fool_of_sound posted:As much as I hate to roll the dice on Roberts, I think he's going to hesitate to permit anything that would reinforce the notion that the court is illegitimate and needs to be packed at this point. Refusing to help out Trump takes the wind out of the 'pack the court' sails among resistance types.

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:I'm going with "grant cert, rule in favor in Trump, do that thing they do where they insist the ruling doesn't set any precedent." Ugh, I forgot they can do this. "We can rule anyway we like, no one is allowed to inspect the reasoning applied." We either need an amendment that straight up says the SCOTUS can't do this or all parties voting in favor of the "non-precident precident" are required to resign effective immediately. I wonder how many of those absurd rulings they can down before the country declares them illegitimate and demands they're all thrown out. I suspect quite a few, given how little attention the average American pays to the SCOTUS.

I’m no lawyer but everything I’ve read so far seems to be saying that “yes, in a vacuum where we have zero experience with laws, the world suddenly popping into existence with the constitution and CFR in tow, that if you look at its reflection from this funhouse mirror, Trump has a defense”. Just as you say, it looks like they’re buying time for an escape.

Grenada might count but it wasn't bombed very hard.

Au Revoir Shosanna posted:it's absolutely wild that voter suppression is such an accepted part of politics that it's barely ever mentioned in everyday media coverage I live in Florida and I have a feeling that some of our very close elections get decided by voter suppression. The other thing that is enraging is that Kemp oversaw his own election and no doubt pulled some shifty business with the voter rolls. I guess that is what a party that is losing support has to do because their voter base is dying off and they choose not to change their platform to be more suitable to the voters out there.'

This one's just bananas, and it has the added drawback of not really meaning anything (tax returns wont be public anyway). Roberts saves his bullets for when it counts.
