The thrust of Alito’s dissent is: Sure, maybe the Trump administration was going to defy our unambiguous ruling and illegally deport people to a Salvadoran gulag in the dead of night. But our court MAY have cut some corners in racing to stop that from happening, which is just as bad if not worse!

1. WOW, I have no law degree or years of judgeship experience............

but millions had figured out the intent of what shithole musk republicans will do and that they have NO respect for the rule of law.

2. He may have felt differently if he was the one being sent to a prison on El Salvador

3. How does a scumbag like this rise to the highest court in the land?

5. Opus dei, heritage foundation, leonard leo, harlan crow.

7. and unfortunately there are many more where he came from

putting their sick ideology ahead of the law, ahead of the Constitution.

and don't forget the Federalist Society.. Leo's baby.

16. Yes, thank you. I knew I was forgetting one.

6. Secret Society Presidents

You know, massive wealth accumulation for The Few, death, debt, destruction for everyone else.
Mission Accomplished

14. They've now gone far beyond making the rich richer. That was merely a vehicle.

The very wealthy helped the regime get here, but now they're as imprisoned as we are. And going ape shit over the crazed tariff crap. You think Jeff Bezos signed up for having most of what he's hawking on the interwebs more than doubling in price overnight? No, this isn't a money grubbing scheme anymore. This is ideology. This is about remaking America into some theocratic fascist nightmare. Nothing less.

15. Ends/Means then?

[MadameButterfly]

17. When you make a deal with the devil....

Russian oligarchs falling out of windows.
The architects of the French Revolution got the guillotine
Night of the Long Knives where Hitler murdered many of his allies
These guys shouldn't have skipped history class
Maybe they shouldn't be trying to destroy liberal arts educations

[paleotn]

19. Bingo. When will they ever learn.

18. Its a miracle we had Democratic Senators

from ND, SD, NE, and where was the 4th?
That doesn't happen anymore. I'm guessing they were Blue Dog Democrats.

4. He's a disgrace

[nuxvomica]

8. They said states removing Trump from the ballot would create chaos

Somehow we got chaos anyway.

10. His wife made him say that. nt

[JohnnyRingo]

12. So he's saying... He hasn't a chance to hear all the good points yet.

The SC can rule that using armed checkpoints at all state borders is illegal without hearing Stephen Miller give reasons for it.

[paleotn]

13. Alito is Roland Freisler reincarnated.

I'm hoping he leaves this plane of existence in a similar manner.



That's not hyperbole. These people and the nazi regime are one and the same. They're all cut from the same cloth. When this is over, they deserve the same fate.
