@jencmars I really don't see how the submission of the case wouldn't be illegal, given the fraudulent claim.

@jencmars 👆 BTW the erosion of public trust in institutions & law & order is just another bonus for these f**king maniacs - a loose collection of disenfranchised & disillusioned individuals is so much easier to oppress & exploit than a population...

@jencmars but sure let’s go with everyone chanting support the “rule of law” when this ☝️ is the law

@jencmars It's time to get rid of those judges.

@jencmars Kangaroo court. No credibility, no ethics, no legitimacy

@jencmars It's almost like #SCOTUS is already political and the Dems quaking in their boots about reform "politicizing"" the court have lost the plot.

@jencmars Meanwhile, schools still make kids declare subservience to a god because SCOTUS refuses to recognize any person as having legal standing to object.

@jencmars In science, we call this “data falsification” and seek to retract the publication…

@jencmars I have long lost the last scraps of respect I had for law. I follow my ethics. If they line up with the law, it's coincidence.

@jencmars Yeah, this court has no legitimacy. Hope we can do something about it before things are broken beyond repair. In the meantime no respect for the court. They take bribes, they bend over backwards to make laws from the bench that their benefactors want, and undercut democracy.

@jencmars
kinda makes you wonder about the "anonymous Asian-Americans" from the affirmative action case

@jencmars @mlmartens The justices/clerks don’t vet the information filed in the case, but it’s interesting that none asked what the “letter writer” thought about the case. Didn’t he have standing in the case? His contact information was there for opposing counsel and staff to research and question. No one contacted him until this writer did? Maybe they should file a new case, SC bound, questioning the ruling of a hypothetical case with faked facts?

@jencmars
I would like to set up a full wedding planning service. Very low cost. But I won't serve those who want to get married in a church, as that violates my religious beliefs. Also, no religious language is allowed in the service or vows. No displays of sectarian religious items or clothing is allowed. But I'll make it as fabulous as the couple desires!

@jencmars exactly, USA is now officially a shithole county with a facist court

@jencmars And it wasn’t just this case today. The student loan debt relief case was pretty much the same manufactured lawsuit with none of the six states involved having any standing to sue since none were harmed by the administration’s policy. These cases are being taken merely so the court can exercise power over the other government branches and the opposing party in the White House.

@jencmars Rat bastards.

@jencmars I’ve never even HEARD of this shit before today. Something like that would’ve made news, or the wider LGBT community would’ve heard about it.

@jencmars Unless I'm missing something, this seems like malpractice on the part of the lawyers who were arguing against the decision. Why didn't they do the basic research back when this case was before the lower courts, which is where the facts are supposed to be found? Apparently no one ever tried to contact the man whose name was used, even though all of his contact info was in court filings.

@jencmars Isn't this fraud, perjury, AND identity theft?

@jencmars so if cases that they desire to rule on do not come forth from the public, they will just create one? OMG

@jencmars As far as I'm aware, deciding law based on hypotheticals to get a pre-determined outcome is called legislating and not a constitutional responsibility of that branch of government. If we're still going by the "founders' intent".

@jencmars can anyone create a fictional event, and take before it SCOTUS?
Since when did SCOTUS make rulings based on hypothetical situations?

@jencmars
The Republican justices don’t care about the facts of the case. They are there to prolong an agenda past when republicans no longer control the White House and congress because they are appointed for life, well past the time when republicans are no longer relevant.

@jencmars I'm baffled by the notion that appears to be the case in the USA, that if one offers to provide a service, it is mandatory that one has, under all circumstances, to provide that service. That just cannot be the case. In the UK I have on a number of occasions wanted an openly offered/advertised service and been told it wasn't possible for me to have it: they were booked up for months ahead; didn't in fact provide such a service even if mentioned in their website (very recently).

@jencmars If this is allowed, them everyone should be able to sue Florida for infringing on their free speech because of the potential that they might open a business there and be sued by the state if they support LGBTQIA+

@jencmars The SCOTUS is simply another arm of the GOP. They have lost all legitimacy over the past year as they have proven their members are corrupt, legislating from the bench, and unwilling to hold themselves accountable or allow others to hold them accountable. They act like kings and queens. Governors and other elected officials must ignore the judicial overreach for the sake of the Union and (more importantly) for the sake of the people that make up that Union.
