    YUP. Guaranteed they will. They’ve warned these assclowns to stop fucking with the judiciary, and they’re now signalling they’ll be proactively ruling on things like this.

        Idk Thomas has been saying some shit recently that makes it seem like he might be getting tired of Trump’s shit.

        Would be hilarious if Trump and Co try to defang the Supreme Court and they just decide to strike down Executive Orders as broadly unconstitutional for anything beyond directing basic executive branch actions, because they are not laws.

        This one might be 9-0. Can’t get a free bus or private jet flights if you’re not important.

          Not voting this down means it would be their last ever check. They’d be voting themselves into irrelevance. Greedy people aren’t likely to do that

            Look at the quality of character on the court. Compromised. Alcoholics. The kind of people you can get leverage on.

      The issue is more: will it matter at all?

      Genuinely serious. Jackson is Trump’s favorite President for a reason: he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him, neither Congress nor the SCOTUS can actually do anything about a President acting in contravention of a court order. If the SCOTUS says “this bill is unconstitutional​”, will it stop anyone from actually acting like it’s in force?

        Well good news, he’s not actually that popular. I’m baffled that he’s still got an aggregate 47% approval rating, but even faux news’ poll has him down to 44% and he was only above 50% in poling for less than a 2 weeks after he came into office.

        And that’s all before the most recent news about the medicare/medicaid slashing. And ahead of the coming wave of layoffs due to the economy slowing down. The policies he’s trying to enact are going to (slowly) erode what support he still has as his base realizes just how fucked they are.
