    Old nazi is angry the law is obeyed and respected over his desire to punish non-white people like they should be.

      I’d rather is was quickly and painfully. But not too quickly. I’d hate for Trump to just replace him with another sycophant.

    Justice Samuel Alito has slammed the Supreme Court for acting “literally in the middle of the night”

    Which is an appropriate response when the Trump administration also illegally deports immigrants in the middle of the night.

      Yeah, the court rushed their decision specifically because they expected Alito to drag his feet and stall as long as possible. Alito was going to stall through the Easter weekend, which would give the jackboots time to rush the deportations. And the court has learned that Trump is using the deportations as a way to circumvent the law; If the deportees out of the ICE’s hands, then ICE can just shrug and go “talk to Venezuela about it” when ordered to give the deportees due process. So the SCOTUS 100% expected a massive surge of deportations over the weekend while Alito was stalling with writing his dissent.

      In emergency orders, the justices don’t even need to say which way they voted. But Alito did anyways, specifically because he expected them to wait for his dissent before they announced the ruling. The fact that they didn’t wait (and Alito had to hurriedly shove the first draft of his dissent in) means that all seven justices who pushed it through were tired of putting up with his shit. To be clear, the rush was a giant “fuck you. We see what you’re doing; you’re not slick” to Alito specifically.

        I’m rooting for a reckoning. Where each of them gets to explain their actions on trial before being the last victims of the concentration camps they’re building.

        I’m rooting for that, but after the end of the trump admin. I really hate that Trump is likely getting 2 more SC justices.

          Yeah, RBG really screwed the pooch when she refused to step down after Obama started his second term. He asked at the beginning of his second term, so he would have plenty of time to get a new justice appointed. But she wanted to have the distinction of serving under the first female president, so she refused to step down. And instead, Hillary lost, we got Trump’s first term, then RBG fucking kicked it.

          It’s honestly a gigantic stain on her legacy, because her pride had her shitting in the pool right before she got out.

          If we don’t take these nazis out by the roots they’ll have all 9 soon enough. The liberal justices aren’t that young and the conservatives keep on doing whatever they feel in the moment logic be damned. Sure they’re against this right now but they also gave him sweeping immunity. I don’t trust any of the conservatives to stand against the emperor they’ve created for any real length of time.

          So many different things need to happen for the country to get somewhere half decent much less actually good. The modern Republicans and “moderate” democrats are symptomatic of much greater issues.

    He didn’t at all slam anything. He came up with a weak defense that had nothing. He had 24 hours to do it, and he knows how to do a defense. This was show, nothing more

      Alito doesn’t write defenses or arguments. He writes justifications for the outcomes that his neo-pharisee dominionist buddies would most prefer.

        It drives me nuts so I’ve been commenting slam on every post I happen to come across, its like 4-5 per day. I’m trying to spread awareness of slam fatigue. On the bright side I saw the word “blasts” used today which I don’t actually mind! its a bit more interesting. Theres just something about the word slam and how often its used that grinds my gears I can’t explain it! I wish they’d be more creative like “throws a haymaker!” or “RKO’d” or “falcon punches”.

    Why would anyone need due process? Might as well shut down judicial system and just start hanging folks or put them up on the wall handmaid style.

      I’m ready for one of our reps to drop The DDT in the main House chamber. Slams are so Bruno Sammartino.
