to change some of the rules around the court you need an amendment because they’re in the constitution (lifetime appointments, for instance.)

The 11th amendment was explicitly also added to overturn a supreme court ruling, so historically passing an amendment was not always a problem and if its a problem now maybe some effort should be placed into fixing the difficulty problem as well.

it will happen easily if biden wins. If the court majority becomes 5-4 liberal republicans will absolutely hop on board. Thats why dems should also float an electoral college reform and an amendment to ban gerrymandering. Even a ban on courts creating “immunity rules” should be floated since immunity is something that shouldn’t be handed out as often as the supreme court does it.

The amendment process is long and difficult and honestly being just willing to go through the extra steps makes good headlines.

this is a gimme. You show you’re willing to pass laws to reign them in.

no he meant hung: swinging around a huge trouser hog

200 million is a pittance today. Vaccines are generally more effective than pills outside of antibiotics. But more importantly the USDA should be requiring more animal vaccinations and there should be more investment in vaccinating livestock if we’re going to continue to eat mammals and birds

I do think the funniest outcome of this is that the president could refuse to pay thomas and alito on the grounds “they’ve already been compensated” and we might even enter a situation where alito and thomas try to rule on their own case, further humiliating them

Correct opinion is correct

10 to 15 yrs later: “Line no longer go up! We need bailout!, if no bailout, line go down and politicians fired!”

Magical thinking. This man needs to be given a fucking medal for his stupidity

“Donald Trump shielded from child molestation charges by supreme court under presidential acts doctrine”

“Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas notes that presidential child molestation is a time honored american tradition starting with Thomas Jefferson”

Its stupid but its the only culture america has except fucking chickens.

pretty sure they could just pull the number of open tabs

The difference is US culture is bland and stupid. Its con artists, police and shitty corporate bullshit. In fact the last time the US lost a major cultural element it was slavery. I think its about time ditch some more bullshit. The con artists need to be tried for fraud, the police need to be disarmed, the supreme court dismantled and the corporations razed.

Where do you get your news, champ?

House price inflation has slowed since biden came into office. The NLRB is much improved. The FCC is trying to bring back net neutrality. Theres been half a dozen uses of antitrust laws to keep corporations from consolidating so they can fire workers and jack up prices for consumers. Marijuana is being reduced in schedule such that it can be used medically.

I would say that Biden has - to any working person who is even half paying attention - been one of the best presidents for average people in the last 50 years. Its a low bar but credit where its due.

slay the spire has a mobile port

more likely the prosecutors were on epstein island

Didn’t stormy daniels say she feared she would be killed as well?

They already are treating him like a martyr. It would just be follow through at this point

the ruling is basically “the courts get to decide what an ‘official act’ is and that ‘official acts’ can’t be used in court, eg courts get to decide without jury nor law what is legal or illegal for the president to do and open the door of barring whatever evidence they please from lower courts” aka, they created a loophole in the constitution the size of an ICBM that the courts can drive whatever they want through.
