The US Supreme Court and its decisions

[wonko the sane?]

I would doubt it: they're giving trump till october to file an appeal, that's plenty of time for his gaggle of criminals to come up with yet another excuse and continue.

They want to make living unnecessarily difficult and stressful. It was never about money, it was about making you all suffer enough that you can't keep up with the fascist take over.

Since I haven't seen it yet, here's the link to the full Supreme Court opinion granting the Government a stay of the lower Court's order, allowing the roving ICE raids to continue in LA.

The words "temporary" and "promptly" are doing a lot of work in this opinion.

If nothing else, this demonstrates that we must expand the Supreme Court. The tangerine anus has stacked the deck and has been allowed to act lawlessly because he's "owed". We have to remove the ability for a single administration to stock the court with sycophants.

There you go, assuming we're ever going to have the chance.

I had a thought just now. Even though the composition of the Court hasn't changed since Trump's previous term, we've seen them go from striking down his actions to rubber-stamping them. Do you think it's because January 6 made them afraid of violent retaliation?

 

[wonko the sane?]

Not just rubber stamping them: rubber stamping with unsigned opinions. So they KNOW it's wrong, and are doing it anyway.

Which is exactly what I would expect someone to do if they were motivated by terror. Writing a lot of words to justify a monstrous decision they already know is wrong is pretty common for the right, after all, but why bother if you know the people who have you at gunpoint don't bother to read stuff and get all their news from TV pundits who'll just make up the details anyway.

 

[KidTDragon]

You're assuming that "knows it's wrong" is the same as "disagrees with it".

Shadow docket strikes again.

SCOTUS majority says Trump can ignore precedent if the majority doesn't like it

This is no way to run a court, let alone a country.

They do this in this way so they can change their mind when a democrat is in office. Expand the ******* court.

 

[Pocket]

I say impeach them all and start over, so long as we're wishing for the impossible (a Democrat with actual balls ever becoming President again).

I think it's past time the judiciary stood up to the shadow docket. Refuse to follow the precedent set unless there is a signed majority order. Anonymous orders should not count. Put your ******* names on it, make it so it'll hold through all administrations or hug off.

Google has called Donato's order unprecedented, and said it would cause reputational harm, safety and security risks and put the company at a competitive disadvantage if allowed to take effect.

Right, because repeatedly allowing stright-up malware masquerading as more popular apps onto their own app store didn't do that already. Seriously, the only reason anyone uses Android is because the phones it runs on are cheaper.

 

[Ungnome]

My only issue with the ruling is it should affect Apple as well. Not really fair to say Google has to allow third party app stores, but not Apple. Granted, the precedent has been set, so all someone, in theory, would have to do is sue Apple to force them to open up as well. The EU has already forced them to do that in the EU market.

 

[Pocket]

Especially since Epic already took Apple to court over the exact same issues and Apple won. That speaks to a systemic bias against Google, and a bias from the Supreme Court in particular who refused to hear their appeal.

 

[Ironbite4]

You sure about that?

Depends on the bribes floating around. Maybe Clearance Thomas needs a new vacation.
