BREAKING: Supreme Court DENIES Donald Trump's plea to keep his papers out of the hands of House committee investigating Jan. 6th insurrection at the Capitol

@stevenmazie
The apparent vote is 8-1. Only Justice Thomas would have granted Trump's plea.

[Wounded Bear]

[grumpyduck]

3. Well, we know a few more people

who will be on tfg's shit list.

4. What a tool Thomas is.

Ginni must have his balls in a glass jar for safe-keeping.


On edit: Ginni. not Vickie.

[Retrograde]

11. Or Donnie's records implicate her (n/t)

[OAITW r.2.0]

21. That's a distinct possibility.

If she is indicted, this useles man must resign from the USSC. A total disgrace to the Office he holds. Never did anything of note on the Supreme Court....except uphold the GOP agenda.

Thanks GWHB...the gift that keeps on giving. The best minority mind he could offer up was....Clarence Thomas?

[Ocelot II]

25. That's what I'm wondering. In any event, Thomas should recuse himself

from any case involving TFG. Ginni seems to be too closely involved with the insurrectionists.

[Ocelot II]

23. Ginni? Or does he have a side squeeze named Vickie? Ginni is his wife.

[MagickMuffin]

37. Do you mean Ginni Thomas his wife?

If not who is Vickie?

[OAITW r.2.0]

47. Correct....my Bad.

[pnwest]

5. The target's gonna get even more buggy!

Perhaps he’ll stroke out.

14. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[lisa58]

6. YAY!!!!!

[manicdem]

7. Can't wait

Get the popcorn ready, going to be good

[berniesandersmittens]

8. Badaboom!

Honestly surprised only one federalist society bought justice opposed this.

And it sets the road for all other subpoenas from the 1-6 committee to be abided by.

[Chipper Chat]

9. Rump is going to trash gorsuck and brett.

Wait and see

[lindysalsagal]

45. If we're lucky, he'll threaten them and they'll resign.

[ShazzieB]

51. Amy, too!

All 3 of them were his pics, and he thinks of them as "his" judges. He's going to go ballistic!

[Dan]

10. Nothing surprises me about Justice Thomas anymore,

I suspect that he would vote to reintroduce slavery in America.

[jonstl08]

16. probably right

Use affirmative action programs to get where he is at but now rules against those for other minorities. Complete hypocrite

[MerryHolidays]

19. I am not sure what the relevancy of affirmative action is to this?

Thomas is awful, but it has nothing to do with affirmative action.

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. Nothing to do with social justice, either.

Clarence went to Holy Cross in Worcester - He was a couple of years ahead of me. Never involved with the issues that motivated the community, not in any inspirational way. Mike Harrington and the Berrigan Brother's were very vocal on campus and this was part of my lasting impression of the best in my school experiences. End the War / Feed the Poor....righteous stuff. Apparently, he learned nothing at Holy Cross.

[MerryHolidays]

20. I am not sure what the relevancy of affirmative action is to this?

Thomas is awful, but it has nothing to do with affirmative action.

[jonstl08]

12. Thomas only dissent

Interesting Clarence Thomas is the only dissenting vote if true. His wife is implicated in supporting the coup. Maybe her name is in some of them.

[bluestarone]

13. I can almost hear TFG SCREAMING

[Ocelot II]

26. And it's music to my ears.

[lindysalsagal]

46. Big mac's and whoppers sliding down the golden walls of mardalaog....

[smb]

56. He's Gonna Need To Flush Ten Or Fifteen Times To Get The Bricks Down The Drain nt

[blm]

15. Clarence Thomas is part of the Insurrection

[berniesandersmittens]

17. Yup. And his wife nt

[mvd]

18. K&R

This was surprisingly lopsided, too!

[Emile]

22. Is this the 4 pages of White House records? What kind of records? Phone records?

[rateyes]

55. All of them.

[mnmoderatedem]

24. Maybe Thomas did not want to sleep on the couch tonight

wifey no likey if he voted otherwise.

[kentuck]

27. Good news!

There should be some very valuable information in those documents.

[Fiendish Thingy]

28. To be clear, this is for all 700 pages, not just the 4 that were due to be released today, right? Nt

[blogslug]

31. I think it's just the 4

I could be wrong. Sure sets a helluva precedent though.

[onenote]

34. No. Its everything that was before the Court of Appeals.

The four pages weren't even before the Court of Appeals and were never the subject of a timely objection by Trump.

[blogslug]

41. cool

happy to be wrong

[Nevilledog]

35. 👇

[Fiendish Thingy]

38. Nope. ABC reporting "hundreds of pages" to be released

[blogslug]

42. sweet

[monkeyman1]

53. that's not including the paperwork that got shredded ??????

[Fiendish Thingy]

59. ???

[Nevilledog]

32. It's all

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21182369-order-21a272




Trump never specifically asked for those 4 pages to be withheld. Those were set to be released UNLESS he filed another request for those docs.

[jcgoldie]

30. Especially fun to see

All 3 justices who Trump thinks he owns vote against him again. You know his only concept remotely akin to justice involves quid pro quo so he must feel so betrayed...

[peggysue2]

33. BOOM!

Let the investigation ramp up and documents fry Trump's ass!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. No one is above the law

[kentuck]

39. How long before we know what is in those documents?

It should be interesting!

How many emails were being concealed?

How many phone calls were made to the White House while Trump was celebrating the insurrection?

How many Congressmen and Senators will be exposed by these documents?

Maybe a Friday night drop is on schedule?

[sarcasmo]

40. Trump called Ginny Thomas on 1-5 or 1-6, just a hunch.

[Totally Tunsie]

43. TDFG must be fuming,

and that makes me a very happy woman. Fantastic to see the Supremes (for the most part) doing what they're supposed to do, without any beholding to whomever nominated them.

[Emile]

44. How many will be blackened out? The ones that incriminate him?

[onenote]

60. Who do you think will be blacking them out?

[SheltieLover]

48. K&R!

So have they been given to the Committee yet?

[AZLD4Candidate]

49. I wonder if he's tired of all the losing. Politics isn't like business there, bunky!

[Hotler]

50. This is a win my friends.

[ShazzieB]

52. It's a big win, all right!

[BlueIdaho]

54. Hot foot those documents to the House ASAP! nt.

[Lucinda]

57. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[UTUSN]

58. Oh happy day!!!!!!! -

It's been five years of dreary, dreadful news. Today feels different (other stuff, PAXTON, Henry CUELLAR hosting the FBI at home) - not used to processing these things!

[Poiuyt]

61. Thomas doesn't even pretend to be impartial

I'll bet he doesn't even listen to the arguments. He just votes the way a good fascist would vote.

[Blue Owl]

62. His 'Executive Privilege' has just been flushed, like the big fat turd it always was
