And the lies and misinformation work. Which is going to be harder to get a handle on unless Dems and the Media understand they just can't hope people figure it out. You see the lies posted even on this thread time in and time out.

Here is a good point.

A good point based on polls?

Sorry, but I'd rather wait until elections where people actually vote.

The supreme court will sort itself out in due time. They can choose to drag themselves in the mud and be ridiculed and sidelined or serve justice. Their choice.
What does this even mean? Their edicts are law. They can be ridiculed but so what? And how will they be sidelined?

budaatum:

So, dump wins in the money stakes but not in policies? I can gladly live with that since their money does not pass legislation. Besides, they do illegal stuff to get that money, and the law would be on their case to help them spend it eventually, so what exactly is it that they gain in the end?

I do not accept that "Congress controls the contours of the Supreme Court .... what cases it takes, is controlled by Congress". You are going to need to educate me how Congress controls the supreme court please, so I can understand why Congress did not dictate re Roe v Wade.

Congress can't dictate how they rule, but they can dictate the structure of the court and it's jurisdiction outside of a few cases outlined in the constitution.
A lot of this stuff is in the weeds even so for Americans. Here is a good article:

Voting doesn't change the fact that lies and untruths propagate at lighting speed, seem to be unchecked and take root. A country run on lies isn't a healthy country. Again voting doesn't change what ails our country.

So, Congress can't dictate how they rule nor what cases they take on, just as I thought.

I so love the fact that Biden has left the Supreme Court alone and not padded it with liberals, which he might do in his second term. You already got magas lying that he weaponised the DOJ, so imagine what they'd say if he weaponised the SC, and how many Americans might believe it too.

There is no way the majority of Americans buy the magashit dump peddles. That was proven at the last election where he lost, and I hope it's proved at the next election when he loses again.

So, why do we care what they think over protecting the rights of vulnerable communities, like women? It's white privilege over and over again. We should tailor our rights because of the lies they tell themselves? That's what Democrats in Congress are currently doing. That's what Judge Merchan did for Trump in his case. Instead of jailing him like any other defendant for breaking the gag order, he gave him privilege after privilege. How did that change his behavior?

God, this is the gobbledygook that comes out of your mouth.
The only thing that you said that made sense is I did go to Harvard, and even there, you'd fail for this kind of reasoning. My fault, you'd have 0 chance of getting any kind of admission. This is some brain dead nonsense.

Bemeruca: During the period white people controlled our rights, lynched us, beat us, incarcerated us for nothing at all and made sure we struggled financially, black families were together. I'm not saying it was because of the fact white people controlled our rights, I'm just using that time as a reference for some reason.

Yes, you went to Harvard which is a sad thing. You must have acquired a degree in victimhood.

I don't think it's the majority but a good amount. It's loud and everywhere. And the Media is concerned that if they don't cover it they'll be called out. And by covering, you give it life. So it influences all the reporting. It's like working the refs repeatedly so you get favorable calls. It's a Maga/Republican strategy.

I showed you polling about what Americans believe about the Economy. Most of it is inconsistent with the Truth. I hear it from people I know.
How does that happen? The Media. Around 45% of the country will vote for Trump in the next election. That says it all.

It doesn't have to. We the people will change his behaviour for him by not electing him.

Judge Merchan not jailing dump is a good move. In fact, I'd be surprised if Merchan jails dump on sentencing, and I'd be even more surprised if Merchan jails dump and Biden does not have him released within 24 hours because it's the smart thing to do.

When they go low I would rather we go very much higher, is the difference here.

budaatum:

You words were, "what cases it takes, is controlled by Congress". And that is not what I find to be true.
Yes, that is what jurisdiction means, outside of the ones dictated by the Constitution as I stated.

Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution defines the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction. The clause creates two types of Supreme Court jurisdiction that apply to different categories of cases. First, the clause grants the Court original jurisdiction over “Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party.” 1 The constitutional grant of original jurisdiction over such cases means that they may be filed directly in the Supreme Court rather than reaching the Court on appeal from another court. The Supreme Court has held that its original jurisdiction flows directly from the Constitution and is therefore self-executing without further action by Congress.2
Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 also provides for Supreme Court appellate jurisdiction over all other cases subject to federal court jurisdiction, “with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.” 3 Known as the “Exceptions Clause,” this provision allows the Court to review both decisions of the inferior federal courts and final judgments of state courts, if authorized by Congress.4 The Supreme Court has generally indicated that the constitutional grant of appellate jurisdiction is not self-executing—meaning that Congress must enact legislation to empower the Court to hear cases on appeal—and Congress has exercised its power to implement the provision by granting the Supreme Court appellate jurisdiction over a subset of the cases included in the constitutional grant. Congress and the Court have also construed the Exceptions Clause to provide Congress significant control over the Court’s appellate jurisdiction and proceedings.5

Budaa, you're making this personal. My world involves a lot of educated people where I don't encounter the types of arguments made on this site by certain people. I'm less concerned less about me and more so concerned about the corrosive effects the large scale propaganda has on a public that, for lack of a better way of saying it, is less educated and less capable of deciphering such. I believe in the UK, you have rules which ensure or try to ensure 'fairness' in the broadcasting space. The Us has no such rules.


budaatum:

1.) Biden can't have him released. He has no control over State crimes.
2.) If he could, though he can't, why would you consider that a smart move?
3.) What evidence have you seen going higher works? Did it work in the Hillary v. Trump race? Has it worked since Trump left office? My argument is simple, enforce the laws and use the power available. Nothing in that is going low.

You made this personal by assuming the majority of Americans are not smart like you and will fall for maga nonsenses. Me, I have the personal faith that the majority of Americans are not that stupid, as confirmed by the last election and hopefully by the next.

US has the silly notion of freedom of speech, and guns, both of which we definitely thankfully don't have. Would you like to migrate here perhaps?

1) If I were Biden, I'd beg Merchan.

2) The humiliation of dump being forgiven by Biden would be divine.

3) Yes it did work. Dump did one single term and got dumped.

As for enforcing the law, that is not Biden's duty, and him doing so would be an abuse of power. Besides, the law, slow as it may seem, is being enforced already.

I know its wrong to talk ill of the dead, did Alex Jones shoot them for them to get such an award.Shoild it have been him setting them up for a luxurious life by his speech.
There was no justice in that fine, the aim was to silence him. A few days ago he reported that feds want to shut down his network. Precisely because its election season. Steve Bannon has also been ordered to report to jail on July1 for 4 months. Timing is crucial because he will go off air 4 months before elections.
Trump about to be sentenced 4 days before the comvention, already a facebook message from a cousin of one juror had revealed the guilty verdict
I made comment below a few weeks ago


used the word likely because many recent cases always go against trump allies.
Rudy Giuliani. Bankrupted by two women caught on video counting. votes after everyone else was sent home.
Kudlow. Jailed for 4 months for refusing to appear before J6 committee.His appeal is on the court roster , so he will have served sentence before he gets acquitted.
Hunter. Plea deal scuttled by judge.
trump. Fined for defamation and also by judge Engoron.
Fox . Paid Dominion out of court.
Alex jones. Excessively fined and bankrupted by victims who will never get paid
Trump allies, most are indicted for not accepting election results.
J6ers. Many languish in jail over a riot .
And many other allies bludgeoned by lawfare.
Justice is two sided.

Instead of letting them grieve their losses, he intentionally lied just as you do here, and rallied his troop to verbally shoot them too, and is now paying for it.

Seriously, I doubt you have him on your telly. If you did you'd know how sick he is. Actually, scrap that last bit. If you knew how sick he is you'd likely know how sick you are.

The HBO host encouraged these activists, applauding their idealism as they dismantled their encampments and absconded back to their internships at Goldman Sachs. The world would be poorer, just like their parents who dropped $300,000 on sending their kids to these idiot factories. They picked a cause, yes, but they “missed the boat by a f**king mile.”

I dont expect anything much from it, but if true, the NY appeals court gets a good reason to dismiss the case without Merchan looking bad.

embarassedBudaatum, I beg. Now call me a genius.

Los Angeles United School District officials must face a lawsuit from workers alleging the district vaccine mandate violated employees’ constitutional due process rights, a divided Ninth Circuit said Friday.

The district court wrongly dismissed the suit by applying a 1905 US Supreme Court



At this stage, we must accept Plaintiffs’ allegations that the vaccine does not prevent the spread of COVID-19 as true,” Judge Ryan Nelson wrote. The opinion characterizes that aspect of the ruling as preliminary, and something that would be argued at a lower court.

The plaintiffs alleged that the vaccines do not prevent someone from becoming infected with COVID-19 and characterized it as a treatment rather than a “traditional vaccine.”

Only a matter of time before lawsuits start flying off the shelves.
