fuck about anything more than 48 hours old. They're all like goldfish at this point.

There should be a mechanism where if SCOTUS declares that the law is ambiguous in relation to a court case, they can refer to the court case to the government where the government is forced to vote on a ruling or revise the law within a specified timeframe.

 

[The Ugly One]

I want all gun laws undone then, not only fed but all states.

SCOTUS 2a jurisprudence is based on pretending to be retarded. "The right to X shall not be infringed, since Z is necessary," obviously does not mean, "The right to X can be infringed in any way that we deem unnecessary for Z, also we can restrict Z as much as we want," and you'd have to be retarded to think it does. But liberals like to pretend they think it means that, but only for the 2a.

 

[Fellen]

Just so people are aware, there are four opinions left to decide on. The Supreme Court likes to keep balanced who authors the majority opinion. Based on today's ruling, Roberts has done eight, Alito, Goursuch, Barrett, and Kagan each have seven.

Sotomayor, Jackson, Kavanaugh, and Thomas have six, so that means the authors of the last opinions are very likely going to be these four. The four opinions left are:

Trump v. Barbara: Birthright citizenship
National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission: Election funding case
Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J.: Trans women competing with women ban

Make of that what you will. The cope would be Thomas is writing the Birthright one, and Kavanaugh and a liberal justice contradicting, and then the last liberal ruling against the NRSC.

I have corrected your post with a tasteful and minimalist crossout. There is no need to thank me; I just find parsimony important.

 

[TrinityReformed]

Does it seem like I am kidding? I'm not.

The arc of the universe points to Fatpacks getting a meaty, juicy W on this one. Everybody who pointed to ACB being a nigger adoptee being disqualifying is going to look like a genius.

I have still not shopped for Schrodinger's burger suit if I am wrong, because I know I am not.

You're doing the thing where you doom so hard that you hope that it would tempt the universe to prove otherwise. I know, cause I do the same in life.

Trump v. Barbara: Birthright citizenship

Kagan or Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh is the more likely author given that SCOTUS will want this to appear as a conservative decision despite it essentially designating the US as a economic zone in perpetuity with no reasonable laws or restrictions regarding immigration.

National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission: Election funding case

Jackson

Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J.: Trans women competing with women ban

Thomas

Jackson won’t get any since they hate her.

Troons: Kavanaugh
Election funding: Sotomayor
Birthright citizenship: Thomas (god willing)
