Since when do Supreme Court Justices make public comments on a decision?

Alioto has a sad.
🤣🤣🤣

Alito says he's 'stunned' the Supreme Court ruled against Trump over USAID's funding

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in rejecting the Trump administration's request to cancel the foreign aid money from USAID.

Sure, coding errors.

Had nothing to do with the heat CDC took over the layoffs to begin with, uh huh.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Just to be clear, China retaliated for lardass' last round of tariffs Sept 25th.

The Trump-China trade relationship reminds me of my middle school love life: On one week, off the week, high drama, passing notes, heartache, renewal, gossip, and we did it all again the next week.

The reality, of course, is that despite the drama, no-one was making long-term commitments.

Network news including Sunday shows is dead.

There is so much good content from independent news organizations that there is no use for them. All they do is carry water for lardass.

MJ @bstnboy.bsky.social · 36m

JD Couch-fucker could never get elected president.

He may replace lardass if the 25th
Amendment is invoked but he'll be done in '28.

Independents and non-MAGA Republicans detest him.

Pritzker: "Look, we've gotta rely on the courts to do the right thing. I realize that sometimes that's risky business, especially when some have been appointed by Donald Trump. But we've seen that even a Trump-appointed judge out in California has ruled against the administration."

BREAM: Federal workers in Virginia lost jobs bc of DOGE. Your opponent points out unemployment is up under Youngkin/Sears

EARLE-SEARS: Actually unemployment is down

B: She points to numbers from BLS showing unemployment is up. Do you quibble w/data?

S: I don't know where she's getting stats from

The real question is what happened to it and did he pay taxes if he kept it.

Response should be: "I don't know but will get back to you."

I don't believe JD Couch-fucker hadn't seen the FBI video.

JD Couch-fucker lecturing Stephanopoulos on "bogus stories" is rich.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

My personal observation is there are many people that do not understand the Insurrection Act and when it can legally be invoked.

The enclosed article provides all the pertinent information.

Yes, there are limits!

www.lawfaremedia.org/article/how-...

How the Insurrection Act (Properly Understood) Limits Domestic Deployments of the U.S. Military

While legislative reforms would be helpful, a strong case can be made that the existing language of the act should be read narrowly, for both constitutional and practical reasons.

He can't. That's just an idle threat.

It's only in the event of an invasion or rebellion, neither is the case.

Chicago survived the riots/protests during the Democratic National Convention in '68, they will get through this as well.

May be after midterm elections to get control of the immigration piece unfortunately.
