    I don’t even know why they bother pretending they have laws anymore. No one on the outside buys their bullshit and their loyal zombie hordes will bend over for any reason. It’s just a silly larp now.

    The answer has always been no. Whoever’s asking the court for this is who we should be worried about.

    Every time SCOTUS does this shit, they get one step closer to impeachments, and an expansion of the court.

    I used to believe we should expand it to 13 seats, but I no longer hold that belief. Now I believe that we should expand it to 29 seats. SCOTUS is too important, it shouldn’t be so small that one bad-faith president can manipulate the composition of the court so that he negatively impacts policy for the next 50 years.

    29 justices, rolling term limits, so every Prez gets to appoint a few, but never enough to alter the steady progression of our society and history, with wild cultural and political swings.

    If you can’t even challenge the legality of your detention, then you don’t live in a law-abiding nation. That leaves only one way to challenge the state and I guarantee they’re not going to like it.

      Ethnic refers to a group of people who share a common cultural background, national origin, language, religion, or ancestry.

      I expect most of the members of scotus would share a common cultural background.

      What do you mean by that word ?

        Racist people in the US use the word, in this context, to mean brown people.

        I believe the comment was using it ironically

          Ah, thanks. I’m not American and had not seen the word used as euphemism like that, so it was a very puzzling comment without that context.

        You must have gotten the gist of what I was typing. If not, I’ll leave it to you to interpret it any way you like. Thanks.

    The fact Americans are even entertaining this idea makes me unempathetic to they’re plight. They’re just letting this happen, you deserve to be debt slaves.

        Maybe in Trump’s 1st term. The world has no sympathy for Americans anymore. Trump isn’t the hero America needs, but he’s the one they deserve.

            So, are you going to stop the fascist rise with a vote, deluded, your just reinforcing my point. You think a vote will fix Donald? You, deserve, this.

          america is probably the most mysogynistic, racist WESTERN right wing country. cant even tolerate a center right woman, nor color. plus they allow propaganda in the msms unabated, and are unable to discren from it.

        Then stand up for yourselves, Americans are big-talking cowards, nobody is coming to save them from Donald but them.

        They deserve it because they’re not fight for they’re freedom thinking theyre vote will actually matter at the end of the day and not have to fight of a far more competent coup. They can either put there money where their mouth is or shutup as for as I care, if they were defending themselves properly I’d be far more supportive. The french rioted for months when they raised retirement age by 5 years, Trump literally stripes away your rights and I see some week long protests and that’s it. You’ll get no simpathy from me give Id know they wouldn’t do more then give a thoughts and prays were it the other way around.

        China did do a lot to deserve its situation yes, it was the peoples decisions to let the CCP in and take over, your point? Are you refering to their children rather then the original mistake maker, they’re parents maybe?
