The SCOTUS6, oligarchical fans of debt and wage slavery for the restofus, will be thrilled to kick Biden and his loan forgiveness project in the balls
Hacktivist Court Greedily Eying Up Something Else Good It Can Destroy
The Supreme Court will hear a case that could basically decimate the CFPB, whose mission is “ agency dedicated to making sure you are treated fairly by banks, lenders and other financial ins utions.”
Even the New York Times, bastion of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, warned a ruling against the bureau,
“could cast doubt on every regulation and enforcement action it took in the dozen years of its existence.”
The radicals identifying as “conservatives” have become experts at finding any spot they can pick at to weaken independent agencies that actually help protect The People.
These same people are all over the airwaves pretending they’re outraged over the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
Thus, the “argument” being kicked up to the hacktivists ruling this Supreme Court.
These radical right wing activist judges are ruling not by the will of the people,
but rather thanks to a seat stolen from then President Barack Obama by Republican Senator Mitch McConnell and the subsequent installation, some sans real vetting and one of them with 4,500 tips to the FBI ignored, of three “conservatives” —
only one of whom is actually a conservative, but all of whom function as activists for a radical right wing agenda, with which most of the country disagrees.

Bannon's "deconstruction of the administrative state" is the wet dream of the Capitalist fascist oligarchy.
Will pro-Capitalist / anti-citizen SCOTUS6 destroy the Exec branch by ruling it violates the "non-delegation clause"?
Any ing thing is possible with these illegit political flunkies in robes-for-life

The Curious Rise of a Supreme Court Doctrine That Threatens Biden’s Agenda
The “major questions doctrine,” promoted by conservative commentators,
is of recent vintage but
has enormous power and
may doom student loan relief and other programs.

Clarence Thomas opposes a 'landmark precedent' guaranteeing defendants the right to counsel
Gideon v. Wainwright, a 1963 decision guaranteeing criminal defendants the right to legal counsel.
Three years later, the protections of Gideon grew even stronger thanks to the Warren Court's 1966 ruling in Miranda v. Arizona.
Far-right Justice Clarence Thomas, during his 32 years on the High Court, has made no secret of his disdain for the Warren Court.
And that includes Gideon v. Wainwright.
"In a 2019 dissent, in which he was joined by Donald Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch, Thomas wrote that
the justices who decided Gideon decades ago didn't attempt 'to square the expansive rights they recognized with the original meaning of' the Cons ution.
while this was only two justices calling Gideon into question, we've learned that
precedent only means what the Court's current majority wants it to mean.
the irony of Thomas and Gorsuch wanting to revisit a landmark defamation precedent, given that doing so could hurt Fox News."
The "landmark defamation precedent" that Rubin is referring to is New York Times v. Sullivan.
In that case, the Warren Court unanimously ruled that in defamation lawsuits, the defendant has to prove "actual malice"

the bigger issue is what it's doing to the EPA and the administrative state, tbh
RBG’s death set off a pattern of 'distrust and discord' that still plagues the Supreme Court today
6-3 majority overturned Roe v. Wade with its 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Public confidence in the Court, in poll after poll, has continued to sink since that widely protested ruling.
, "Within days of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's memorial service in late September 2020,
boxes of her files and other office possessions were moved down to a dark, windowless theater on the Supreme Court's ground floor….
The abrupt mandate from Chief Justice John Roberts' administrative team to clear out Ginsburg's office and make way for the next justice
broke from the common practice of allowing staff sufficient time to move and providing a new justice with temporary quarters if needed while permanent chambers were readied….
The confirmation of then-President Donald Trump's chosen successor, Indiana-based U.S. Appeals Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett, was as much a fait accompli at the Court as in the political sphere.
That behind-the-scenes drama and internal tensions over cases that followed,
accelerated by all three Trump appointees,
led to a new level of distrust and discord among the justices that lingers today."

Guess what?
Clarence Thomas's GOP megadonor pal has
a big collection of Hitler stuff!
Crow, the billionaire heir to a real estate fortune, has said that he’s filled his property with these mementoes
because he hates communism and fascism.
Nonetheless, his collections caused an uproar back in 2015 when Marco Rubio attended a fundraiser at Crow’s house on the eve of Yom Kippur.
Rubio’s critics thought the timing was inappropriate given, you know, the Hitler stuff.
“I still can’t get over the collection of Nazi memorabilia,”
“It would have been helpful to have someone explain the significance of all the items.
Without that context, you sort of just gasp when you walk into the room.”
One memorable aspect was the paintings:
“something done by George W. Bush next to a Norman Rockwell next to one by Hitler.”
They also said it was “startling” and “strange” to see the dictator sculptures in the backyard.
Through his largesse, Crow has gained a unique form of access, spending days in private with one of the most powerful people in the country.
Thomas “seems to have completely disregarded his higher ethical obligations.”
, this isn’t the first time Thomas’s objectivity and ethical conduct have been questioned.
imagine if the right’s ubiquitous bugaboo George Soros flew Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson to Gstaad for a three-day ski weekend.
imagine if Soros took any one of them out for a frogurt.
Tucker Carlson would be compelled to do a two-hour investigative report.

"It is your duty": Lawmakers demand chief justice probe Clarence Thomas secret trips
"It is well past time for the Supreme Court to align with the rest of government in a proper code of ethics"

i expect NOTHING to change. Ethics, morals have no place in the SCOTUS6 thinkings
A ver...
The sale was totally legit, one wonders why Justice Thomas hid it.
https://www.propublica.org/article/c...-estate-scotusThe transaction marks the first known instance of money flowing from the Republican megadonor to the Supreme Court justice. The Crow company bought the properties for $133,363 from three co-owners — Thomas, his mother and the family of Thomas’ late brother, according to a state tax do ent and a deed dated Oct. 15, 2014, filed at the Chatham County courthouse
Must be nice to have a patron, every Supreme Court Justice should have one.
I wonder who Justice Kavanaugh's patron is?
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...ire-house.htmlThere is one critical detail ProPublica left slightly open: Does Leola Williams still live in her Savannah home? The reporters noted that they were certain Thomas’ mother lived in this house through 2020, per public records and social media, and that her neighbors said she still lives there.
But Slate can confirm that she resides in the house to this day. Two weeks ago, Joel Anderson interviewed her there for the upcoming season of Slow Burn
lol the NCAA having stricter ethics than the Supreme Court.
Too bad for Reggie Bush, lucky thing for Clarence Thomas.
Correlation isn't causation, but that's a pretty good batting average.
.https://twitter.com/dgordon52/status...669261319?s=20Imagine how the right would react if Kagan's mother lived in a home owned by George Soros
SCOTUS6 know they are untouchable by the Senate that will maybe never have 67 votes to remove them.
and SCOTUS6 have no concept of ethics or propriety, so no amount of disgrace or ethical violations would cause they to resign to protect the honorand legitimacy
Just yet another way, America is ed and un able.
Repugs ignore the blue slip ,
but feckless Dems still allow blue slip blocking of Dem nominees. WTF
And YOU, Cons ution
Lazy, incompetent or corrupt. Is there an option I'm leaving out?
Just like Trump.
Another conservative who hates taxes and loves his access to rich donors.
So typical that the red team, who claims big this and that, but refuse to point at themselves.
And the red team gets all these poor white snowflakes who need to blame someone else for their failures to love these cheats.
Low information party at it again. Just say “liberal, socialist, or communists” so they can allow their willfully ignorant base to pawn off the anger on irrelevance. Feel good red snowflakes?
“Those colored people are supposed to be poor, I’m not! Must be a Commie behind this!”
So then, hypothetically, would it be OK if Justice Jackson's mom were living rent free/tax free in a house owned by George Soros?
Selling real estate at a loss is a classic tactic to launder money/cheat on taxes.
Any other guesses on why a SC Justice would give a sweetheart deal to a billionaire?
Either way, whether Thomas made money or not, not disclosing it smells.
"Supreme Court Justice confused about legally required financial reporting"
At no other level of the judiciary would this be at all cool. Disclosing the sale but not the buyer is shady af.
