Kailee ♾️ Riden with Biden 🇺🇸 on Nostr: FedSoc justices disgraced themselves and their fake pet theories in the oral argument ...
FedSoc justices disgraced themselves and their fake pet theories in the oral argument on presidential immunity.
Remember when they were “minimalists”? Oh, but now they embarked on a long policy peregrination so as to make what Gorsuch called a “ruling for the ages.” (He actually said that.) Behind the stunning pomposity, it’s miles from “minimalist.”
Remember when they were “constitutionalists”? The constitution says they’ve got to stick to the “case or controversy” before them, and yet they went on their wild hypothetical wanderings. Some “constitutionalists.”
Remember when they were “originalists”? Follow the text, never mind the outcomes?
All gone, in hand-waving about what various rulings might portend, and what effects they could have.
Remember their recent switch (Dobbs, Bruen) to “history and tradition”? The “history” is that no president but Nixon and Trump committed crimes; none sought immunity.
The “tradition” is presidents for centuries got along just
