So racial discrimination and disenfranchisement is acceptable, as long as it’s in service of rigging elections and undermining democracy? Jesus fucking christ Alito, I know you’re a corrupt piece of shit that shows utter disdain things like justice and the rule of law, but this is taking things to another level entirely. At this point it looks like you’re trying to beat Dred Scott for the title of worst Supreme Court decision ever.
I think I need to officially change my bet. The Court probably will rule that absolute presidential immunity is a thing. I mean why not? The reasoning here is that politicians can do literally anything that isn’t specifically called out as forbidden by the constitution, no matter how egregious or corrupt it may be.
Since we can’t rely on even the tiniest hint of deference to even the most basic of legal principles, the only thing left that I can point to to argue against that outcome is the fact that it would immediately give Biden cover to open up 6 seats on the Court. I doubt they’d take that threat seriously, God knows I don’t. But after this, I don’t think I can even argue that a call to seal team six in that scenario would be doing less damage than leaving the Court in place as the grave diggers for liberty, equality, democracy, and the rule of law.
TL;DR: The decision was bad and everyone should feel bad.
The actual arguments SCOTUS makes on some of their worst decisions are insane.
Like Dobbs: their argument was Roe was based on weak logic that shouldn’t form the basis of a ruling decision, and then proceeds to use the same logical argument they called weak for Roe to rule in favor of Dobbs.
