Are you surprised that the SCOTUS blocked Trump's latest attempt to subvert democracy and control elections?

I kind of am. Thomas and Alito always suck up to Trump. At least the others finally got some sense of integrity at least for this one.

A little because they are usually happy to just give him whatever he wants. It should have been blocked though.

Yes, especially when the majority are Rebublicans who always side with him. I think they are finally realizing that they want us to remain a democratic nation, and not a dictatorship nor oligarch, in which it's been heading towards. Something is up--maybe they're tired of his demands. However, that wasn't supposed to happen in Project 2025. According to that plan, there would be no more room for Democrats to come into power.

yes. all democrats are surprised remember? they said 'trump is a dictator- control court. repeal -roe vs wade -was by slaves'. turns out trump is not a dictator forcing courts.

not tyrant, authoritarian nor all those fascist topic names. funny how those who say they oppose FASCIST do fascist -censor of opinions here, to keep echo rooms pure!

but turns out judges are not slaves. repeal -roe vs wade -was not by force. it was real justice to move authority to states.

Trump is HIGHLY UPSET about this! This is NOT what he wanted! Roe v Wade was overturned after decades of being the norm in the US! The justices who voted against it actually lied in Senate confirmation hearings about not touching it!

[strateguy632]

Trump did not want this. And they disobeyed. That was my point. Trump is not a dictator but anti fascist are fascist.
Like several anti trump users here keeping pure echo rooms. I can name but that is called user post.

I am a little surprised at this. They gave some phony excuse that there was not enough time to make a decision. Either unsolicited mail in ballots are open season for cheating or they are not.

[goaded]

They are not. They never have been. You've literally never complained that Utah electing Republicans was unacceptable because they use 100% mail-in voting.

[exitseven]

@goaded it is the unsolicited mail in ballots that are so vulnerable to fraud. If a registered voter requests a mail in ballot it is a lot harder to cheat. I recieved a mail in ballot today and my wife and on of my kids also got one. My son does not live in this state anymore but I could fill this ballot out and mail it in and it would count an nobody would know.

[Asker]

Please stop with the fucking lies! If you aren't registered, your vote won't count! I don't give a fuck if your dog got a ballot! When the be ballot is received, they verify! It's called verification of a provisional ballot! Just because you get a ballot in the mail doesn't mean it will count! I have been a poll worker for years in different states! You sound like Guiliani and the ignorant rednecks pedaling lies about "stuffing ballots under tables"... or "bamboo fragments" in envelopes proving the ballots came from China... Trump has made you guys stupid and paranoid because it's about him wanting to keep power! I'm so glad that the SCOTUS got this one right!

[goaded]

"My son does not live in this state anymore..." Then why is he still registered?

[jshm2]

No. As you can bet your ass Trump will run to the Shadow Docket or appeals to get some concessions.

[Abbycado]

Nope, this doesn't surprise me at all given election laws.

[goaded]

A little bit. I think Kavanaugh left some wriggle-room, though.

[fishbone77]

Let's hope we keep this up! Stop Trump from cheating! Demand in person voting with voter ID!
