this incompetent administration will harm everyone else & blame everyone else but not themselves

they do something illegal, are taken to court - lose in court - then blame the court.

I feel after a few iterations of them losing in court - they're going to start abducting / blackmailing judges and having placeholder judges who can make judgements to please them

What's ironic to me is that the Republicans have packed the highest court with their judges and still somehow don't get everything illegal action sanctioned.

The more likely being that some and not all are corrupted.

The three who dissented for Trump on the recent tariffs case are but one of them his appointees, the other two having been there a long time. The one most frequently accused of corruption, Thomas, concurred with the majority. Trump's other two appointees concurred with majority.

So which of them are corrupted? Why did those corrupt ones vote this way in the recent tariffs case? The OP said "the Republicans have packed the highest court with their judges" and implied this should lead to illegal acts being judged legal, in a corrupt manner.

I'm tired of this rhetoric. The supreme court justices are highly competent legal minds who, in my judgment, judge based on their genuine interpretation of laws. I have read many of this court's decisions and listened to many of the oral arguments. Only Sotomayor seems in any way to sometimes argue with blatant ideology over law. The court leans right in matters of ambiguity because its constituants think in those ways. None of them are of the disposition to "get everything illegal action sanctioned."

What do you mean by constituents? The judges aren't elected by the people.


The person or thing which constitutes, determines, or constructs. A SC justice is a constituent of the SC.
