Congress passed the laws. Previous presidents signed them. The Supreme Court has now declared they can be ignored whenever this particular president chooses (but not Biden)...
Add to that, Trump this week managed to reverse a vote in the Senate by bullying two Senators to change their minds. This was after the vote was complete and recorded.
It seems neither Congress nor the Senate in your country has any authority or control over the president.
Yes, the SCOTUS is utterly out of control and has given djt unfettered rights to claim himself to be more than he is a temporary occupant of the oval office something needs to be done about the Supreme Court quickly before we all end up as slaves
I see your concern when decisions feel far-reaching, it can raise real questions about balance and limits of power. At the same time, these moments often push important conversations about accountability and how institutions can evolve without losing their independence.
What kind of changes do you think would address those concerns while still protecting the Court’s role?
Nigel,those of us who are paying attention are concerned. However we are a very small % of the population. The "Nazi" takeover of the US is almost complete. Apathetic americans,corrupt,gutless,complicit news sources and a Democratic party that has become almost useless are all to blame.
The Roberts court is the most RACIST, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ILLEGAL COURT we have seen in the past 236 years (length of SCOTUS). The law is nothing but to be twisted into a pretzel, the Constitution is WRONG so ignore it, & allow this MEGALOMANIC CRIMINAL TO DO ANYTHING HE WANTS.
WHY?
Because he wants what they want-a pure white nation with only WHITE men voting.
They have already killed over 12 women denying them healthcare when they needed it.
The Roberts court needs to be STOPPED, stripped of it’s payoffs, its profits to destroy democracy
"his administration faced the rabid, racist anxieties of a white populace terrified by the prospect of domestic racial integration. To solve this manufactured crisis, the U.S. government seriously explored a grotesque geopolitical solution: mass deportation."
Democrats must redo the Corrupt Supreme Court after November 2026. People like Clarence Thomas need to be removed and prosecuted. This court is beyond belief. Trump's bitches.
The Democrats are already denouncing the wins in the primaries by social Democrat-type candidates. They could win the midterms big time, and yet establishment Democrats are shooting the party in the foot.
I can understand why the nonreligious members of the Supreme Court would vote in this way; but Amy Barrett is reportedly Roman Catholic, and this vote could constitute a grave sin due to its obvious implications.
As I’ve no doubt said before, they are running scared. They are going to do everything they can to mucky the water between now and November. Then they’ll start creating their strategic withdrawal from the court knowing that all 6 of them are officially toast! And John Roberts gets the credit for all of it. He is a manipulative disingenuous person. He has poisoned the court along with his lackeys, at least 3 of which got their seats dishonestly. Just because he’s more slick than Alito who is a complete child or Thomas who is just a pig, doesn’t mean he’s not as responsible as any chief justice. History will not be kind to any of them.
Meanwhile, we don’t have to put up with it! We can use state laws and state sovereignty to charge any crime occurring in the State. They can also set their rules. Since these guys are violating the constitution in plain sight I don’t believe we are obligated to follow their rulings. Again, I think we need to revisit the decision adopted in the 50’s that they are the final word. That alone violates our constitution as does the electoral college. It’s all Republican bullshit. Time to put a stop to all of it. And we need a new process for nominations and selection of justices.
There are angry district and appellate judges who are increasingly fed up with the SCOTUS 6 running roughshod over the law. So are senior and retired judges; they are more outspoken.
I meant to add that our founders were focused on self government by “we the people “. Remember that because that is how we deal with the illegitimate justices on the SC and how we abolish the electoral process too! Both contradict self governance!
The entire Republican party has taken a hard right turn, they barely control all 3 branches of government yet they act as if they won huge majorities and the presidency in a landslide! They about to find out in November that regular Americans are pissed off! Let's all get out and vote in numbers like yoube never seen. We need a public rejection of these fascists!
It is not usuel that those judges are for D.J. Trump because it is Trump's pick. So D.J. Trump does care what ancestors did establish in the USA constitution. He runs the USA country at is will.
So it seems nobody is objecting to what he has done so far to the people of the USA. It will be
a big nightmare for you the people of the USA. So someone has to wake up or else or you will be at the mercy of President forever.
Volcanically angry, yes, and searching every day, every minute for the next action that I can take that might make a difference — b.rad
ps something is unbelievably wrong and off with regard to the actions of the administration and the Republicans — they are ALL wrong AND destructive, and more than 60% of the people know it. It’s trending to 70% in my reading . . .
Most of this shit should not stand for a day — not an hour — but it continues. It is clearly the result of pressure from an unhinged tiny very rich minority, and there are therefore many times more than that minority who see the orders and know what is going on. We need a crack in the edifice to shine a light on that flow . . . Epstein would be good, but as stalwart women have noted, what is public is more than enough . . . ! What will it take ?!
No, it should not terrify you. That is a silly notion. That is how the constitution is designed. We are not a direct democracy we are a republic. There is a distinct difference between the two. The Founders were very concerned the former and chose the latter for a good reason.
Add to that, Trump this week managed to reverse a vote in the Senate by bullying two Senators to change their minds. This was after the vote was complete and recorded.

Be afraid - be very afraid.

Itis time to develop a strategy to retaliate against Alitto and his gang of "Nazis".

Msax,what else is new. The Dems are not fighters and have obviously benefitted by the AI revolution and the stocks they hold. They are sellouts.
It makes me sad and feeling defeated.
Max, please take a deep breath, a break if you need. Only thing that ever made change was sustained effort. Take heart from those with you on this.
I can understand why the nonreligious members of the Supreme Court would vote in this way; but Amy Barrett is reportedly Roman Catholic, and this vote could constitute a grave sin due to its obvious implications.
She is not Catholic anymore. She sold her soul to an ass named Trumple!
Maz,I think AB has forgot that as have the 57% of Catholics who voted for Trump.
They will be very harshly JUDGED at the pearly gates by refusal to enter. Head on DOWN way down to a much hotter climate.

Time to refuse to be governed!!!!!

Please see my reply above. Has promsises.
Liz,great post and you are 100% right.

True. Fortunately, even some Trump-nominated judges are ruling against his extreme measures. I assume they value their law licenses.
If the Democrats don’t pack the living lights out of this court, we will all deserve what we get in the end.
Terror is useless...it won't change a damned thing or force this government to take due course.. evidently.
Depends on who is dispensing the terror. Please thimk about it!
I will.
Thank you! I am serious, please think about it.
Not terrified.
This is the land of the brave.

6 UNBIASED judges following the Constitution, guided by common sense…
On what planet?🤔
“Unbiased” as used here = racist.
Common sense. What's that?
