1. And that doesn't even address the "let the state legislatures decide elections"

ruling they're going to make next term.

[Sanity Claws]

2. Striking down NYS' concealed carry license law is also on the side

of civilizational collapse

[dlk]

3. The conservative justices are shredding our country

And they have zero accountability. Bannon couldn’t do a better job burning everything down.

[in2herbs]

10. The frustrating this is that their accountability (legitimacy) lies with our Congressional

leaders and too many of us feel our leaders are failing in their task. The USSC has NO enforcement authority over their decisions so why are we cowering?

[dlk]

18. Not cowering but anticipating Republican action

They will use this to enforce their radical, extremist agenda and n the rest of us.

[rubbersole]

19. Because those of us that still believe in the rule of law are beyond alarmed.

[DFW]

4. Krugman is thinking along the same lines as I am.

On all main issues--abortion rights, voting rights, environmental protection (against total collapse), they have consistently voted against the interests of our continued existence. To what end? For what purpose? I cannot begin to speculate, but for a group of supposedly religious zealots, they certainly seem to be championing the End Of Days.

They are not voting for the glory of some deity, but rather for the extinction of the civilization that created him in the first place.

5. Federalist and Koch Doctrine

Burn it down and bring back Feudalism

[DFW]

17. Tupamaros had the same general idea

It didn't work out too well for them, either--or for Ururguay.

[czarjak]

29. The Plan! All along?

[in2herbs]

22. The Rapture????

[plimsoll]

24. There's every reason to believe they adhere to a millennialist doctrine.

Christ is coming so screwing everything up doesn't matter.

[Politicub]

6. This court has me in a state of shock.

Our country has been changed in immeasurable, cruel ways. And it all happened at once.

[jaxexpat]

31. The electoral college was a ticking time bomb. It has gone off.

We are seeing the power-grabbing phase of republicanism by those who have never recognized the logic of democracy and the *"one man/one vote" concept.

* implied, 'man', in this instance, is not gender specific

[maxsolomon]

7. Focusing on means, not the ends.

That's what they're supposed to do, because it is a really limited-scope branch of the Gubmint.

They're also quite aware their decisions will have consequences.

[czarjak]

8. And they're laughing about it too. Mission Accomplished?

[LymphocyteLover]

11. who is laughing?

[czarjak]

30. You have to ask.

[LymphocyteLover]

44. I didn't know if you meant specific people or all conservative assholes.

[dalton99a]

9. The U.S. Supreme Court is waging war against America and the American people.

[LymphocyteLover]

12. Yes, and they may well destroy us

[MontanaMama]

15. And for the world

given the environmental decision.

[LymphocyteLover]

21. Yep

The GOP is a dangerous death cult and this really can't be said enough

[intheflow]

34. Jennifer Rubin said the rulings are an attack on modernity.

That tracks.

[spanone]

13. America, where you're free to be whatever the minority allows you to be.

[CaptainTruth]

14. Congress needs to address this, with laws.

Which is why we need Dem majorities in Congress!!!

[benfranklin1776]

43. Absolutely right, as that's the best immediate way to combat this existential crisis.

We see the horror of their actions and we can mourn the disastrous circumstances that led us to this dark place, buy the focus right now has to be on using all concrete methods available to defeat their destructive defilement. This is the most immediately effective option-elect enough Democrats to Congress to legislatively destroy this cancer they have unleashed which is killing our democracy and threatens the lives and well-being of all of us.

[rainy]

16. Thom Hartman said today that the constitution gives

congress jurisdiction over the court.

[moondust]

20. But Paul...

deconstructing the "administrative state" and all its regulations will help boost corporate profits and we'll all get richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster...as civilization collapses. It's gonna be great!

[jaxexpat]

32. I hear that train a comin', it's comin' 'round the bend......

and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when. ............richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster richer faster...........

[Mblaze]

23. So many Christians

Are looking forward to the Rapture and the end times. How many of these Justices are content to “let God sort it out”?

[Magoo48]

36. Perhaps after they're ruptured away, the rest of us can adapt and get along.

If those who are sure they are goin’ are the ones goin’, who the fuck would wanna end there with all of them?

[Cha]

25. Rt💕TY

Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

[Cha]

26. We Knew It Would Be BAD. Hillary Warned

Us but Too Many Didn't Give a Shit.

Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

[LudwigPastorius]

27. USA! USA!

[Magoo48]

35. Yup...

[hay rick]

28. A constitution that enables this outcome is illegitimate.

It didn't have to be this way. It is what it is. We need to find a new way forward.

[OMGWTF]

42. Moscow Mitch broke America

with his BS

[Snoopy 7]

33. quit over thinking this

The court seems to be having a hissy fit about their ex-president and his cabinet being held accountable for their actions. Yes, trump and his cronies did commit treason and should be punished. But, the supreme court seems to be saying for each piece of evidence you show we will punish you by taking away this or that. If you look at the different rulings they are a scatter brain of cases. It looks like a child having a temper tantrum and just trying to do what they must to get what they want.

[niyad]

37. Overturning Roe is merely "awful"???? Thanks, Paul. Glad to see how

unimportant women are.

[housecat]

40. Now I am sure that the unqualified religious fanatic on the SC is not a woman

[housecat]

38. What ever happened to three co-equal branches of government? Checks and balances?

Why are we sitting and watching them trash the Constitution? We can no longer play nice with evil.

[world wide wally]

39. This is by far the most activist Supreme Court in my lifetime

[Hortensis]

41. Agree 1000%. This RW extremist court is a clear and present danger to humanity. nt
