More propaganda spewing forth from chief scotus. It's a repeat of the same tired old rubbish that the orangeman has so successfully used to convince his minions. Brainwashing! A lie repeated a thousand times is still a lie. And the minions will believe because in their christian mindset they have been taught to believe and obey. The battle between good and evil is yet to come. We must be prepared.

The New Supremes.

(found in a bottle on a beach,

It's just dribble.)

We won't do you any favors

We don't work that way

But if our judgement pleases

Next week's ok,

For you to pay

Kaching

We're not mind readers

But we can catch a drift

Just throw it our way

Then watch the sudden shift,

To the distant right

Katching

We're only human

But make no mistake

We make things legal

Whether true or fake,

Or whatever we say

Katching

Thank you Mitch McConnell

You called the tune

Those original lyrics

Oh what a boon,

To the ones that count

Katching

No Federal regulations

That's so old hat

The Constitution's our playground

No arguing that,

Go stuff yourself.

Katching

We're only human

But make no mistake

We make things legal

Whether true or fake,

Or whatever we say

Katching

We put the con in Constitution.

Anonymous fer shure.

He has a lot of nerve demanding respect ! He and the rest of the posers have brought the former Supreme Court to the bottom of the barrel. Why should anyone rush to obey them ?

I read this story on Huff-Po and my comment was for John to just shut up and quit whining. Big baby brought every bit of opprobrium upon himself. He needs to own it.

No no. They can't own it because it would require looking in the mirror and seeing themselves. Or maybe the mirror is gone because there is no reflection, as in Dracula tales, or because they have become so vapid there is no reflection🦇🦇

Ya, Roberts can just shut up now.

They are the most corrupt court in the land and how they can expect that anyone believes what he is saying... well, that's just shows how corrupt they are! Taking from donnie's playbook: repeat, repeat, repeat until it is ingrained in maga brains.

You cannot and will not ever convince me they are not partisan, bought and sold by the right.

And the grifting??? Just like dear leader (ugh), this should NOT BE TOLERATED!

I'm an abortion rights activist in Kansas City. I first stood in front of a clinic in 1985. After the FACE Act passed in 1994, a lot of us stepped away from clinic defense because we didn't think we were needed. I came back to the work a few years ago and am part of a small group who stand against protesters on Saturday mornings at the local clinics. The people who harass patients are calling themselves abolitionists. They want abortion banned completely, no exceptions. This is where the anti-abortion movement is going, and with Trump in the White House again, there's no telling how far backwards this country can move without the protection of Roe. If you live in a state where abortion is legal, in an area where there are clinics, I urge you to volunteer either as a clinic escort, which is sanctioned by the clinic, or as a clinic defender, which is an independent private citizen. Some clinics don't want defenders, saying that we just make it worse and more chaotic. Maybe that's true, but I've never seen anyone go up and thank a protester. People thank us all the time.

The only “militias” that operate now are the cosplaying ones (think Gravy Seals). We know that’s not what our founders intended. Roberts and the 5 religious nuts brought this on themselves. No actual justice, no peace.

I’m sick of the Roberts court. I’m sick of a judiciary that makes nakedly partisan rulings to suit their sponsors. We’re no longer a nation of laws and equal protection for all.

Roberts has some nerve...clean up your own house, buddy. The beyond obvious bribery going on has people rightly pissed.

I agree that the court has misinterpreted the Second Amendment. It was designed to ensure farmers had their rifles to provide food, and so the militia could respond quickly to threats. That militia was composed of those same farmers. Today, the individual state militia is the National Guard. I do not see how the Second Amendment ever got to the point of allowing everyone to carry a gun openly.

Sad isn't it? The state where I reside has open carry laws, unpermitted and no requirements for registration. You can carry a loaded handgun in your vehicle without a permit except in restricted zones, like schools. Can't have loaded long guns in vehicles though. And this woman was arguing with me because I wrote "unfortunately" about allowing loaded handguns in vehicles. She didn't understand the unfortunately and went on and on about the necessity of carrying a gun in case you have to walk a distance to your car after work. And blah blah blah. I didn't respond but felt like writing back to let her know how gun ownership makes you totally paranoid. That's my rant. I despise guns!
