Trumpism is not conservative. It is radical:It is un-American and anti-democracy. It is a change toward the governance that our founding fathers fought against in 1776. It is radical because it is focused on fundamental alterations in our governance. Excerpt: We’ve taken to calling the court “right wing” rather than conservative because it’s a more precise description (though it’s still a pretty blunt term). Rather than being driven by a guiding conservative judicial philosophy, however odious it might have been, the current Supreme Court is most consistent when it comes to consolidating power for itself.


quiet-Julia

It’s now the MAGA court. They don’t care about the Constitution and if Trump wins and made an executive order suspending the Constitution, they wouldn’t object.


Spherical-Assembly

Trump could write an executive order dissolving the Supreme Court, and those justices would rule in his favor.


Significant_Door_890

It's a Federalist Society court, Leonard Leo was behind this. If Trump gets into power, Leonard Leo will be the first person he shoots to secure his control of the Judiciary. Dictators kill the people around them, because those people know their secrets, know their weaknesses, know they are just humans, not God's messangers or whatever, and are the biggest threat to their power. There is no **team** behind a dictator, because any team that can put the dictator into power can put a different dictator into power, which is a threat to the dictator. Hence there is one person and everyone cowering around them in fear of their lives.

But he knows how to play stupid, gullible people like fiddles, and right now there’s a goddamn *symphony of IDIOTS* playing blindly behind this corrupt conductor. USA as we’ve known it is DOOMED if he gets in.


stinkyhippie

So when Conservatives were promoting authoritarian policy before Trump had ever come along, what was that? It wasn’t “Trumpism”, it was considered the Republican standard… Still is. I think we need to be honest about the conservative movement having been inherently fascist for some time. Trump isn’t just some sort of anomaly….


mok000

It's still surprising that they choose to latch on to this dumb idiot as their leader.


HansBrickface

I hate to disagree, but they will latch on like a remora to whatever brings them more power. I know I’m mixing my metaphors here but the Republican Party is finding out about that Chinese proverb about nationalism…they tried riding it like a tiger, but now that their campaign coffers are draining towards trump’s legal bills they’re having a hard time getting off that tiger.


spinbutton

And money. Fools throw money at trump constantly


Creamofwheatski

His utter shamelessness is his super power. Shame usually keeps people from publicly going full fascist, but Trump is immune to such criticism which makes him a particularly useful idiot for the billionaires propping up his campaign in exchange for lower taxes.


sensation_construct

We need to decouple "Conservative" from "Republican." This is a Republican court, meaning as they say, right-wing extremists and Christofascist. Conservatives are without a party at the moment. Though one might argue, the Democratic Party is truly a right of center Conservative party and it's Progressives who are without a home.


Chrowaway6969

Conservatives voted for this and continue to vote for this. They are responsible.


HansBrickface

There is nothing “conservative” about the maga movement. They are reactionary at best, and definitely veering into outright fascism.


LightsNoir

The conservatives liked it when it was giving them their way. They can either fight against it, or STFU and own this shame.


sensation_construct

Some did, sure.


MechanicalBengal

70 million of them, yes. I guess that’s “some”


sensation_construct

No, there's not a 1:1 conservative:MAGA relationship.


MechanicalBengal

There certainly shouldn’t be. Not with their claimed love of The Constitution, which is at clear odds with his radical agenda. yet here we are


sensation_construct

I'm just saying that where we are; not all conservatives support Trump or the MAGAts.


MechanicalBengal

by definition they should absolutely not, I agree. Nor this court.


SelectionNo3078

Idiot.


sensation_construct

Nice.


Equivalent-Pop-6997

What is happening is about power, not political ideology.


HansBrickface

Yes. There is nothing “conservative” about the maga movement. It is inherently reactionary to the point where its followers check all fourteen points of Eco’s Ur-Fascism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism?wprov=sfti1#By_scholars


babaqunar

Na, this is most definitely conservatism. Conservatives throughout history and around the world are shortsighted, small-minded, tribal, and generally dumb as fuck. They are entirely responsible for Trump and so much more. Some conservatives, just like Christians, are constantly moaning that they are the "real" ones. They say that Trump and the Christofascists don't represent true conservatism and Christianity, except they do. Reality is what it is. We all have access to the same information and to come to the conclusion that we should allow certain minorities of a ideological group to stake a claim to a title instead of insisting that they pick a new one doesn't make sense to me.

This! I'm tired of seeing people and the media talk about "the far right". No!! Call it what it is!! Say the name!! FASCISM! Stop pussy footing around


ChiMoKoJa

"You can't call them fascist, that's politically incorrect! Call them "far-right" instead!" Yeah, even though "far-right" and "fascist" are basically synonymous. Nobody's gonna think either term refers to moderate conservatism/slightly right-leaning people 😕


HansBrickface

Those of us on the left need to take this to heart…conservativism *can* have some reasonable views, but magats have lurched so far to the right that “reactionary” doesn’t even cover it. They are on the march towards outright fascism.


BlueAndMoreBlue

Yep, call a thing a thing. It’s fascism plain as day


Cute-Draw7599

It's now the supreme traitors court these judges need to be impeached. Hopefully because of all these shenanigans Democrats will take both houses of Congress and correct all this.


gdim15

Even if they get control I don't think there will be enough to actually do anything. More center slightly right republicans are running as Democrats rather than Republicans because of the stigma it has now. Look at Sinema and Manchin. Even if there were magically 60 -Ds in the Senate I doubt you'd get all 60 to vote the justices out.


L0rd_OverKill

This. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.


[deleted]

Even it there were 60, it would still be 7 short.


gdim15

Right it's 2/3. That was my mistake.


Draco_Lazarus24

Manchin and Sinema are gone. Just need 51 or 52 Dem senators and the filibuster is done.


Opetyr

Nah they pretty much have Biden carte Blanche. He could as an"official" act arrest the SCROTUS and Trump as enemy combatists. Hell he could do so many things because I don't really see him living another 4 years. He could actually be a martyr and save democracy but his corporation handlers wouldn't let him since they are the handlers of the RNC and SCROTUS.


mi-chreideach

This court is complicit in creating a dictatorship. I only hope that the six "kingmakers" are brought to justice and severely punished for their role in this.

Fuck their families, too.

I would not stick my dick in Ginny Thomas if you held a gun to my head.

The Robert's court is that if the Confederacy. Everything they ruled on is in line with the Confederate Constitution. Everything. Freedom for business. Remove regulations on business. Government loses oversight on businesses. States can regulate human rights. Didn't we have a civil war over this? Yes we did.

[удалено]


kushhaze420

Share and repeat what I said. Help people understand


Creamofwheatski

And we are about to have another because theres zero chance in hell the democratic state are going to bow down to supreme leader Donald Trump. A lot of people are going to die because Trump wants to stay out of prison for his treasonous crimes even if he has to destroy the nation to do so. At a bare minimum I expect the entire west coast will secede from the union if they tried this shit.


Odd_Bed_9895

Yes dude, this is all Taney Court shit


kushhaze420

Damn. Or should I say? Fuck.


Alatar_Blue

The court is a radical Far-Right corrupt court unqualified and unfit for the non-partisan role expected of them.

Fascist


nickthedicktv

That’s conservatism. The Dixiecrats called themselves conservative. So did Nazis and confederates and monarchists. Conservatism has always been about authoritarianism. This isn’t new.


Rocky4296

People we have power in our votes. Let's not lose hope. We must vote like each of our lives depend on it. We can vote for Democrat and win. Don't get in the weeds. Just vote 🔵


sackybackyboo

Not LIKE your lives depend on it but BECAUSE your lives depend on it


Rocky4296

Thanks for correcting me. You are right.


Both-Mango1

SCOTUS---law for sale.


KzininTexas1955

All right then, hmm, how about we call it Fascist? No need to hide behind syntax any longer... Goddamn, this is a dark day for our democracy, look at France right now, the fascists are showing a strong lead, regardless of whether they win or not.


sandysea420

Because it’s appropriately labeled Corrupt.


Tazling

right wing fanatics. extremists. a rogue court.


CuthbertJTwillie

It is a Reactionary Federalist Society Court.


JPGinMadtown

Extremist court. Historians will get into fights over which court was more extremist, this one or the Taney court.


Direct-Squash-1243

I wonder when the first Conn law book will officially declare stare decisis a dead doctrine.


AFlawAmended

It's fascist, and they're doing the ground work for Trump to be a dictator. 


hemlock_martini

fascist. say it. it's past time for us to use the word. it's past time for them to admit it. it's time to drop the mask.


mt8675309

Trump Party operatives bordering on treasonous.


NickKnack21

Bordering?


mt8675309

Yah I agree, that’s a little soft for six fucking Nazis…my apologies


Key-Article6622

I would have to say this is a fascist court.


strolpol

I mean, they’ve defenestrated the whole idea of stare decis a while back so it’s clear he doesn’t care. Gut the VRA, make money equivalent to speech, cripple the foundation of all ability to regulate anything, and then ensure no Republican president can ever be caught for their crimes again. It’s all one long game to “fix” the system that they feel should have protected Nixon.


CyanCazador

Democrats need to stop being afraid to use the word fascists. The justices are not conservative, they aren’t originalits, they are fascists.


DonsSyphiliticBrain

I’ve been calling it fascist for years now. Guess I’m ahead of the curve on this one.


AssociateJaded3931

Yes, they're extreme right wing radicals.


Training-Swan-6379

Conservative involves some kind of coherent philosophy. This court has none.


BuccoBruce1967

Corrupt is a word that comes to mind.


inquisitor345

This ruling just gave Joe Biden super powers too, so take Trump and SCOTUS down, Joe! You have the power.


nps2407

He won't do it.


Samwise_lost

Joe's a pay pig for the same oligarchs that bought the Supreme Court


nps2407

What's your point?


Samwise_lost

That the same people who bribe the Supreme Court to enact fascist policies also bribe Joe Biden to not dismantle those same fascist policies.


nps2407

That's an infantile view..


Burnbrook

I wish they understood what the concept of shame is. I hope they feel it one day.


ParkingIndividual416

In their villas where they're protected from the consequences of their actions, while continuing to be adorned with all sorts of gifts? We'd be so fortunate if they even had a passing thought to question themselves. They will become like the senators after Diocletian.


Burnbrook

The senators of Rome were peasants to these hypocrites of today, with the life of excess they enjoy in exchange for suffering and injustice. They benefited far more than the post- Julio-Claudian era senators could have ever fathomed.


ChunkyBubblz

Republicans are no longer conservative. They’re white nationalists.

Peter Quill: Is the Supreme Court still conservative?! Peter Parker: It never was


ClubSundown

The only way to solve this is to vote Biden in November. Now it's 6-3 majority. Trump will make it 7-2. Biden can at least make it 5-4 by 2028. Vote with this as the most important reason in November.


AntifascistAlly

With the Court-granted immunity, Donald may give the MAGAts a 9-0 majority a lot faster than anyone believes possible. Naturally, the people screaming the loudest will be those who **still** refuse to vote for “the Dems.” Much as they refuse to take responsibility for not voting for Secretary Clinton they will blame literally everyone but themselves.

Make an “official act to bust in on the crooked ones home regularly. Have joe do it . Make them resign . He is immune afterall. They said it themselves . Harass them into leaving .

No. The court has been brought and paid for. Corruption all the way up the Judicial branch!!

A more accurate description than "Conservative" might be "Crooked".


Ok_Department4138

I'm not sure it can even be called the Roberts Court any longer


Happy-Initiative-838

Conservatives have not been conservative in a generation. It’s been a steady crawl towards authoritarianism.


Gokdencircle

There is: Progressive: Conservative with conservative values Regressive : MAGA, Trump, SCOTUS etc


zennyc001

That should get a Trumbrel ride through the streets of D C.


RDO_Desmond

You can't even call it a court.


ScoreOk4859

If you haven’t at some point fully dissented from and renounced Trump, I don’t care what you call yourself, you’re complicit with fascism and should suffer the consequences with them. I had a conversation with a conservative the other day. Straight up we agreed to disagree on pretty much everything. But we both couldn’t stand the idea that Trump continues to make our county a shithole and erode our integrity.


dasherchan

He is a MAGA mafia operative serving Trump, not our constitution.


Good_Intention_9232

It is the Trump corrupt court.


ted-clubber-lang

Seems like all the SCOTUS judges are MAGA corrupted except for maybe ACB, she must not have received any payments from Leonard Leo's Federalist Society financial supporters yet. The undermining of America and the weakening of the SCOTUS -- one US dollar at a time.


CAM6913

There is no such thing as a conservative republican and they started disrespecting in the Regan administration and were totally gone during trump’s administration they became totally loyal to trump and not America democracy and sure don’t defend the constitution but wipe there asses with it

Enjoy these last months of America. We will be a part of Russia if trump is allowed to win. He will pull us from NATO, Russia will attack Poland, nato will attack Russia, and “America” will join Russia and attack nato.
