>we now have a load bearing 78 year old and load bearing 76 year old (and 71 year old cuck)Unless we win in 2028, Thomas will be 84 in January 2033 and Alito will be 82
>>545703028Trump would have WTF is Senate leader send them home to stop another Epstein Files vote.>>545696584GOP has one big epic fail left. :)Clarence is no spring chicken and most Niggers have shorter natural lives than Whites. He could croak anytime, or have some major medical, etc.Come Feb 2027, GOP wont be able to confirm a new SCOTUS for the next....20yrs???Trump COULD ask the old Nigger to step down and "name his replacement" of some young Nigger, and create some "traditionally that seat is Afro-Amer Conservative" BS and the Dems wouldn't be able to say shit because Nigger, etc, and the still GOP Congress could name a new Fed Building or law school after Thomas.But I'm guessing they will fuck it up, because they are only locked into levels of self delusion that shouldn't even be possible, for The Jews.
>weFuck republicans, this is their fault for betraying the base.Plus it won't matter Dems will unironically pack the courts first thing in 2029.
>>545703028they are totally irrelevant. They just put off, postpone, delay cases. Sending them back for more review just to keep the game going slow. The never take action against incompetent or activist judges, especially the 9th. Was Alito on Epstein island?
>>545703028Thune, Johnson, and Trump did it to themselves by not getting Alito and Thomas to step down at some point in the last two years. But they had no interest in governing and will go down as some of the most incompetent and lazy Speaker and Senate Majority leaders ever,>>545703245If they try to pull that shit before the new congress is sworn in, the court is getting packed unironically.
>>545703245She gave great details about alleged sexual harassment and guy just straight up said its false and accused Biden of a modern day lynching, then gets approved.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdUIVok9Wec
>>545703028>Unless we win in 2028, Thomas will be 84 in January 2033 and Alito will be 82How old will they be in January 2033 if we do win?

>>545703449as an under 18yr old working at a supermarket I was Her-assed by a fairly hot mid-20s Negress with the afro public hair joke, prior to all SCOTUS stuff.
>>545703028Question for burgers: How is the judiciary supposed to be independent when the President (partisan political figure) nominates the judges and the Senate (made up of partisan politicians) confirms them? I've always found that really odd. Here it's a committee of other members of the judiciary who pick the judges, based on them being good judges rather than for the fact they're liberal or conservative.
>>545703028they had a chance to stop it with birthright citizenship and rejected it so FUCK THEM
>>545703028Hate Trump all you want, but I'll always appreciate that he dabbed on that kike bitch Ruth Bader Ginsberg's dying wish.
>>545703422>If they try to pull that shit before the new congress is sworn in, the court is getting packed unironically.nuclear option?Trump still has veto, and Dems have no super majority.Dems could fudge pack after they win POTUS in 2028.
>>545703792It's not a reading supported even on Scalia esque originalist grounds, and it's also an bureaucratic nightmare. You think the Oklahoma Indian territory ruling fucked things up, oh boy would trying to rush through jus sanguinis laws that have never existed in the US make that look like child's play. The vibes right just deluded themselves on this one.
>>545703825any sane Dem was screaming at RBG to resign during Obama Admin, but she was using her position as an ATM via her husband's law firm.
>>545703905>we can do it!>actually we cant>youre the vibe rightSo youre saying it was a smart move to stab them in the back lel
>>545703758>How is the judiciary supposed to be independent when the President (partisan political figure) nominates the judges and the Senate (made up of partisan politicians) confirms them?Because they serve for life and cannot be removed short of impeachment which is almost never done, even when warranted. SCOTUS is like a panel of 9 kings that decide cases and set precedent for everyone. Oh and ALL federal judges are like this. They all serve for life, no mandatory retirement or anything. Lower courts are slightly less independent because they can "promote" up the ranks to appeals courts and eventually SCOTUS nomination, but look at Kavanaugh and Roberts and Cohen. They all vote however the FUCK they want, regardless of what anyone else wants.Independent != non-partisan.>>545703905This. The correct way to deal with it is changing the law. Which wouldn't have even been hard. An amendment would have been much harder but only because shit is so polarized. It COULD have been arranged through a constitutional convention, if Trump gave a shit about governing.
>>545703758Back when the Constitution was written, there was a cultural notion that judges are intrinsically of high moral character and beyond partisan politics. It started in Britain and carried over into the colonies
>>545703028>Uncle Thomas is the last White Supreme Court Justicesad
>>545704079My understanding is that leadership on >both sides of the political spectrum is scared of a convention since there's no way to limit it to a narrow scope, and they are naturally control freaks.
And what good did having this setup do for Trump when they went hard against his birthright thing anyway?
>>545704079A supreme court decision also tries to be pragmatic enough that it's not a gigantic administrative nightmare. There are a bunch of questions that you can't just resolve with a typical USSC test for jus sanguinis. How American do you need to be to be a citizen? etc, etc. Thomas will come up with his own goofy dissents and concurrences that would be absolute nightmares if taken seriously, but that's why his concurrences and dissents are basically ignored - unlike Scalia's. Thomas just likes to troll and write dissents like "actually, students have no rights" because dissents and concurrences don't actually matter and will never be used in any courtroom or professional training material.
Considering the joke that kavanaugh is and the literal nigger baby having pseudo liberal barret, it is honestly probably for the best that the 2 last hardline right justices go for broke and hope for a republican win in 2028 or die trying rather then step down and be replaced by some other clowns that whisper the right things to trump and then immediately turn into pale blue "I wanna be fair by completely misinterpreting the law" fucking faggots. If anything they should have tried to kick roberts the fuck out because he is the main perpetrator and orchestrator of the afore mentioned faggotry, at least then you either get someone more hardline or you get the same type of wishy washy dickhead anyway, no real downside in trying.
>>545703758only republicans try and claim this
>>545704079>It COULD have been arranged through a constitutional convention, if Trump gave a shit about governing.A constitutional convention will never happen because it has never happened. Retards like Mark Levin have been whining about the necessity about one for some bullshit or another and trying to sell rubes on it because it, having never happened, can be whatever they want it to be.
sotomayor could bear my load if you know what i'm saying
Why did Trump appoint a woman to the Supreme Court? I never got an explanation on this desu
>>545703758how do you pick who is on the committee? >>545703792what the fuck were they supposed to do? the plain text is clear >>545703873they/them is saying in 2029 if the dems win the presidency
>>545704263they nuked a bunch of gun laws and said foreigners have zero recourse against the feds when the feds remove them>>545704355don't commie judges use the dissent from heller or bruen sometimes?
>>545703758>>545704079its a myth that SCOTUS is dictator for life.What POTUS Jackson did with Indian issue was how its supposed to work.2 out of 3. Jackson ignored SCOTUS and thus dared Congress to impeach him, which they refused.SCOTUS is tied with The Popes for always being wrong about everything, all the time.Prob with judges is they don't understand The Law.Instead of ruling on if what someone is doing is legal, they feel its their job to micro-manage everyone else's life. Women judges are off course worst in this. Judges can't be like "IMO you are doing the wrong thing, but I guess its legal".
>>545704381are you not a republican, fatso?>>545704644basically a shitpost because RBG was also a woman, he figured a woman was easier to ram through and ACB cucks out on some things, but she was only 48, has basically an unimpeachable record like Gorsuch or Alito and was really pro gun and anti abortion in some prior lower court rulings
>>545705504>Judges can't be like "IMO you are doing the wrong thing, but I guess its legal".Gorscuch does this. he's a based letter of the law autist
>>545703905Yes it is or the kids of ambassadors would be citizens. It was very simple - contingent on parental status.
>>545704355Thomas is often right, especially about old cases because frankly old supreme courts cared a lot less about getting it right. Scalia is responsible for really improving the ethos of the courts even if he was more practical than right in many cases.
>>545705263>>>545703792>what the fuck were they supposed to do? the plain text is clear1)is understood anyone standing on US dirt is "under jurisdiction" in some sense, and words need to mean something, so in the 14th it has to mean "sole jurisdiction" as in no other nation has any jurisdiction, which typically goes back 3 gens.2)Yeah, just like Gay Marriage is also in plain text by the Founding Fathers.3)"constitutional amends are not absolute", when it comes to Bill of Rights, and everything except the 13th and 14th.
>>545705423>don't commie judges use the dissent from heller or bruen sometimes?For every 1 dissent or concurrence that is rarely cited, there are 10,000 that are ignored. For all practical purposes, dissents and concurrences don't matter.>>545705650No, he isn't. He likes to jerk himself off about how clever he is. Hence the students' rights cases where he dissents that "students have no rights" or his commerce clause dissent trolling. Is it interesting? Not really. It's not like Thomas has some learning tree of judges and scholars like Scalia.I hate this self-aggrandizing nigger so much. It pisses me off to no end that he's held up on the level of a influential conservative justice whose decisions and tests actually are relevant in the real world like Scalia.
>>545705785>so in the 14th it has to mean "sole jurisdiction" as in no other nation has any jurisdiction, which typically goes back 3 gensOr it could mean subject to all US law, as opposed to diplomats who had diplomatic immunity and Indians not taxed who had to be dealt with under whatever treaty we had with their tribe. You know, like the people who wrote the fucking amendment said.If you can jail someone and sue someone, they're subject to US jurisdiction.Also, lmao at the idea that most nations track shit back 3 generations.
>>54570302870 is the new 50 ok, they'll be fine
>>545705263>what the fuck were they supposed to do? the plain text is clearHasn't stopped them before.
>>545705881>For every 1 dissent or concurrence that is rarely cited, there are 10,000 that are ignored. For all practical purposes, dissents and concurrences don't matter.You didn’t form an argument for dissents not mattering, your formed an argument for them being an inefficient use of time, and you didn’t support that argument.
>>545705582Okay, so forever? If an American citizen in Mexico (or some other New World birthright citizenship country that allows dual citizenship) has a kid, at what point are this descendants not American citizens?
>>545706088Kys retardDiplomatic immunity is not in the constitution, it relies on legislation that cannot impact application of the constitution.
>>545705263>how do you pick who is on the committee?I actually had to look that up, and it seems like it's just nominations all the way down. You're nominated to the commission from your respective commission. They're actually selecting two new justices at the moment, and I didn't even know:https://www.supremecourt.uk/news/competition-launched-for-two-justices-of-the-supreme-courtwhich kinda goes to show how comparatively low profile our Supreme Courts is (unless it's a controversial decision like when they recently ruled sex discrimination law doesn't protect trannies under their "chosen" sex because their gender identity doesn't change their biological sex, which troons obviously went ballistic over but was the correct interpretation of the law from a neutral standpoint). All in all, it seems like getting on the UK Supreme Court is more like just applying for any other job.
>>545706280Grassroots conservatives are under the impression that Thomas is an influential legal scholar because he writes a bunch of dissents and concurrences. Problem is, none of that shit gets cited because Thomas has a bad habit of using his prodigious legal mind to engage in intellectual masturbation that is not workable for any kind of courtroom jurisprudence. This is also incredibly selfish of him because he is willfully making the decision to not contribute to, at least in concurrences, the actual rule or test that will be applied across the nation. Because he's a self-aggrandizing nigger that cares more about trolling than being an influential conservative justice.
>>545703028the hubris of the 9 niggers knows no bounds, they all think they’re immortal and irreplaceable
>>545706424>Diplomatic immunity is not in the constitution, it relies on legislation that cannot impact application of the constitution.Subject to the jurisdiction thereof is in the constitution. Congress decides who is subject to US jurisdiction through laws. Congress also controls how much of, if any, of the Constitution applies to US territories, so this shouldn't be a novel concept to you, just applied to people instead of land.Remember, the Constitution only guarantees equal rights to people subject to US laws. It doesn't guarantee anyone be subject to US law though, so Congress is free to decide who is and isn't.If you wanted to make it so the children of illegals aren't subject to US laws and therefore don't get US citizenship, you could. The only downside would be they'd be literally be above the law like it's the Purge 24/7 and you could only deport them if you find them, not hold them accountable for any crimes they commit.
>>545706612Shit, meant to link this page as well which actually explains ithttps://www.supremecourt.uk/appointments-of-justicesPic related is the tl;dr.
>>545706612our scotus is way stronger than the supreme courts of other english speaking countries. Which is kind of funny because the constitution basically just says>there will be a supreme court and inferior courts a lot of our court shit is defined by acts of congress and not the constitution. Like how our congressional districts and the gerrymandering shit isn't in the constitution and only exists due to a retarded commie law from the 1950s
>>545706774neat
>>545703028>2028>he doesn't knowthe senate seats up for grabs in 2028 are mostly dem strongholdsyou won't have another chance to control the senate until probably 2032
>>545704020That and she was such a fame whore that she "knew" Hillary Clinton was going to be president next so she wanted to wait for the historical retiring under the first woman president shit. Scalia and Ginsburg both dying in such ignominious ways was really nice.
>>545703028Sotomayor is rapidly approaching rbg status. She's barely holding on as is with her staffers trying to wrangle her anytime they can. When oral arguments come and she's on her own it really becomes clear just how unfit she was for the position to begin with and how much she's declining mentally. She often can't even keep straight the line of questioning another justice asked one of the lawyer's and she ends up going off on tangents which Alito or Gorsuch or Kagan or even the lawyer himself has to help her get back on track with. It's frankly embarrassing. She'd be better off doing what Thomas did for years and keeping her mouth shut for the most part and letting an aligned justice effectively speak on her behalf during oral arguments. I don't know why the fuck she keeps piping up just to look like a retard.
