CONSERVATIVE COURTS - STACKING THE DECK AGAINST DEMOCRACY

Surprising no one, GOP makes it more difficult for the Senate to confirm judges - Dailykos (dot com)  McConnell—continuing as the villain no one asked for—wants to block all of President Biden's judicial nominees and grind business to a halt. If Senate Democrats lack a majority on the Judiciary Committee, Republicans can blockade the dozens of qualified nominees who await confirmation—justice be damned.


THE GRIFT:

The Senate Judiciary Committee just asked GOP megadonor Harlan Crow for a list of any gifts he's given to a Supreme Court justice - news.yahoo (dot com)

The abortion pill lawsuit is not only still active, but will be heard on May 17 by a group of judges, including James Ho, who has connections to both Justice Clarence Thomas and his Republican megadonor benefactor, Harlan Crow.

Ho is the Federalist Society/MAGA darling of Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals who’s written very aggressive opinions, including one from 2019 in which he said that “abortion is the immoral, tragic, and violent taking of innocent human life.”

B.See » 03 Oct 2022, 8:09 am » wrote: I've spoken about the conservative Supreme Court in other threads and of how their legitimacy, as an unbiased judicial institution has fallen into question, and RIGHTFULLY SO.

However, the Republican assault upon America's judicial branch of government goes way beyond the SCOTUS, beyond McConnell's deliberate blocking of Obama's Supreme Court nominee, beyond his threats to never allow a 9th justice should Hillary Clinton win the presidency, and even beyond Justices Scalia and Thomas sneaking off to Heritage Foundation pow-wows and other right wing, think tank, corroborations.

It is why it's NO coincidence that all SIX of the conservative super majority of the SCOTUS are or were members of the Federalist Society, the organization that has literally orchestrated and dictated the right winged judicial agenda.

From wikipedia:

In January 2019, The Washington Post Magazine wrote that the Federalist Society had reached an "unprecedented peak of power and influence."

Politico
wrote that the Federalist Society "has become one of the most influential legal organizations in history—not only shaping law students' thinking but changing American society itself by deliberately, diligently shifting the country's judiciary to the right."


So the PLOT to reshape and mold America's justice system in their OWN image was there from the START..

For those inclined to tell ops what their threads are supposed to be about, YES, this thread is going to talk about the radical FAR-right Supreme Court - I'll talk about them a LOT, and badly. And again rightfully so. Nor am I alone.

In only 5 days I've amassed over TWO DOZEN articles of concern (and COUNTING) written by experts, analysts, and those in the field, TRUMPETING the well founded concerns of many, about the Supreme Court LEGITIMACY as an impartial body of justice.

But there will be other stories of the right's conspiracy to taint the judiciary as well.
Supreme Court Justices are appointed as stipulated by the U.S. Constitution... and THAT process has currently given us a slightly CONSERVATIVE court... WHICH, I believe is exactly where America currently is. 

THOSE who would like to BASTARDIZE the process to get more Liberals on the court, and to DRIVE America and American values to the CRAZY LEFT? 

BEWARE... the Firestorm you are playing with will WILL BURN you BADLY !!

That process you speak of was already "bastardized" when Moscow Mitch McConnell and company REFUSED to even hold a hearing on President Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland. 

So much so, that McConnell gloated how a Republican controlled Senate was determined to NEVER consider a Supreme Court nominee if Hillary had won, and were planning on leaving it one justice SHORT.  Their actions effective gave Trump a nominee he never should've had. 

That, and the Federalist Societies deep involvement in the nomination of judges at all levels means the "firestorm" has already been started, by REPUBLICANS. 

About time to fight it WITH fire, imo.
