The Supreme Court has sided with the Biden administration in a dispute with Republican-led states over how far the federal government can go to combat controversial social media posts on topics including COVID-19 and election security.

      I do feel like we’ve been seeing a lot of headlines that follow a pattern of MAJOR NEWS SCOTUS SIDES WITH BIDEN on something super obvious and inconsequential.

        Normally, that would be a given and non-story. These days (gestures vaguely), normal is newsworthy.

        There’s 6 Republicans on SCOTUS. 2 of them are hard-line “originalists” that usually rule as far right as possible against human rights. 1 is the fucking Boofer who hasn’t been as awful as expected (he’s young so saving up his shittery I guess?). And one is so fucking incompetent she bragged she took no notes during her questioning.

        I’m surprised every decision isn’t a 6-3 vote against humanity.

          Let’s not even entertain the concept of “originalists.” Anyone who calls conservatives “originalists” should be laughed at to their faces.

          Otherwise, I agree with you entirely.

          Piece of shit perjured himself rather than admit he and his buddies like to squirt beer up each others’ asses. And he’s a Supreme Court Justice.

        They’re keeping their powder dry when they all swing hard right for the most consequential ruling. So everyone can say but look we were reasonable on all these other things that wouldn’t have ever really impacted you.

          Exactly. I don’t know how anyone can actually think these people have a conscience.
