(20,065 posts)tailored to have them overturn that amendment to the Constitution.
Or maybe they'll come for women's right to vote....either, way, they are definitely going to try to overturn the pieces of the Constitution they don't like.
Lucky for us the court moves at the speed of a glacier, so they might not get to it very quickly, or they'll just invalidate a few amendments on the shadow docket.
NOTE: Feeling very not positive about things today. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

(28,437 posts)And if not 9-0, 7-2. There is no logical reason for Gorsuch to side with opponents of the constitution.

(1,599 posts)...in his concurrence re Samuels, he says the Court is probably giving the president too much power, but he goes along anyways. You can't do the mind-numbing legal gymnastics these folks perform without being bought and paid for.

(131,983 posts)because they always do in cases of the people vs. Trump regardless of what the case is about, but Gorsuch was a bit of a surprise. Kavanaugh concurred in the judgment but dissented as to one of the reasons, so it was a 6-3 decision. I'll take it, though, and there will be more ketchup on the walls today.
