I'm shocked this didn't happen earlier.

I fully expected Trump would force out 1-2 #SCOTUS judges - even extremists like Alito - to put in his own preferred lackeys.

With midterms looking bad, I would not be surprised by a sudden rush to replace Alito (and probably Thomas)

Hospital visit fuels speculation about Samuel Alito’s future on supreme court

Veteran justice, 76, was treated for dehydration in March; a retirement would give Trump new chance to shape court

The Guardian

In yet another autocratic move, Trump plans to attend the #CorruptSCOTUS hearing on birthright citizenship *in person* today.

Like his plan to attend the Electoral Count on Jan 6, 2021 in person, it's intended to apply maximum pressure on his GOP lackeys.

We would never have a Trump second presidency without the #CorruptSCOTUS

- Citizens United
- destroying VRA
- tanking emoluments
- blocking CO from banning him on the ballot
- immunity

Every one a gift to authoritarianism

No matter how much #CorruptSCOTUS will destroy the Constitution for him?
It will never be enough

Of course they are. Restricting voting rights has been CJ Roberts's primary mission for decades.

Another reminder that the #CorruptSCOTUS is totally Team MAGA

Blocking a lower court ruling and screwing voters with another unsigned emergency docket.

But with the three liberal judges dissenting, we all know what happened here

In Republican Win, Supreme Court Retains G.O.P. District in New York

In an emergency ruling, the justices preserved the district of a Republican congresswoman, despite a lower-court ruling that it illegally diluted the power of minority voters.

They took the bold judicial decision that a law that never mentioned "tariffs" does not give Trump the unilateral power to set tariffs.

Hardly groundbreaking. But this #CorruptSCOTUS can still surprise.

I'm stunned the #CorruptSCOTUS made a sensible decision.

Sure, they ruled Biden couldn't waive student debt (despite an Act of Congress for that point). But I never thought they'd say no to the #AmericanClownEmperor

But will Trump obey - or will the DOJ gaslight on the decision and keep tariffs in place?

Supreme Court’s Tariff Ruling and Trump’s Immediate New Levies Add New Uncertainty in Global Trade

The decision is a major setback for President Trump, who responded by imposing a 10 percent global tariff after lashing out at the justices who ruled against him. Trade deals his administration has struck with countries around the world are now in question.

@wdlindsy

And what #CorruptSCOTUS decision came down in 2010?

Why Citizens United that fully opened the door to dirty money is US politics. Coincidence?

@stevevladeck.bsky.social

Nice reminder that the #CorruptSCOTUS predates Trump.
