    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.

        The Dems finally figured out it’s incredibly stupid to keep fighting and pushing upward when it just results in a net loss for us. Took them a surprisingly long time to figure it out, and we lost a lot of rights, including trans rights, in the progress.

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

    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

        Because he runs the federal government right now, and the federal government has power over the states, so he will punish them.

      This is gonna be awesome when it starts happening.

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

      They are halfway done. In five months.

      Stop lying to yourselves, the only way democracy survives this is with coordinated violent resistance. In any case, the USA is toast, it’s gone.

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

    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

    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

        I believe above user was subtly referencing other causes for personnel vacancies like being greeted by Luigi’s of this world.

    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.

    • Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    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

      They have. They did. We’re done.
