On to the supreme court

Next phase of delegitimizing federal institutions attack Justices whom don't bend the knee


a recent Sotomayor dissent in which she wrote that the administration had made a habit of turning to the Supreme Court after losses in lower courts.

"Claiming one emergency after another, the government has recently sought stays in an unprecedented number of cases, demanding immediate attention and consuming limited court resources in each," Sotomayor wrote. "And with each successive application, of course, its cries of urgency ring increasingly hollow." She added that the Supreme Court was "partly to blame" because it "has been all too quick to grant the government's" requests.

Classic


Obama stating
with all due deference to separation of powers” then he disagreed with the ruling ..


Trumps attacks against our judicial system daily or
TRUMP. suggesting bias and suggesting they recuse themselves based on a dissenting option. Because he is a victim


Are not remotely the same but please continue to see the actions of others as the same as Trumps while completely ignoring context and past comments about the courts

Weak spin.

a recent Sotomayor dissent in which she wrote that the administration had made a habit of turning to the Supreme Court after losses in lower courts.

Ironic that a Supreme Court Justice would criticize the established path to her doing her job.

"Claiming one emergency after another, the government has recently sought stays in an unprecedented number of cases, demanding immediate attention and consuming limited court resources in each," Sotomayor wrote. "And with each successive application, of course, its cries of urgency ring increasingly hollow." She added that the Supreme Court was "partly to blame" because it "has been all too quick to grant the government's" requests.

More irony that a Progressive Justice, appointed on political grounds as all are now appointed, and who adjudicates via the notion that she can decide by applying her view of social justice (which is why she was nominated) rather than the meaning of constitutional text, that she blames the Court for being political.

You and Trump have a disagreement--as you would say "no surprise."

The reason for higher courts, is to correct mistakes of lower courts. If anyone know this is should be Sotomayor, who was routinely overruled, usually unanimously so, when people appealed her idiotic decisions.

Her publicly stated racist positions (female Latinas have superior life experience to everyone else, which explains why so many women risk their lives to immigrate to Mexico), would render her unable to serve on a jury, yet there she is on the supreme court. Hooray!

Love the non relevant topic once again you have no issues with Trump avoiding checks and balances.. and no issues of the court allowing the administration to circumvent the process
heres some info

ORDINARILY, the Supreme Court is a tribunal of last resort. Only after exhausting avenues for relief in the lower courts do parties tend to turn to America’s highest court—and, about 99 times out of 100, the justices refuse to take up their cases.

counts 21 times Mr Trump has made unusual requests to the justices in the first 30 months of his presidency. That is compared to eight requests during the 192 months of the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations. again context is lost when it comes to defending Trump


I bet this is ok as well For the past 18 months, Ginni Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, sent White House with memos and suggestions about which people to fire — and who should replace them. as not loyal

it’s not non relevant. from your post, sotomayor is whining that people are seeking justice at the supreme court. she has been wrong as often as any judge who has ever lived, she’s living, breathing evidence of why we need the ability to appeal. m

sure.

as a judge, she had a large number of opinions unanimously overruled by the supreme court. which means that everyone from Antonin Scalia to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and everyone in between, said she was wrong on the law.

on race, she said that a female latina, by virtue of her unique life experience, would make a better judge than anyone else.

She’s a poor jurist and a bigot.

not directly related to the current attack on the courts

but found this interesting in a current free speech case involving support of illegal immigrants

Gorsuch to the trump Admin Lawyer


Justice Gorsuch noted that being in the country illegally is not itself a crime, so why is encouraging someone to stay a crime?

at least he didn't threaten them...

"Chuck Schumer’s statement threatening Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch earlier Wednesday in a speech on the steps of the Supreme Court was so appalling that Chief Justice John Roberts has issued a public rebuke of the Senate minority leader."

This is a direct & dangerous threat to the U.S. Supreme Court by Schumer. If a Republican did this, he or she would be arrested, or impeached. Serious action MUST be taken NOW!” the president tweeted


The “whirlwind”? you won't know What hit you”? Really that's yours and the rights interpretation of threats of violence?

A political threat maybe

And the chief justice comments .. threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.”

Seems the justice needs to refresh Trump and Republicans what constitutes a crime,, with all the guilty verdicts this administration has they would know the difference

Funny how silent he is with Trumps attacks on other seated members ..or the judiciary in general...

Then you Republicans historical amnesia

Trump Warns: It Would Be ‘Very Bad’ if My Police, Biker Gang Fans Decided to Get ‘Tough’ on My Opponents

Let me guess just Hyperbole. But Shummers comments couldn't be Hyperbole
