Shall we point out that justice roberts took the UNPRECEDENTED action of rewriting the ACA, trying to frame it as a tax, so it would be constitutional.Exactly. So long as the dems have the presidency and the senate, they'd have "an axehandle" to beat the SC like civil rights protestors. (-:I would expect Trump to play it the same in Biden's shoes. There's no way Biden will try to pack the court if he wins and the Republicans control either the House or Senate. Even if it's an election disaster for Republicans the way 2008 was, why would Biden give up such a prime negotiation card? Plus would you believe him anyways?
And there are about twice as many goper senators up for election in 22 than dem.
So there's a disensentive for them to do anything really radical.
But it remains to be seen how radical the gop Court with 6 votes chooses to be.
Keep in mind, the Federal Court System has added 300 (?) Conservative Judges since trump took office. Judges should be umpires, as the Chief Justice said at this confirmation hearing. Sadly, no such thing can be seen in Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh or Gorsuch; adding Barrett will put the scales of lady justice to lean further right for decades.
Say good-bye to the ACA, R v. W and Miranda. It will be the time for law and order, justice will be an afterthought and variable.
That was wildly in appropriate, especially considering the democrats kept saying it wasn’t a tax.
And who the fuck is eliminating Miranda rights?? When has that even come up??
strawman argument much?
