A preview of what is going to happen in this court term, since it's all 100% predictable now:

  • Affirmative action gone
  • More of the voting rights act gone
  • Indian Child Welfare act gone (religious nuts can adopt native kids to convert them to jesus)
  • More power for state legislatures to gerrymander
  • OK to discriminate against gays because of religion again

ICWA is the best bet for this term’s surprise conservative loss. There’s always one and idk I could see Gorky and Roberts potentially landing on the side of justice

Not a great bet but definitely the prediction here I’d be least confident making

just three years ago, a Supreme Court justice wouldn’t let someone with Ketanji Brown Jackson’s skin color clerk for them. now Justice Brown Jackson is on the Supreme Court herself. liberal incremental progress gets the goods!

There's also the case where state legislatured would look at voting results and say, "Nah, gently caress that. We're sending some CHUDs to congress because we can!"

Pikabooze!
nyt doesn't like me, but what is their argument that "popular trust in the supreme court is needed for it to uphold the rule of law"? Everything before that point in the headline is statistically accurate based on polls, of course, and I can envision what they'd like to conclude, but it seems a bit of a stretch to predicate any public servant's ability to uphold their oath of office upon the "trust" of a constituency.

I think it's fairly accurate to claim we will see some rather interesting self-interpretations of their oaths: "I will administer justice without respect to persons". :ohdear: You're telling me.

Far worse. Guy made a parody fb page for his local pd and was arrested for interfering with police business and it went all the way to a jury acquittal because they wouldn’t drop it

if only social media had some means of clearly identifying actual accounts from parodies a sort of colored notation if you will distributed in an unbiased banner to any person or entity important enough to fear defamation

the circuit court decision seems effectively to be that the state can't be held accountable for arresting someone if they reasonably thought, or maybe someone somewhere could reasonably think, what he did was a crime. it follows the pretty widespread court decisions that find that being accused by the state of a criminal act as well as all the burdens and damages that go along with it, including many days imprisoned and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of court costs, are actually just nothing. the police can arrest you for any reason whatsoever and a district attorney, aided by the courts and the carceral justice system, can completely ruin your life as long as they don't eventually convict you. also if they do convict you then you were guilty and deserved all that.

The next SCOTUS justice will keel over shortly after the next congress is seated in January so Senate Majority Leader Mitch can delay voting on a replacement until the 2024 election
