Was there collusion with the Supreme Court?

[Baitball Blogger]

The Texas anti-abortion law is so broad that parts of it would be easy to strike down, unless the Court refused to view it. When we know that Ginny Thomas is scurrying around to meetings where she can find provocateurs like Roger Stone, someone had to come up with the idea to throw the kitchen sink into that law, knowing that the Supreme Court would do nothing.

1. I can't honestly...

Claim that I haven't considered that.

2. Seems like it . .....

I have no trust in the 6 RWer judges, none.

[ashredux]

14. Well, Roberts stood with the minority on this one

[leftieNanner]

16. Only because he could get away with it

He knew the other five would vote to uphold the Texas law, so he could pretend to be a moderate guy and vote with the three liberals.

It's all a scam. He got what he wanted.

Political ploy. Yup.

27. Absolutely correct leftie.....

Thank's for voicing that one for me.

3. No doubt. There's always collusion with these wingers.

Organizations like ALEC even write discriminatory bills for legislators which is why there are suddenly vote suppression bills in multiple state legislatures. And of course they do the same for anti-abortion measures.

Legislators communicate, word gets around to courts, SCOTUS judges get wind, know to sit on their hands and let poison pill bills become law. It's so obvious.

5. It does look like Robert's Court is an ultra-activist Court for conservative causes.

Years from now, scholars will view it as a major break with its Constitutional intent. It won't be hard to start with the 2000 Bush v Gore lawsuit and track how the conservatives in the background with that election, filtered their way up to throughout the years.

Robert's reputation is toast.

8. Time for the media to start writing articles to dispute that claim.

12. The MSM gets it scripts from right wingers.

[Baitball Blogger]

19. It's up to the progressive talking heads to start the discussion.

[TheRealNorth]

20. Exactly

The MSM is a right-wing echo chamber and they got the MAgats thinking it's the People's Weekly World.

22. Donors/advertisers . The media gets it's scripts from RW Donors/advertisers.

29. Easy enough to just look at their rulings ...

I'm sure statistics will show just how politicized this court is.
It's mostly on the right, where they make a spaghetti contorted logic to satisfy their decision,
while the left rebuttal highlights these contortions.

33. Not an official body but members include republican legislators...

and private sector people who most likely write the evil bills and then share them with their legislative colleagues who take it from there.

10. If you call playing the long game collusion.

The GOP/right put together a strategy back in the 80s during the Reagan years & it's going along quite nicely, thank you very much. They installed right-wingers on Boards of Education across the country, because you know, "As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." Karl Rove said that. They paid think tanks to craft their dishonest message & bought up radio stations to broadcast it. Over the years, hate radio has morphed into an entire right-wing media machine. There have been a few hiccups, but they are close, soooooo close to one party rule, they can taste it. Two more elections & they just might have it.

Our side has been incredibly slow to recognize & respond to the threat, IMO. Old guard dems don't see their colleagues across the aisle, some of whom have worked decades together, as enablers of fascism. But they are. The entire republican congress are enablers of fascism & our side is like, "Well, what can we do?"

11. I lost all faith in the Supreme Court after the Bush/Gore nightmare.

That was the first time in my life that I realized that my lofty opinion of Supreme Court justices was just another fairy tale taught to those of us brought up in the 50's.

[AllaN01Bear]

32. same here .

15. We should not be too surprised, forthis was the price of "admission" for the judges recently appoint

[world wide wally]

18. It all falls back on the American people who vote Republican.

After 8 years of peace and prosperity under Clinton, we voted to replace him with Bush who got us into the Afghanistan War and War in Iraq and collapsed the economy. Then after a successful 8 years under Obama, we voted to put in the world's most incompetent and buffoonish idiot in our history who brought us lies, corruption and a pandemic.
WTF America? There is no one else to blame.

23. SCOTUS is delegitimizing the law

Soon the left will follow the right and not follow the laws at all.

[MrModerate]

24. So now everyone in the State of Gilead (and out!) can sue everyone else...

I wonder if anyone will use the new law for mischief?

[ancianita]

25. It's not as if SCOTUS hasn't given them instructions for succeeding in past cases, so yeah, probably

28. Court Reform: one of the reasons Dems need to win the midterms. n/t
