In reply to the discussion: Speaker Johnson Says What? [View all]getagrip_already
(17,802 posts)29. Yeah, scotus drops decisions on tuesdays and thursdays
Throughout the term. Not every time, but if they drop, it's on those days.
He is right that it will take a while though. For scotus to get it, the case will have to go to the first level of appeal, then the highest appellate court in ny.
Then they can appeal to scotus if there is a constitutional question.
They could try an emergency appeal to scotus, but they really don't have grounds for that. Not that scotus needs grounds I guess.
But they need a fig leaf of a constitutional basis. Which so far they haven't raised.

I thought Roberts told us yesterday he couldn't meet with congress members. But today we're told he met Speaker Johnson

Sorry, Warpy: they don't have ANYTHING to lose. Theirs is permanent job security.

Far beyond "calling into question"; NO doubt that the SC is captive to rightwing elite

Johnson is immoral, no wonder he needs to have his son keep a close eye on his activities.
