Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

4D chess. I didn't realize that I can win a court case by insulting the judge and his family, and then appeal it and say, "See? The judge was prejudiced against me because I behaved like an asshole!"
I get your sarcasm, but don't think any judge would want to take that appeal. Why subject yourself or your colleagues to this kind of abuse. Not sure exactly how that whole process goes, but really doubt there's any way all his bullshit works out to his benefit.
What about maga-friendly judges?
They could take the case, rule in trump's favour, and get sweet sweet fascist cred.
They'd be top of the Supreme Court Justice list the second Republicans gain the majority again
Man, we have to be getting real close to the straw... especially when they keep loading anvils on this flattened fucker.
The endgame in this charade is to not have a supreme court at all and the Maga judges are idiots if they haven't seen it
Idk. You'd think even they would see how trump throws even close allies under the bus not even for cause but just to distract or get himself back in the news. Should be obvious, but maybe.
The appellate courts are already shooting him down.
Likely the Supreme Court would do the same, if the cases are accepted.
I get your honesty. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in any of The Cheeto's meetings with council, and hear the advice (or protestation) they're giving him. I suppose we all just need to wait long enough - there have been and will be many personal narrative books published about this slow-moving train wreck.
Step 0 of this plan is to pay off the appeals judges all the way up to the SC
