Wait. i just noticed ...its devastating? wtf? The Supreme Court rules on the law, not on what we wish the law was. The Executive executes the law. The law is written by the legislature. The Court was designed to be a check on executive action in exactly this manner. It has ruled that the Executive is being compliant with the law, within it's Constitutional mandates. If people don't like the law, they should petition their legislators to change it. This is how the system is designed to work. The fact that people are upset because out government is following the law is telling. Same old fight: republicans vs monarchists. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also heard (though less confirmed, more rumor/gossip) that another (unnamed) justice is retiring as well. Two possible vacancies before the midterms... look out. Supposedly the other justice is Clarence Thomas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I cringed at this, but then after reflecting on it, it's probably the best thing that could happen. Conservatives hold the Court, and by replacing old Origionalists with what will hopefully be comparably young Origionalists, conservatives will hold the Court for at least another 20 years. If Ginsberg exits at some point in the next 5 years, that's the cherry on the Sundae. Edited June 26, 2018 by TakeYouToTasker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy he will actually do it, but that's the rumor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
