Is the US Supreme Court now corrupt?

[Anonymous]

Th decision granting Trump immunity for all of his crimes seems lie the worst of all, and I think there will be more to come of this to come. What do you think?

Yes, it is corrupt

No, it is not corrupt

[ProbablyClueless]

SCOTUS has decided against Trump on a number of pretty important issues. So I actually do have a degree of faith that when they make a ruling, it's because they're reading the law in reasonably good faith.

They said he could have his political rivals asassinated, if he claimed they were a threat to national security AND that nobody was allowed to look into the decision making process. Don't pretend it is a surprise to you if it happens.

@goaded No they didn't and you know it. Stop lying you degenerate.

You know better than supreme court justices and law professors now?

"“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune,” Sotomayor wrote...

Joshua Dressler, a law professor at the Ohio State University, also told Check Your Fact that “by my reading, if a President orders the military to kill a person, including an American citizen, [they] would have full immunity.”

“And, because Chief Justice Roberts stated that it is impermissible to consider a President’s motive for his actions, it is legally irrelevant whether the President is acting to protect national security or kill someone he doesn’t like,” Dressler said. "

@goaded Nobody in their right mind would argue that ordering SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival was somehow "within the scope of presidential duties." Grow up.

I have to wonder if anyone can rise to power without someone having serious dirt in you.

Of course, especially after McConnell removed the filibuster from nominees.

Even he voted against Hegseth. I expect he regrets his corrupt vote against impeaching Trump now.

[goaded]

No other SCOTUS had as few Senate votes to confirm the "justices" as today's.

not sure on that one... this is a touchy subject.

No, it seems to function just fine. I want to see how hey rule on Birthright Citizenship.

[DrPepper12]

It's unconstitutional. Next.

@DrPepper12 The more I read about it , the more I think it is open to interpretation.

[goaded]

What have you read?

[Dargil]

It's doing it's best but Roberts and Barrett have feet of clay.

Looks like we have a lot of Trump supporters on this app.

[Asker]

Yes, we do. Mostly nice people but sometimes seem a little misguided.

[slatyb]

Thomas certainly is. I don't know about the rest.

[DrPepper12]

Alito is scum.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yep.
