Wenn eine Kandidatin für das #Bundesverfassungsgericht mit einer Kampagne abgeschossen werden kann, dann ist das Bundesverfassungsgericht bereits beschädigt.

Im Nachgang zu tun, als ob nichts wäre, und jetzt brav eine neue Riege von Kandidierenden durchzuwinken, die allesamt den Unionsparteien genehm ist, wird Schule machen und exakt wie in den USA enden.

Wer lieber naiv die Staatstragenden spielt, statt sich durchzusetzen, verwandelt das Bundesverfassungsgericht in dieselbe, würdelose Art von Steigbügel des Faschismus, wie die des #SCOTUS.

Ein Kadaver wie die #SPD ist allerdings zu nichts mehr fähig als zum pflichtschuldigen Preisen der ihr diktierten Kandidierenden als "respektabel" und "würdig".

#SupremeCourt Allows #Mississippi Law on Children’s Use of #SocialMedia, for Now

The Supreme Court’s precedents have protected the #FirstAmendment rights of both children and social media sites.

Pssst. There's a special set of rules for traitor Trump.

Justice Kavanaugh just revealed an unfortunate truth about the Supreme Court https://www.vox.com/scotus/458172/supreme-court-brett-kavanaugh-netchoice-fitch-donald-trump

#SCOTUS *denies* emergency application from NetChoice seeking to put Mississippi's age-verification-for-social-media law back on hold. Kavanaugh concurs, noting that NetChoice is likely to prevail on the merits, but that he's denying relief anyway because of the equities (which he doesn't address):

I think many would agree that today we find ourselves in a situation where many things we hold dear and thought were settled over the past 75 or even 100 years are now under attack and threatened to be dismantled. I think about me as a person with disabilities. Many employment opportunities available through #DEI programs are now gone. Disability rights in general are being weakened because we need to bow to the needs and wants of business. And then there’s #SCOTUS nuking #Roe and almost certainly setting their sites on #SameSexMarriage next. And why stop there? Why not get rid of #Miranda and #Gideon while they’re at it? Perhaps even #Loving to boot? And also decide that maybe the #Confederacy was victorious after all? I think I’m in need of lunch and possibly an attitude adjustment.

Democracy Docket's newsletter is a must-read! They break down all the different illegal actions our president is committing and they track the lawsuits that are reining him in and making him abide by the law.

Man, I thought we'd never have to hear from her again: "the Christian right has spent decades redefinining disagreement as persecution."

"#DOJ absurdly says:there's no reason to stop its #RacialProfiling program bc racially profiled indivs can sue for damages for wrongful CBP/ #ICE detentions -lying! +its citation doesn't remotely dem it. CBP/ICE acts with near-total impunity.

#SCOTUS repeatedly: there're no damages for BP agents' uncon conduct. A CBP agent beat up a small bus owner at his bus, not crossing the border said: it'd COMPROMISE NAT SEC to let him sue the agent who illegally beat him up..."

The US Supreme Court has been asked to overturn the Obergefell ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. And just for funsies, interracial marriage could be next. Case conference set for Sept 29. #SCOTUS #MarriageEquality

What Mark said. It's understandable why so many are so wary of #SCOTUS. But even *if* there were five votes to revisit Obergefell (and I'm skeptical), this just *isn't* the case in which even those justices would want to do it.
