Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

SCOTUS regularly ignores the Constitution and centuries of legal precedent to further their own blatantly partisan goals. They decide what result they want then fabricate absolute bullshit logic to support that result. They've undermined our elections and allowed the GQP to make voting much more difficult. In a country where no one is supposed to be above the law, they've made Trump a king with near absolute power.
Astounding that after years of trashing our laws and the Constitution to further his own partisan goals, Roberts has the fucking gall to whine about people "trashing the justices". This snowflake thinks personal insults are worse than his own systematic damaging of the country and our government.
Roberts and his SCOTUS ilk can fuck right off.
Another stanza for Martin Niemöller's quote:
"When they came for me, no one gave a shit because I gave them the tools to come after me" - Roberts.
Are we sure he's not just defending the hopelessly corrupt Clarence Thomas?
In response to a student’s question, he also said criticism of the Supreme Court is a good thing—“so long as it is not trashing the justices,”
Trash comes from the trash. So if you corrupt morons spit out trash we can only assume you are trash. And maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't have given sitting presidents immunity from prosecution.
Arrest the traitorous felon or shut the fuck up, nothing they say matters until this happens
SCROTUS opened a can of worms and now they find they can't do anything to put them back, lol
SCOTUS wants to have its cake and eat it too. Little fuckin late to be worried about being the rule of law when you've given immunity to a criminal and allow him to dismantle the very foundations of our constitution.
If you want people to actually believe in the court, maybe you should have abided by some sort of ethical framework.
I encourage all American citizens to ignore any law they deem to be unjust. It is your sovereign duty to ignore unjust laws. Civil disobedience against this administration is 100% justified. They'll call you a terrorist either way, so fuck what they say and ignore their rulings.
John Roberts should be made an example of. He made this situation and now is upset that people wanna pick on him personally. Well, tough shit.
They'll wait for congress to initiate. Congress won't.
A finger has been briskly wagged.
I read that as biggest sigh...
Cry me a river, John.
He was too busy letting billionaire assholes flood our elections with dark money, dismantling the administrative functions of government, overturning roe, and giving presidents immunity from the law. This piece of shit and the other Republican pieces of shit on the supreme Court should be remembered for what they are - a threat to our system.
I trash the judges all the time. I’d invite them over to discuss it but I take a maximalist view of the third amendment and worry I’d have to be a true soldier^1^ without permission if I got any sass from Alito or Thomas.
^1^ Courts have yet to rule on whether No Limit Soldiers count and I don’t want to start the case in the 5th Circuit.
