The Supreme Court's "Catch and Delay" Operation

USSC has done a catch and kill (rather, catch and delay so it can be killed) operation on Trump's January 6th case. They took it to delay it, much like David Pecker bought negative stories about Donald Trump to "kill" them so that they were never published. . . .

TWO THINGS:

1. They took the January 6th case to DELAY IT. That is all. When they take indisputably criminal cases (no disagreement from any courts or juries on the way to the USSC) just for the delay, that's a clue. Otherwise, they'd have not taken that case.

2. When they take previously decided cases to overturn them and cases intended to impose ideologies that are very unpopular with the general American public, that's a clue. Such cases are being massively shoveled up to this court by the Koch/Federalist Society (on orders from the same) for MAGA to finally get what it wants from this court because they can't get it legislatively or at the ballot box.

Roe v Wade: overturned. Affirmative Action: overturned. VRA: destroyed. COMING SOON: LGBTQ rights: soon to be destroyed. Access to and use of birth control and medication abortion: on their list. Civil Rights Act: soon to be destroyed.

Rep. Jamie Raskin said that the USSC offices should be moved to RNC HQ. At this point, at least six of the so-called "justices" should move there to allow six actual justices to be installed in their place. Of course, that won't happen but functionally, it should.

It should be clear to anyone and everyone why those six conservative justices -- and particularly the last three appointed -- are there. Donald Trump and his team celebrated when the USSC took the January 6th case, and he called them "my justices". There is no pretending that any concern for justice, the rule of law, or integrity exists on the part of that court those six justices occupy. . .

1. SC guilty of election interference.

Another example of SC criminality.

2. Sure looks that way. Scandalous really for supposedly impartial judiciary when justice should be swift.

Please God let Biden win and have more opportunity to replace some of this court. The judgeship loss that went along with Hilary's loss is the thing I regret most. Thought she would be a great President with all the right experience and finally smash that highest of glass ceilings but the judges, that hurts long beyond a Presidential term.

3. Pres. Biden will win.......................

Unfortunately, Pres. Biden's campaign is in a battle with so much lies, misinformation, corporation controlled by RWers (media) along with their polling (which reminds me of Russia), a justice system which favors RWers, etc.

Keep your eyes on the prize - vote.

4. The coup continues in real time...

It’s all going according to plan.

5. It took the Supreme Court 30 days

to put Trump back on the Colorado ballot.

6. I think they'll delay until the last (or nearly so) ruling of this term

…before handing down their opinion. And they’ll use the same gimmick they used in the Colorado ballot case; in this case, something like:
“Presidents have immunity from civil and criminal prosecution for actions taken when in office. If Congress wants specific actions by the President to be regarded as prosecutable crimes, they can pass enabling legislation to that effect.”
