Official 930 Supreme Court thread

So the Religious school one I heard about, on the fence…Sotomayor made it sound like we were installing the pope in the legislative branch with that ruling, not sure I agree
but I'm no legal scholar, that is well documented

that other "crime of violence" one  (was thinking that might be a good band name, taken by an  Indonesia Metal band)
the guy didn't have the gun or shoot the gun that killed someone else… While I hate guns, hard to say that 10 years should get tacked on to his sentence for a gun in the crime rather than a knife or a car

I am surprised you are in favor of a ruling that supports a state giving vouchers period; never mind that they can be used for religious schools.

I have always said I support so called school choice but I sure hope states watch what schools they acredit. Will they also extend vouchers to parents homeschooling their  kids? There’s a lot of crazy potential implications from school choice. I don’t know the particulars about what Maine is doing.

exactly
I do have a lot of issues with the school voucher programs in general
but their are some redeeming things that have helped a lot of family's where the local schools are absolute garbage

I did say I was on the fence
I just felt sotomyer just went a little over the top in her dissent

Supreme Court adds Friday as additional opinion day this week. (It previously announced Thursday as an opinion day.)


So do we think friday the Roe decision will be rolled out
gonna be a busy weekend on facebook and twitter

They have lost their minds

i'm going to feel extra safe in public from now on  ::)

Just wild these 6-3 decisions considering the GOP has won the popular vote in a Presidential election exactly once in the last 30 years.

don't be hating on them since they know how to play the game under the current rules ;)

yikes…this is what happens when you think the email lady is the same as some crazy narcissist who could give a fuck about the common person

It's a great day for advocates of murder.

Well, on the one hand you have a gun. And on the other hand…welp, there's a gun there too.

As someone pointed it’s all about States rights… except it’s now it’s Red States dictating what rights Blue States have… 

Say goodbye to environmental protections, public schools, etc etc

Seriously just let Jesusland be a thing and the rest of us can join Canada

Part of me “hopes” Roberts negotiated his non deciding vote on a few rulings to get someone on the right to join him in not overturning Roe

But honestly for me these crazy ruling on Gun insanity is so repugnant nothing can make it mildly acceptable but maybe some women might feel different were that so

Well, the silver lining is that women could interpret a RvW overturn as a tyrannical government revoking their rights, and they can form a well-regulated militia without fear that anyone will take their guns away…

Good point!

Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide

It won’t be weird

They make it up as they go along

Bush v Gore, even before that I think Georgia vs Bowers

I mean the rulings over the years have been beyond ridiculous

People can’t handle this reality

Pluck anyone off the street and they would do better than these political hacks
