Looks like even the confirmed rapist’s appointees are tired of the fuckwad’s shit.

This is good news in a sea of bad lately.

Weird but seems true.

moderate and reasonable. In the meantime, we can pretty much guarantee that Alito and Thomas will be as extreme as possible.

I also like to call them the Gruesome Twosome (among other, less PG rated things).

I hope they both drop dead on January 21, 2029, the day after our new Democratic president gets sworn in. (A girl can dream, okay? )

They are both old enough and Thomas barely looks alive anyway (though he's always looked like that I suppose).

"T and A"!!!

Gone is gone, however it happens, but I don't think either of them would voluntarily retire with a Democrat in the White House, and if anyone retires from SCOTUS while Trump's still in office, God knows what kind of freak(s) he would replace them with!

that one might exit while he is still in office.

As for retiring voluntarily with a Democrat in the White House, age changes people in many ways and as we get older, our abilities and priorities change. They may still be willing in some respects, but not necessarily able.

Alito is well known to favor an Latin American/Opus Dei-style dictatorship.

And Thomas? An Idi Amin-style one.

they seem to have gotten more open and brazen or perhaps they feel more secure showing their true colors with Trump in charge.

They see the Orange Pig as their best - and possibly last - hope for overturning U.S. democracy.

The Bushes - neither of whom much cared for democracy, as they showed during Bush v. Gore and in many other ways - knew exactly what they were doing when they installed that pair of turkeys in the Supreme Court.

it is easy to forget what a truly awful presidency that was. GW had no administrative skills and was easily managed and manipulated. Men with "daddy issues" make terrible leaders.

And we will take our victories wherever we can get them.

This was a big vote and ketchup is running down the walls near the Oval Office.

...before it is passed?

The Court's interpretation here was purely based on current statute law about elections.

Congress can still change those laws.

Right?

Then it could be challenged in Court?

Whether they are legally permitted to remains an open question.

100%

fifty one votes or sixty six + votes in the Senate, and would it also not have to be passed by the House?

where they don't have enough votes for cloture (60 votes), to end a the filibuster and likely don't have enough (50+1) even if they overcome the filibuster.

The House has already passed the SAVE act. So if it passes the Senate, we're done.

Not sure about the details though. I'm on overload right now.

In short, "Your job is to deliver the damn mail. Nothing else."

Let me make this in a sports analogy, since that is all most people understand these days. If I toss a basketball during a game and it makes the basket before the game ends, the score counts! Duh.

Meaning people were allowed to mail ballots after in person voting sites were closed

Shocker, but I'll take it.

This war is far from over. Fuck Trump, fuck SCOTUS, and fuck Fox News!

With everything you said. B

You know how it goes with this corrupt court. For every decision that goes our way, there are nine which don’t.

There is a big difference between the two, and I bet there will be a big difference between the way red and blue states handle late arriving ballots.

Those that allow it based on postmarks can continue to do so. Those that don't aren't forced to.

It would be easy to misinterpret this as applying to all states.

Republicans cheat, and they've used mail ballots to cheat in the past, for example by deliberately mailing them to ZIP codes that have primarily Democratic voters so late that have to go to the polls thus disenfranchising people who are physically unable to drive or vote in person. People who ordered mail ballots and aren't able to early vote or get to their precinct on election day miss out on voting.

Another way Republicans cheat in requiring each county to have only one dropbox for voters to deposit ballots, so a 600-resident county has one box and a two million site like Harris County has one box. All the large cities in Texas are Democratic.

Is there wiggle room for the unscrupulous?

That is my prediction.

Seems like potential for som “mischief” there.

Rec

If at all possible, get that ballot completed and put in the mail ASAP. There will always be some weird situations where that isn’t possible, but those should be exceptions.

Now the GOP can focus on getting the USPS to slow down delivery.

Up until the Bush V Gore ruling, they always made the voter and the right to vote paramount.

was the second time the Republican's Supreme Court allowed a decision that should have been challenged BIG TIME.
Voting was a States Right. The U.S. Supreme Court had absolutely NO LEGAL RIGHT to intervene in the Florida Election Re-count. But the Supremes came in, stopped the re-count, dictated by Florida Law, because they suspected that it would show Gore the Winner.............
The worst part is, that once the Supreme Court corruptly and illegally pulled that off, it forever established a precedent for them to use from then on. Allowing them to use it to corruptly and illegally use it as a precedent to interject themselves into elections for ever more.........................

The first time was when HWBush and his CABAL committed treason to throw the election to "installing" Reagan.........

Maybe they should have a "self-evident" docket. The slang name would be the "no duh" docket.

They are sent out weeks ahead of time.

Before election day. But in general elections quite frankly, people need to turn that thing in as soon as they get it. And also theres a good chance the government will do everything they can to not count our votes so sooner is always better no matter what at this point.

Not saying much tbh

Right decision yes, but 5-4 decision in a case that should've been 9-0 tells me everything I need yo know.

You gotta love the Scots!

What a waste of time.
