  The supreme court only matters because we believe in it. States could just… choose not to follow their instructions.

    Trump has been doing it all year so why not

  I don’t trust them either.

    Yeah. As much as I want them to keep fighting, it’s probably for the better they don’t in this case. I’ve realized that the GOP want people to keep appealing and have it go straight to SCOTUS.

      I wouldn't be surprised if this SCOTUS starts handing down "rulings" for Null v Null cases - completely unsolicited and unprompted bans and overturns of settled precedent. In other words, literally lawmaking from the bench, the thing that fascist conservatives have been disingenuously railing against for years.

    Trust is earned, they must have heard that as “burned.”

  Why wouldn’t everyone just trust a corrupt, illegitimate, unelected, unaccountable, fascist organization that shows open contempt for the US Constitution, rule of law, democracy, and basic ethics? /s

  Well… expect more of this about a lot of things. We’re in the endgame now.

    This endgame is different than last weeks? Don’t kid yourself.

  Gotta wait until the SC has some… personnel vacancies, if you get my drift.

    There’s four justices over the age of 70 (one is Sotomayor). Not that age means much in regards to mortality when one has the resources that they do

  Then they’ve already won.

    A SCOTUS ruling could potentially make the outcome worse, widen the scope and enshrine it as a national precedent.

      Right. That was my addled minded point. They’ve already won. Thank you for expanding on it, since I very clearly missed the explanation. Whoops

  What’s wrong with them? It’s the supreme court, not the untrustworthy non-supreme court.

• Zachariah@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Bummer. They since the outcome would be the same, they should make the SC go on record to rule on it. Put it in the history books.

    Knowing this Supreme Court, it could totally be worse than the same outcome.

    They could also deliberately go out of their way to make it worse.
