Not a minute too soon.
But, for another shameful day for he SCOTUS, they dropped mandates that would have made it harder for industries to pollute and emit CC gases. It is not the SCOTUS anymore; it is the SCOCUS (Supreme Court of Corporate United States).

I was on the fence about expanding the SC but now that they've made it clear that they want to send us back to the 1860's I don't see any other way of stopping them.



Stare decisis is the doctrine that courts will adhere to precedent in making their decisions. Stare decisis means “to stand by things decided” in Latin.

Kagan and Sotomayor seem far more intellectually able than the rest of the court.

It is the reason I don't think Supreme Courts should have legal professionals in them. SC's should be filled with philosophers, logicians, humanists, people trained to find the truth, not people trained to win an argument. As you say, Sotomayor seems more intellectually focused on doing what it right.
Of course, the 6 conservative judges are simply following an agenda: turn the clock back to 1910.

Bill Maher has said, repeatedly, that the GOP plays the long game. These (expletive) are like the Illuminati.

Next step will be to start filling the STATE Supreme Courts with more religious nuts. One generation of that, and you become a theocracy.

And if so, why did he side with the other 5 GOP justices?
I mean, there is BS. But this is to the max.

I'm Casablanca shocked.

To all my followers who ask me whether this gross dereliction of duty by the FBI can be invoked to unseat Justice Kavanaugh and thus create a Supreme Court vacancy for President Biden to fill, the answer is clearly no. But it does add strength to the argument for Court expansion.

The USA is no longer a democracy.
When one entire party sees democratic process as OPTIONAL, you can't claim to be so.
