The Supreme Court Just Let ICE Detain Americans Based on Race
On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to use racial profiling in its militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles, halting an injunction that had barred officers from targeting Latinos based on ethnicity. The court did not explain the reason for its shadow docket order, which appeared to split 6–3 along ideological lines. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the decision was “unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees,” opening the door to violent persecution of Latinos—including American citizens—by “masked agents with guns.” The majority did not respond to this extraordinary charge, perhaps because it is so obviously true.
It's time to purge the Supreme Court. It's clear that they don't give a shIt about the law or the constitution. They are the activist judges the Republicans always whined about.
People put out these ideas, but I rarely see who or how they’d like them to be implemented. Who would you want to initiate the purge? Any democrat president fine?
Expanding the court is the generally anticipated way to do that
There are several examples from antiquity that show that the people will solve the problem of the government doesn't.
There’s a mechanism for impeaching Supreme Court justices, which would apply to the six criminals.
Or, just ignore them and start a parallel court. If they won’t do their job, why keep listening to them?
I'd be fine with that. After all, as per SCOTUS it's currently legal for presidents to do just about anything they want and be legally immune from prosecution. I assume this includes dropping traitor judges into black sites. Maybe the new SCOTUS won't make stupid rulings like giving presidents the power of monarchs, and some reasonable laws can be (re-)enacted.
I mean I think it's time to purge the whole govt and try again. The system is clearly broken beyond repair
Yes. When the wealthy and powerful have everything and the rest have nothing the rest burn the system down and start again.
Every accusation is a confession
Establishment dems are not up to it even if they could win now and they cannot. We need muscular populists that can build and run a political machine, new leadership across the board.
The problem is, I believe, that a large portion of the US population likes the current cruelty and revenge based regime. They are seething with resentment at being made to feel stupid by the "intellectual elites", backwards by the "progressives", ignorant by the "woke", etc and eat up the "you are right to hate those people who make you feel bad" message the christofascists are feeding them.
Anyway to do this legally?
Being legal doesn't make something right. The fascists have so stacked the system with Supreme Court and Circuit Court justices who don't have a damn about the constitution that it would take a generation of concerted effort to correct IF they weren't fighting tooth and nail to protect the advantage and obstruct change. The only way to really solve this problem is to burn the system down and rebuild it as what it was intended to be. Unrestricted capitalism has failed the people. It's time for the people to tear it down and rebuildd to their advantage.
Biden could have but didn't. Most of us here knew this was coming.
Biden could have expanded the Supreme Court but he couldn't have purged it. It takes a 3/4 vote in the Senate to impeach a Supreme Court Justice.
