Whoa.

Well, I bet my pants that Justice Clarence Thomas is a dissenting opinion. Does it say in the article?

Yep.

There’s only one way to find out: ask people what’s in the article.

Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch joined with Roberts and the three liberal justices in the majority. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

I just wanted to guess before I read it.

It’s always the ones you most suspect. You could probably be closely aligned with the constitution without knowing a single thing about the law by just always taking the opposite position from whatever Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh take.

Okay, trump is going to be pissed about this, so why did they do it? Do they think he’s going to die or are there different handlers in play here that are losing money?

They see the tide turning. And Trump will be dead by summer. Time to start positioning JD as the good guy … then they’ll start their bullshit up again…
Show threadpelespiritFeb 20
I suspect you’re right on the money, since their handlers are probably trump’s handlers too.

So are they going to pack the far-left, woke, DEI court now?

Another illegal {insert thing here}?

Oh, wow, is it time to arrest and charge?
Or, will you do nothing just like the 7456 times the fat cunt broke your laws in the last year and you did fuck all?

An illegal executive order isn’t a crime, it just doesn’t count.

I’m shocked! SHOCKED I tell you!

I am. Sincerely, I’m shocked. This is quite the surprise.

It’s not the 6-3 ruling I expected at all. Was fully thinking would be 6-3 that it was okay for him to do it not saying he can’t
Show threadGuy IngonitoFeb 20
Understand that this is SCOTUS believing they’re helping Trump by removing the unpopular tariffs while handing out huge amounts of cash in an election year

I mean it’s such an incredibly unambiguous 9-0 on a legal basis and he still got three nonetheless.

An actual useful court should’ve made this ruling on day 1
