They would disappear you. They would put you on a cattle car. We aren't as unique as we think we are. It can happen here.

(38,634 posts)They approach cases with what outcome do I want (or am I being bribed to produce)? And they then twist a rationale and find obscure and irrelevant bases to justify it. They are entirely unprincipled but see themselves as highly moral and superior.
They also seem to have the same revenge motivations as their hero.

Little does the USSC, the Republicans in the U.S. House and U.S Senate, realize that in a Tyranny/Dictatorship there is
NO need for all of them as there is no Legislative or Judicial branches of government, and they will be kicked to the curb, now that they have fulfilled their usefulness in getting him and the Republican Party to this point....

(688 posts)However over the long history fo the court that isn't always the case and Thomas and Alito are just following in that tradition of not putting their personal beliefs aside. They believe in due process and all that stuff but they only believe in it if it fits their idea of who deserves it which generally means rich white people and corporations.

(85 posts)Soon if things go the way they are going, Trump will realize he doesnt need the Supreme Court either. Ignore one court ignore them all. Dont they realize they are presiding over the dismantling of our democracy? The rule of law means nothing to Trump and should mean everything to the court. What do they think is going to happen?

(6,356 posts)Every day, the vile fascists cowering behind dim donnie's ongoing clown show whisper some new atrocity into his ear, and dim donnie follows along, convinced he's the one making the decisions. It's like King Theoden and Grima, except that dim donnie was never a good man and there's a entire host of Wormtongues everywhere, from the Offal Office to the "news" studios. We need to focus on the whisperers as much as (if not even more than) the bellower.
