It proves at Alito is in the tank. He is deciding issues and cases based on his personal bias and the outcome he favors. He doesn’t have an impartial bone in his body and violates his oath of office again and again. History will not be kind but we will all suffer while he’s on the bench

The justification is more painful than just serving the oligarchs and their paid off pols in return for vacations, RV's, paying off loans etc... Alito, Thomas, Roberts, Barrett, Kavanaugh think they are justified by allegedly doing G-d's will. At least the liberals think it's the people's work.

The so-called conservatives on the Supreme Court are anti-democratic and anti-constitutional radicals who concoct convoluted pseudo-legal rationales for issuing rulings that further their own, and their political/financial backers', personal agendas.

SCOTUS no longer serves its intended purpose.

When are courts going to respond to SCOTUS with "I know you think you overturned our decision, but you have the facts so wrong that we can not even apply your ruling if we wanted to and our decision stands"

Your analysis seems correct, as far as it goes. But it seems to me that even if Ct. of A had denied the stay after the App. Div., that still should not have turned the trial ct.'s order into a final judgment for Fed. J. purposes. How could it be final with an appeal still pending?

Screenshot of excerpt from opinion that reads:

"Despite this, the New York courts refused to stay the trial court’s order. After that highly questionable injunction was issued, the applicants filed appeals in both the Appellate Division (the State’s intermediate appellate court) and the Court of Appeals (its highest court) challenging the trial court’s order on federal constitutional grounds. At the same time, applicants asked both courts to stay the trial court’s order. The Appellate Division refused to issue a stay, and by order issued on February 11, the Court of Appeals sent the appeal filed in that court to the Appellate Division and dismissed applicants’ motions for a stay."

With nowhere else to turn, the applicants asked us to issue a stay, and we have jurisdiction to entertain their application. Title 28 U. S. C. Β§1257(a) gives us jurisdiction to review β€œ[f]inal judgments or decrees” that are rendered by a State’s highest court and adjudicate federal constitutional claims, and the Court of Appeals’ February 11 order falls
within that category.

1/9: In the New York redistricting case, Justice Alito's justification for why #SCOTUS even had *jurisdiction* to issue a stay is based upon a remarkably misleading portrayal of the state court proceedings.

I realize this is technical, but I wanted to write a short thread to explain the shadiness:

It’s great that Kristi Noem has been fired but she ruined thousands and thousands of lives on Trump’s behalf.

There needs to be longterm accountability.

We are going to all have to go to the streets to stop this. I don’t know exactly how it will work. I am almost 70 years old and not very athletic and would not do well in jail. But I fear there is no other choice.

Raskin: β€œBased on what you know today, were RenΓ©e Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?”

Noem: β€œThere's ongoing investigations…I would think you would want there to still be investigations going into these situations.”

Raskin: β€œYou stated [your] conclusion 2 hours after they were killed."

Sheehy is the one who lied about how he got shot in the arm.
War injury versus shot himself.

Sheehy is a fraud, who spouts MAGA crap about the Green New Deal but the stalled solar before the tax credits expired. His business is covered in fraud accusations. He is a perfect MAGA. Dishonest and self serving. How disgusting.

He knew the risk going in. Was unsurprised by anything that transpired, executed his plan without flinching.

This is the way.

They assaulted him immediately when he expressed his opinion.

Also: WHY THE HELL IS EVERYONE JUST SITTING THERE???!!!! There was more of them than the so-called security. NO ONE helped him! That scares me as much as the overreaction to one man's opinion.

I don’t really know what to say. That veteran is incredibly brave. That senator is a fascist piece of shit. This is…shit. Idk what else to say right now. I’m glad it was recorded.

Tim Sheehy seeing that he can double-team another man in a fight and then using that unfair advantage to break his arm is the definition of an unmanly coward.

Outraged by the State Dept's unreadiness for evacuating Americans from the Middle East.

This is a crisis of Trump's making. No plan for attacking Iran. And no plan for evacuating Americans.

This isn't a natural disasterβ€”it's a man-made one. And the man responsible is Trump.

I watched Rubio yesterday beg cable stations to show that phone number on their screens. And pretty much immediately they did. To learn that people who call that number were told we cannot help you… There’s never a way to say this is the worst thing they did, but it was pretty terrible.

I've said it many times: it is striking how many of the GOP pathologies that currently dominate public life were effectively test-run in the hothouse environment of climate debate.
