RESIGN. He's thin skinned, hate mail will get to him.

I've come to realize it's actually probably Thomas and Alito.
Scalia was an a****** but Thomas and Alito are just corrupt as hell.

die under a hooker on one of their special vacays like their predecessor Scalia did

Alito and Thomas are simply stupid and mean.

And both of their wives are up to their snouts in this sh6t!!! Sickening. Corporate bootlickers AND religious fanatics.

The most brilliant people tend not to have.

He was charismatic, an intellectual, and intelligent.

how much money he paid Alito.

Trump found a way to get Justice Anthony Kennedy to step down. He knows how to leverage the USSC.

And how much?

Blackmail wouldn't surprise me either.
The holier than thou GOP are usually hiding gross crimes and immorality.

Now Kavanaugh, he's bought off. Somebody paid his gambling debts. I have no doubt that Trump's people have dirt on Kavanaugh.

...losing its power. They'll do anything to keep it.

Those white boys are afraid, once they're in the minority, they'll be treated as they treated minorities.

Religion is about power.

Deliver from scared little white boys, please

When it makes no sense, it is motivated by religion.

What he is, is a right-wing ideologue. He is the opposite of what is expected of a Supreme Court justice.

We have a political activist on the highest court of the United States.

They’ve never really gotten over racially integrating the schools. They called it legislating from the bench.

Irrational and entitled.

The world that Trump would bring him.

The Colorado ruling was supported by liberals on the court, and constitutionally, was the correct decision.

Alito may be dragging his feet on writing his opinion, whatever it is, and that is delaying publication of the court’s ruling, but surely Roberts has given a deadline of the end of the term for Alito to have his say.

All the rest is completely made up clickbait with no evidence to support it, just Stern’s imaginstion.

8. According to Weissmann, the most telling thing was that the Supreme court took only two months to rule

on the 14th Amendment challenge by Colorado, keeping Trump on the ballot there. The Court took only one day to hear and decide the Bush/Gore case. It's been four months since the Court agreed to hear Trump's immunity claim, almost assuring there won't be a trial before the election. It's an obvious demonstration of bias.

But you don’t need a Harvard educated lawyer to tell us that…

It reinforces their world view so to them, it must be true even if it really is just pure speculation.

And, IMO, delaying any trial until after the election was the primary motivation in SCOTUS accepting the immunity case, not the merits of the case itself. The delay in issuing the opinion until the end of the term was baked in the moment they accepted the case.

But, as with those who presume that Garland intentionally obstructed or delayed Trump’s investigations, there is no evidence to support Stern’s specific speculation about Alito and the rest of the court.

We don't know how the case is coming out. If he's part of the majority, Robert will assign the decision to himself. If Roberts is not part of the majority, and Thomas is, then Thomas will assign who writes the opinion and probably will give it to himself or, maybe Alito. But whichever way it comes out, there is a very good chance that each Justice, or nearly each Justice, will write a separate concurring or dissenting opinion. And thus, it could be any one of the justices that are holding up the release of the decision as they go back and forth and tweak their opinions. That's almost certainly what happened with the Rahimi decision, where eight of the justices agreed on the majority opinion which Roberts assigned to himself, but there still ended up being concurring opinions from 6 of the justices and a dissent from Thomas, which helps explain why it took so long for the decision to come out -- the case was argued in early November -- more than five months before the immunity case. Interestingly, the only justice in the majority who didn't sign onto a separate opinion was Alito.

In short, there is no evidence that Alito is the sole justice standing in the way of the decision being finalized.

Covering, aiding and abetting a known traitor.

They know the Democrats aren’t going to send a big mob with bear spray to storm the Supreme Court building. They really live in a protective bubble. Also our side doesn’t give out death threats because of a wrong decision. So they allow Republican fascists to break the law with impunity

When given facts, they get really upset. That’s what is going on with Alito. He is more than just corrupt. He is a cultist.

want to.

After all, it is "the Roberts Court". His reputation and legacy are at stake.
On the other hand, he seems to be a more subtle version of Alito and Thomas.

Get radical self-serving religiosity out of government !!!

it'll give them 4 more years to carry out their conservative agenda without having to answer to Congress.

This is utter bullshit having a S.C. approve of one political party over the other.

be interesting to see if they issue the immunity decision the day before or day of the debate.

The delay is in trump's favor, but don't think he'll get immunity for anything he's charged with at this time.

That tells us all we need to know.

They were just quieter about their overall agenda and hadn't named it yet.

The Federalist Society and The Heritage Foundation have been working toward this since the early '80s, and their goal is essentially to establish a minority white rule in perpetuity - a sort of American Apartheid if you will.

I'm becoming ever more increasingly anxious as everything plays out like it is doing on a daily basis now. It also doesn't help that I'm reading Sarah Kendzior's superb book, Hiding In Plain Sight. It's about the political-economic and geo-political climate that led up to the installation of he who shall not be named here. But the overall aim of these folks is to establish authoritarian rule to ensure their aims. Truly, if you think about it and remember the period post-FDR, the goal of the rethugs (and white evangelicals) was to tear down all the institutions and programs that were enacted to combat the great depression; i.e., wipe out the social safety net programs such as Social Security (especially Social Security and later, Medicare). The wealthy elites and corporatists don't give a continental shit about anyone but their ilk. The rest of us are around to serve them and then die, the sooner the better. Oh, and they couldn't care less about the planet. It's simply around to be exploited and stripped for parts or hunted down.

What in the hell are you (rich people) going to do when the planet turns into a wasteland? Burrow underground? Blast off to Mars?

All that money isn't going to do shit for you then.

We need to get radical, self-serving religiosity out of government.

They've obviously been making contingency plans or else they're hoping their orange Jesus can beam them up in the Rapture or something. I don't even begin to understand where they think they're going to use their US dollars (or maybe it'll be bitcoin by then) after they've sacked the planet, pillaged it and raped it into oblivion.

If the Dems get control of Congress, reform is going to be pushed hard.

SC could be trying to stave off any moves in that direction.

Protecting their cushy lives, keep political power in their hands to remain virtually untouchable.

Alito is a partisan hack who is trying to help TFG

Brat!

Arrogant prig!! Let him write a dissent and be done with it!

Republicans need to understand that immunity would allow a president to kill any of them.

I'm betting that it's those two who are holding things up.

Oh you can be sure that they are not not corrupt.

with all four of it's wisdom teeth.

They can't seriously chew the nation's most important issues, because the core of these problems involves the hard cooked food of radical authoritarianism. What they are cooking is damned hard for a representative democracy to eat. It hurts conservatives feelings to bite down on these things that they know don't belong in the cuisine of American democracy. Yet they can't drop their insistence on radical ingredients that turn healthful culling of unhealthy American foods into a steady diet of toxic catholic integralism cooked up by uncompromising authoritarians who claim their way is what the American diets should look like.

They expect the rest of us to accept that their chewing around the bitter pits as a model of intelligent reasoning in a nation that ostensibly bans religious zealotry from law making. Even while their rich friends fly them to better food venues of the corporate overlords.

So, a large part of this is bullying by judges with rotten teeth. Their opinions float in on breath fragranced by the rot inside.

Criticism of the courts legal hygiene hits Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch like ice water on exposed nerve endings. They don't do the ice-cold criticism. And they don't do the oral hygiene that might return their ability to have any interest in a balanced approach to America's legal dietary needs. They skip all the hard foods and suck on their authoritarian alcohol hoping that the absence of need to chew frees them from the dental pain and that their stupor apparently will keep them blissfully unaware of the expanding problems they are generating by squeezing all this religious fat into the nation's liver.
