President Donald Trump has announced a pardon for former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, currently serving a nine-year jail sentence for her part in the plot to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
However, Trump’s clemency gesture carries no weight, as Peters, 70, was convicted on state charges, not federal charges.
see, that’s the neat thing. the supreme court doesn’t care what the constitution says any more than the president does.
Well, to be more specific, the supreme court majority doesn’t care. There are still members of the court who care very much. I have no idea how they’re coping right now.
No, they only care according to their own bias. The liberal judges have also been onboard with shredding the constitution on behalf of corporations & authoritarianism. They agree more than they disagree.
Oh, how so?
We need some new RBGs.
No.
We need people who know when to hang it up and let younger, better people take their place instead of taking the country back 50 years assuaging their stupid egos.
Early RBG? The female judge who helped apply FMLA to not just women but men also for child related issues? Or end game RBG who rode out a job decades too long and allowed a massive backslide in the very value she helped created early on in her career?
Hell no. She was a racist, pro-corporate narcissist. She can rot in hell.
I really hate how so many people have tried to rehabilitate and protect her image. After a career spent trampling indigenous rights, I refuse to see her record whitewashed.
Institutionalists like to ignore that the supreme court has always been an ideological entity, not some neutral interpretive one.
Dredd Scott might be the most infamous proof of this
