This month, an independent study of decisions by the Roberts Court revealed that two-thirds of its rulings favor wealthy powers over middle-income and poor people.
The Roberts 6 Gang are part of the Trump Revenge, Retribution, and Extortion gang. They care NOTHING about "justice". They are Bought and Paid for by the wealthiest and rule over and over and over and over.......in FAVOR of Trump and the wealthy and the corporations who OWN them. This Roberts 6 court has to be torn down to the studs and re-built to what it is supposed to be.... And every member of the Roberts 6 held accountable for their rulings against America and Americans.
I think that they should be placed on house arrest and serve life sentences along with the current U.S. President who they would not allow the lower courts to sentence, then distribute their wealth to enrich the communities that were brought to suffer from boondoggles, like the Mountain Valley Pipeline and corporate bankruptcies. We don't need to waste any more time
They all must be made to pay for their crimes. And using their money to pay for their crimes is exactly what should happen. Not let them escape their responsibility for their crimes......
They are actually the product of Mitch McConnell's willingness to be the Village Idiot--he refused to encourage the Senate to remove Trump insisting that the "courts" would take care of an obvious villain. Thanks, Jerk.
As a counterpoint to the lamentation about the Supremes, we would like to lift up some true heroes: all the justices at every level who have fought back. Small but significant victories have been won, and they add up. We can certainly continue to talk about the corruption of the Roberts 6, but that won't change anything. These non-supreme judges often risk their careers, and even their lives. Let's give them some credit, shall we?
I suggest Judge Wynns of the Fourth Circuit Court whose ruling against the Mountain Valley Pipeline was over turned by S.C.O.T.U.S. in favor of Equitrans.
I would like to hear how the Supremes differentiate between a "king" and a "unitary executive." Also, how "unitary executive" squares with "separation of powers."

Well this oath is interesting indeed. Does ignoring this oath to serve Trump make them accessories to the crimes committed. I think all of these people should have to answer for their betrayal when the Democrats take back the House and Senate in the mid-term elections. Impeachment at the very least. Prison cells next to Trump so they can talk about "the good old days?"
I dislike, to say the least, reading comments from Justice Roberts. Those comments always seem to be not only false but sanctimonious. I'm restraining myself since it's mid-morning where I live and I'm choosing to not rant, although it's tempting. Thanks again, Jim, and to everyone who posts.
What sort of equipment do our Supreme Court Justices need to only hear the arguments from the rich and the racists and fascists, and not hear or see the rest of us
So glad to see that I'm not the only writer to use "bovine excrement" as a polite response to misinformation. Speaking truth to power is the only way to stop this administration's actions. Maybe actually saying "bullshit" would be more effective.
What boggles my mind is that most American voters voted for and elected a convicted felon for our President of The United States of America. And, a convicted felon who has not served his time. This is what most Americans want? I have noticed quite a few of my country persons leaving the U.S. for other world countries in which to resettle. At least one of these is in my family. Quite a few American citizens are displeased with the current federal administration. Is it any wonder? It seems to me that America has lost respect worldwide. God help us. I pray for peace daily. Peace starts here.
Jim, would you include in one of your upcoming newsletters the Lewis Powell strategic plan to take over the Supreme Count? As you know, the plan worked. But a lot of us out here don't know that scheme. I, for one, would like to have it in writing so I can send it around!
But even that damning fact that 2 of 3 SCOTUS rulings favor the rich does not tell how welded SCOTUS to the Super-rich. Generally the 1 in 3 rulings not favoring the rich are minor league decisions. If you were to weight decisions as to economic-political impact we would see that nearly every really important decision goes to Musk, Bezo and the rest of the klepto-oligarchs.

Once incarcerated it's called "paying your debt to society" yes?

Jim Hightower, you are great!!

Thanks, Hollisters. We get so would up in our fears and anxieties that
we forget the good that is around us.
Justice for life: also bovine excrement!

?What to do to hold SCOTUS responsible for their actions?
They are the top of the 'pyramid'. They are responsible for the
mess we're in today - giving d.j.t. complete freedom to do anything
he wants WITH NO CONSEQUENCES.
I'm tired of hearing the details of how bd things are. Who is making
workable, effective suggestions for what us Ordinary Janes and Joes
do to make an actual difference?????
Congress is made up of cowards, and it looks as though SCOTUS
may suffer from the same dangerous illness. Who is calling them
out? Who is responsible for pointing the finger, and saying "YOU
are responsible for this mess, so put your butts back in your seats
and GET TO WORK. If you do, you might, just might get to keep
your backside in the chair - not likely, but . . . maybe

Let's get 50% of the citizens in the US to hand- write a letter to each of the
men on the Court. Handwritten. I know it sounds simplistic, but it is VERY
effective. And make a National Day of Phone Calls to each of these people.
(Ideally it'd be once a week until they got the message, but we all say
'I am too busy to do that'. So make it one day. The volume would make itself
felt - by the Court and by d.j.t. and accomplices.
I'd like to include Justice Barrett as one who deserves a hand-written letter, too, since she often joins with the five men in their decisions.

The only equipment needed is a grease gun, to keep their palms well lubricated for bribes

Will we ever see term limits for the Supreme Court justices?
I tend to look at them as politicians in robes.

Jim, I prefer Bovine Scat to Bovine Excrement. It can be abbreviated B.S.!
