Legal Experts: Supreme Court Is Lawless After Upholding Texas Abortion Law

[Saltwater60]

I’m sure this is a smear campaign so that when Joe Biden packs it that move will be seen as more favorable.
I find it hilarious how they don’t say the same thing about the second amendment

'Lawless behavior': Legal experts say the Supreme Court acted out of 'political motivations' in upholding Texas' abortion ban

The court has come under attack for its recent decision to maintain a Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.

"they" won't pack the court, actually, they would find it very difficult to pack the court. Most Americans are against it.

If China Jo passes away or gets 25thA, Kamala would have to move up to the POTUS, that vacates the Speaker of the Senate chair, now the House is evenly split 50/50. Thats a BIG problem for Pelosi. Many DemocRATs will be facing a tough primary, MANY 'may' lose their seat to the GOP, and that puts the left in a very tough spot.

Even if they decide to move on the SCOTUS, it would take a year to get anything done, and then we will be in the primaries, and not even the dummyRATs want to piss off the country anymore than they already have

 

[Pale Rider]

When Kamala moves up to POTUS she will appoint a new vice president, who will become the new President of the Senate.

the order of succession is
Harris moves to Potus, Pelosi move to VP, then President Pro Tempora moves to the SOTH,---> which is Patrick Leahy

we will still have a all DemocRAT leadership, but now things are complicated for Pelosi and Schumer

I fully expect the GOP to regain house seats and likely the senate in the midterms.

 

[libertysnake]

I suspect if they're going to pack the courts any time, it will be right now due to the OSHA crap. That way they get a favorable outcome.

Nope. That's only the succession if they all get knocked off at once.

See the 25th amendment.

At this point, do you think they care about what anyone thinks about them? "Free and fair" elections are a long lost piece of this country's history. They will continue to do what they want.

HA! From your lips to gods ear!

 

[Tinman]

Harris becomes president. Hillary is named VP. Then Harris has a tragic accident and Hillary becomes President.

That isn't how it works.

Pelosi is never VP.

She is 3rd in line for POTUS. There is *no* line of succession for VP.

If Harris kicked the bucket tomorrow, we would not have a VP until Biden appointed a replacement. Pelosi would remain speaker.

POTUS is the only position that *cannot* be vacant.

 

[Bigfoot]

Wait, what? Hillary? What a, horrible, horrible, thought... Ho Lee Fuk.

Oh, and then, Hillary picks Cuomo as her VP. Oh man, this is nightmarish stuff... LOL

 

[Saltwater60]

I see some one more radical honestly.
Im not sure who but some one younger. Hilary has been hiding. Seemingly so have the squad.

 

[ecosystem3]

The President would nominate a new VP if that position is vacant. The Senate would then need to confirm the nominee. If Harris is the President, the Senate would be split 50/50.

No that’s not what happens. That’s the order of succession to the presidency . It does not mean people “ move up a slot”.

When Nixon resigned and Ford took the presidency , the speaker of the house ( 3rd in line) did not move up to the Vice presidency .
The New Vice President is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The moment Harris takes the presidency, she is no longer VP. And no longer the tie-breaking vote for the 50-50 split. The Vice President seat will probably go vacant. The control of the senate also goes into question as well.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Can't SCOTUS just call in an airstrike?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Hope they have better aim than dementia Joe.

 

[spat]

Can't SCOTUS just call in an airstrike?

If SCOTUS were to declare someone was no longer the legitimate head of government, they'd better have some very very good security.

Imagine the Jan 6th crowd, but SCOTUS had said Biden was illegitimate, and Pelosi tried to install him anyway.

They would have brought considerably more than pepper spray, and they would have had a lot more backup.

The military would have to make some tough choices then. You could even see senior military officials taking different sides in that conflict.

 

[Saltwater60]

Then the new VP is the tie breaking vote.

 

[Grimscale]

Then the new VP is the tie breaking vote.

What new VP?

The point is, with a 50/50 split and the VP chair empty there IS no "tie breaking vote".

 

[spat]

Then the new VP is the tie breaking vote.

The new VP isn't the VP until *after* the vote.

There is nobody to be the tie breaker on a vote to confirm a new VP.

IIRC a 50/50 split is not confirmed.

Why is the supreme court "lawless" only when decisions go against what liberals want?

After general "white rage" Milley's performance in afghanistan I seriously doubt the military would be on the side of the protesters. In fact I can see them being very loyal lapdogs for the current administration.

There has been talk and questions from Field Grade Officers looking for a consensus among the enlisted as to "if" they would take up arms against their fellow citizens, and from what we have heard the answer was a definitive NO!
I expect there are and will always be Kapo's and those "just following orders" but the majority will skip out and become the "enemy" they were supposed to round up at gun point.

"Traditionally, the court uses the shadow docket for procedural purposes — to accept or deny applications for emergency action — in typically small, uncontroversial cases. But in recent years, the court's use of the shadow docket has sparked outrage over what critics describe as increasingly partisan and unsubstantial rulings, including now in the Texas abortion case. "

"It just concerns me tremendously," he added. "To me, the court should never take any action without providing a full set of reasons, telling us why it acted as it did. And the court has not been doing this in these cases that are referred to as the shadow docket."

He's not wrong.

That should be of extremely high importance to anyone; regardless of political leanings.

We can only hope.


The real scary thought is the motive behind that question.

Are they trying to evaluate how successful their indoctrination and ability to issue that order will be ?

Are there people who take that "hell no" answer and say "well, back to the drawing board I guess" ?

Today's Army (and I expect other Branches) is not the same as 10-20-30 years ago...and in the past rumor control has spoken of these questions, but this time the source is impeccable, which scares the shit out of me.

 

[Celt]

Nope. That's only the succession if they all get knocked off at once.

Id buy that for a dollar.

Look, I'm a peaceful person. If anything, I'm probably one of the most pro-peaceful solutions posters on this board. That's what I want, above all.

But, I will not idly stand by if someone takes up arms against me. At that point, win or lose, I will not be a slave by force. As long as I draw breath, I will remain a free man. I will go down fighting.
