SCOTUS - US Supreme Court

We US Americans put a lot of faith in the SCOTUS to do the right thing. The legal buck stops there...unless they decide not hear a case which is a form of consent.

The SC failed miserably during McCarthyism. What kind of behavior will a conservative majority support? This could get weird and ugly if the Republicans decide to challenge the election results. They've been laying the groundwork, namely mail-in ballots, for months.

 

This will be, in all likelihood, the rule rather than the exception.

The deniers becoming infected with covid-19 doesn't bother me. Them subsequently using medical attention, supplies, medications, hospital beds, etc that should used for people who tried to avoid covid-19 does bother me. Them becoming spreaders does bother me.


What's next for SCOTUS? Maybe rule to allow tobacco companies to market directly to preteens?

 

I also greatly bothers me because MY WIFE will be there taking care of and possibly being infected by them, which will mean I am infected regardless of the steps we take to avoid it.

 

Will do...I tell her often.

 

If true. That ^ is mostly opinion and conjecture.

And I'm all in favor of nailing everyone who knowingly supported the Capitol Invasion.

 

Just fucking lovely.

Conman Trump breaks laws while serving as POTUS, and it now no longer matters because he's no longer POTUS.

Hell, let's apply that everyone! LEOs can kill people while on the job, but get to walk once they leave the job. Accountants can embezzle. Corporate leaders can lie, pollute, even kill. The list would be endless.

Every time I think about the SCOTUS, I remember the total lack of guts and good sense during the Red Scare, Cold War, and of coure McCarthyism.
