U.S. Supreme Court: Post-Ginsburg Edition

It's not like we live in a dictatorship with a controlled internet where the "misinformation" is the only version we are ever presented.

Grimaces in Chomsky

and Other Stories

Number 1: Straight up racist.
Number 2: Right, we always hear about LSAT scores for Republican judges.
Number 3: LSAT scores are about getting into law school, not the quality of a legal mind.
Number 4: Trump's grades and taxes...
Number 5-100: Straight up racist. https://t.co/lvVYHzgQt3

I have never once been asked my LSAT score since graduating law school.

i can't believe he says stuff like this almost every single day and not only is he not fired, but no one even bothers to ask that he be fired. bill o'reilly was in the same time slot for many years, top rated, and he wasn't fired/mandatory resigned until it became known that fox had already settled five sexual harassment claims on his behalf. the abusing women part of it was fine to fox; people finding out was the problem.

i find it INTENSELY CREEPY that he has the #1 "news" program, and that the #1 radio "news" program was rush fucking limbaugh for years and years, and that joe fucking rogan is the #1 whatever he is. people lap this hatred up on a nightly basis, it is completely fucked up and weird

i realize some people are beginning to regret their first trump era cancellations of friends and family. maybe they should not have done that, maybe they need to learn to forgive and forget a little.

yeah...no. fuck these people 1000000000000000000x over. you can't watch or listen to this shit for more than 5 minutes without feeling like you're inducted a fascist training camp. also i fucking hate tucker carlson's FACE so much, i would love for someone to throw a bowling ball right in the middle of it

xp to people flummoxed by right-wing opposition to vaccination: it seems to me a pretty clear instance of "You can't tell me what to do!" thinking, which is one of the twin pillars of all contemporary right-wing thought, alongside "You can tell the wrong kind of people what to do."

Those who can't find anything to live for,
always invent something to die for.

Then they want the rest of us to
die for it, too.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was hospitalized with flu-like symptoms and diagnosed with an infection, court says. https://t.co/Zlt736elvM

be still his heart

An infection of what

I have dumbass Black neoliberals in my Facebook feed wishing Clarence Thomas a speedy recovery and I’m like “no, die bitch”

One wonders if he’s vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.

All justices are purportedly vaxed and boosted

Come on Grim Reaper, give us this one please

pls pls pls pls pls pls pls

I've been so good, I deserve it

god? are you listening?????

It's me, everybody who's not a c*** in America.

Perhaps it was from an infected pubic hair on his Coke.

You'll know the matrix is glitching if Biden gets to pick Thomas' replacement.

Haha, "and the judicial committee approves the nomination of Clarence Thomas Jr.!"

brb, buying Gorsuch BASE-jumping lessons

In the first 35 minutes Grassley and Graham mentioned Miguel Estrada, Janice Rogers Brown, and broken car windows and spittle during the Kav hearings.

the GOP strategy is just to complain about past hearings?

building a justification for the shitty things they're going to do/say?

How’d day 1 go?

I heard Lindsay Graham had a few crackers.

Brown Jackson seems like an excellent nominee, it's just really hard to get enthusiastic about a 3-6 court going into an election where dems are about to get slaughtered. At least it (probably) won't be 2-7 I guess?

used to be alito followed scalia's lead like they were grafted together in a scotus version of the human centipede. why can't he do it just one more time?

the GOP said that they were definitely not going to ask the Judge if she likes beer.

Fuck Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz going after the 1619 Project and CRT at the hearings right now

Made sure to name drop Marx as well

she did a good job slapping down his gotcha quote

"Do you agree that babies should confess to their racism? Answer the question!!"

y'all didn't watch Graham this morning evidently. A performance for the ages.

These hearings are basically like, "So how can you, as a black woman, empathize with the white man?"

soft on child pornographers, tough on white folks

oh great it's ben's ass

Jackson's response to Ben Sasse on how to thread "originalism" and modern sensibilities while interpreting Fourth Amendment case law was marvelous and intelligible to the average person.

Lots of unintentional comedy today but “rate your faith 1-10” is up there.

Apparently it was Graham who came up with this howler.

Listening to it live ranks with my first viewing of Pulp Fiction as an epochal moment.

She gave it an 8.3 but not BNM for some reason

lol

so many candidates but I think Lindsey Graham is my least favorite Senator

more child porn!!

I only wish she cared as much about the rule of law as she does about perverts and GITMO inmates
