Who's with me?

[KPN]

1. Kicked.

Caution is counterproductive and self-defeating at times. This is one of them in my opinion.

[PortTack]

2. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

[50 Shades Of Blue]

3. K & R!

[SickOfTheOnePct]

4. Other than the fact that at least

Half of the stuff in the tweet is untrue…sure.

[grantcart]

10. Over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Should garner 200 recs.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

12. Love the reference!!! N/t

[soldierant]

25. I see nothing untrue in the tweet

You might want to say that, for instance, overturning Roe didn't make abortion illegal. But in many states - I believe over half - that's exactly what it dod, because of the trigger laws in place which went into immediate effect.

Sure, you could nitpick some of those things on technicalities. But the overall effects are exactly as described.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

28. Just that

The court didn’t make abortion illegal, didn’t make gun control illegal, and didn’t overturn Miranda rights.

Facts actually do matter .

[Sympthsical]

32. I'm so glad to find this early in the thread

I was reading that going, "No. Also no. Nope. That is not how it works."

Lordy.

[CaptainTruth]

34. All 5 points are untrue, but they reflect the popular opinion of folks who...

...don't fully understand the nuances of the cases & the nuances of the law.

I hate to say that, & I'm probably going to get criticized to no end for saying it, but it's true. Our media grossly misrepresents many court decisions, I'd say the majority of MSM news stories about major court decisions are wrong in significant ways, & then folks like this guy repeat & exaggerate those mischaracterizations. I try to help, but I get tired of explaining the same things over & over.

Should I start a blog so my friends to refer to my material? Perhaps I should. Years ago I had my own web site where I published all my research & writing about the Project for the New American Century & how they wanted 9/11 so they could use it as an excuse for the Iraq invasion, more than enough for a book, because at the time my goal was to publish a book. I'm thinking I should just have a blog so I can refer folks to it.

[CaptainTruth]

36. I still haven't found a single person outside the legal profession who can explain...

...the EPA decision to me without Googling it.

Bottom line, Congress screwed up. Law professors at major law schools were writing extensive analysis of this problem, & the potential consequences, back in 1994, at least that's one of the earliest I've found.

Previously lower courts gave Congress the benefit of the doubt even though they contracted themselves in the bill, but we finally arrived at a SCOTUS who said "Congress, it's not clear exactly what power you intended to give the EPA, so we're making this decision & Congress it's up to YOU to clarify what you intended."

Nothing was made illegal. Nothing was prohibited. Congress just screwed up & made a stupid editing mistake when reconciling House & Senate bills, & Congress can 100% fix their mistake if they care to.

Instead of spreading untrue information & bitching, it's MY-HUMBLE-OPINION that we should focus on understanding the facts & pressuring Congress to fix their damn mistake. But that's just me... *suffering from COVID & tired*

5. THIS!

👆👆👆

[OLDMDDEM]

6. I agree with you

[Escurumbele]

7. It is a MUST!

[Wednesdays]

8. Yeah, you and what army?

Because that's what it'll take to get that done before January 2023, since we don't have the senate votes for that now.

[dmr]

9. Miranda was NOT overturned.

Police still have to read us Miranda. Our rights are in tact.

Except ...

We can NO LONGER SUE law enforcement for violating our Miranda rights.

Which means law enforcement can purposely neglect reading our rights, and get away with it. That's playing games meant to hurt people like us. Grrr ...

[MadameButterfly]

21. that's kind of overturning Miranda rights IMO

[C Moon]

39. Wow. I agree with you. That comment was walking in circles. Weird.

Makes you wonder about some of the DU'rs commitment to the DU cause.
There's been a lot of that in the past couple of months and it's picking up in the last week.

[KPN]

27. Hmmm ... okay, if we must be picky. But the

result is exactly the same. Results are what counts.

[emulatorloo]

11. GOTV. Expanding the court requires more Democrats in Congress

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Exactly! Roe your vote!

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

[emulatorloo]

14. Love that!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. I think this is what enrages people the most and will GOTV.

There are women in every slave state who are in trouble right now. We shouldn't have to be fighting this again.

[MadameButterfly]

24. We have to win the midterms

and convince joe Biden to do something that won't be called reaching across the aisle.
If anything can convince him (and the voters) this court will.
We just have to make sure Republican legislatures don't overturn it if we win

[uponit7771]

26. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

[FakeNoose]

29. Getting out the vote is essential, but it doesn't fix the problems with SCOTUS

Chump got to add 3 ultra-conservative judges to SCOTUS which is more than any President since FDR. Joe Biden gets Ketqanji Brown Jackson and who knows what will happen in the next election? Even if Biden wins, he may not get to nominate any more Supreme Court justices during his 2nd term.

All we can do is hope for somebody (Thomas?) to resign, or else keel over and die.
Pro Tip: he won't resign as long as a Dem is POTUS.

It's not a pleasant thought.

[emulatorloo]

30. To expand the supreme court, we need more Democrats in Congress to vote to expand the court.

Then Biden could appoint more Supreme Court judges. That’s the part of the OP I am talking about.

[SLClarke]

15. Tribal rights

Also has infringed on Native American Tribal sovereignty

[2naSalit]

40. Yup, that too!

Welcome to DU!

[Martin68]

17. I entirely agree. The GOP packed the court with conservatives by discarding all the norms

of nomination and approval of justices.

[calimary]

18. ME! WITH Ya! Right HERE!!! ME!!!!!

[lastlib]

23. Count me in, too!

[Slammer]

19. "the court have overturned Miranda rights"

Any court which has made it illegal to wear a hat with a large amount of fake fruit on it has definitely lost my support.

The rights were firmly established in Hedda Harper v. Carmen Miranda in 1941, if I recall correctly.

[2naSalit]

41. Only a few short years before...

The Bowling Green Massacre!

Oh the tragedy!

[gademocrat7]

20. K&R!

[Joinfortmill]

22. Yup. It's a mess out there.

[James48]

31. FOUR NEW in 2022.

Has kind of a ring to it, doesn’t it?

[sellitman]

33. Absolutely!

They earned the right to be blocked. They lied, Pure and simple.

[orangecrush]

35. KICK

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

37. truth

[ShazzieB]

38. Absolutey, the court needs to be expanded.

[brooklynite]

42. Even if Manchin and Sinema are the ones getting blamed...

My estimate is there’s nothing close to a Senate majority in favor of expanding the Court.
