it's not enough that they are the unelected rulers of the United States. It's not enough that there is a real chance they will make a decision here that no coherent legal theory could support. It's that they will then go to private donor events and whine that people are being too mean to them
looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin

The lesson that Peacock TV learned from the mass cancellation of Disney+ earlier this year was that they needed to change their terms and conditions so they get to keep the whole of your subscription money if you cancel before the term is up.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Again, adding a few seats to SCOTUS is now the baseline "moderate" position in the face of this authoritarian nonsense.

The real, serious reforms need to go much, much further:
If/when Democrats regain control of Congress, the path is clear. No clerks. No building. No shadow docket. Nothing, until you stop ignoring the law, data, history, precedent, & the plain meaning of words in the Constitution. And there will be 25 of you, with 9 chosen by lottery for any one case.
Again, because the 9 Wizards In Robes, of both parties, believe they & SCOTUS are entitled by God to be an all-powerful Super-legislature, adding seats (& slashing the clerks/building budget, & making them ride the circuit, etc.) has now become the only serious “moderate” & “pro-democracy” position.

Congress should be profitable before the usps - because the usps DOES provide a public good. Whereas congress…
It is a public service.
It does not have to make money.
The idea that the postal service needs to be profitable, when it is a basic function of civilization that we should all be happy to subsidize, is a massive scam.

You can't completely avoid abuse and fraud because there will always be assholes.
