SCROTUS hypocrisy

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden:

They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it.

5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

End snip.

I think this is what drives us all mad is the inconsistent interpretation of the law. Biden forgiving student loans is overstepping his authority, but the 🍊 🤡 upending citizenship and overturning a contitutional amendment is not.

Expand the court if we ever get the chance again!

Entire maga republican world must be stopped completely by an overt and massive revolt. Otherwise we’re all completely fucked and yet I see nobody doing anything in reality as to commensurate response to the threat we face.

Myself included. Everybody realizes there’s going to be no more elections, right?
