This is but one of the disastrous outcomes of Roberts’s Presidential immunity for “official acts” fabrication. Because the signing of the memo was official, not only is any witness testimony inadmissible, but Trump’s motives can’t be questioned. Roberts legalized a criminal enterprise.

Because in life and death situations they are going to have time to assume a fighting stance and feel the assailant out for a minute or so before punching/kicking or shooting a double leg.

grayscale image of a historical philosopher figure with Donald Trump's face photoshopped onto it, wearing a traditional wrap and cap with tied strings and a long goatee. Next to the figure, text reads "Allow your enemy to destroy two coastal cities that account for 7% of your GDP. Not a big deal. DON TZU".

This is why the “both sides” and “they’re all corrupt” copouts need to be immediately and summarily rejected. Just excuses to vote for the worst possible option.

The indignant responses to criticism without engaging with the actual substance of the criticism is one of the more enraging qualities about Roberts as well. Just textbook gaslighting and the sense of entitlement it betrays is next level.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

I agree that in addition to being a complete asshole, Alito is an objectively dumb person. But I also think he is by far corrupt enough to coordinate with the WH on timing. If anything it could light a fire under the Dems to make expanding the court non negotiable. There’s no other alternative.

Jack Burton @jessejames1861.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Exactly right. With the all the focus on how extreme Alito and the other five are, it generally goes under stated just how mediocre and pedestrian their reasoning is, most often they don’t even make a legal argument. Turn in a college term paper that looked like their writings and you’d get an F.

The problem is that that calculation has paid off far more times than not. It won’t pay off with the war, but it sure as Hell got us to this point. Shame on this country. Sadly, it has the leadership it asked for and deserves.

So, just to review. In roughly seven months the US has had to abandon all bases in the Middle East, flee from a British base, the petrodollar system that is the foundation for hegemony has collapsed, and we’re facing historical energy and food crises. Great work. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/p...

That is exactly what this is prepping. Trump will nominate someone every bit as vile and corrupt as Alito (couldn’t be worse just as bad) and the Senate will slam it through before Jan 3. If that doesn’t unite the Dems behind expanding the court nothing will.

Also, if you listen to SCOTUS during those oral arguments, they were all but telegraphing that they were ready to strike down the actual statutes in order to protect Trump if it ever got that far. The goal posts will move toward that end and Roberts left room for that as well. Total sham.

Jack Burton @jessejames1861.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Problem is Roberts also made ANY communications between the President and his aides as inadmissible as evidence. So there is no way to prove any of Trump’s crimes official or not. Until this fraudulent SCOTUS is expanded, it is impossible to enforce any law when it comes to Trump.

Under all the fluff this is such a lazy, counter-historical take. But guys like this continue to roll it out as if it is some fresh perspective that the Dems haven’t tried, and kept trying long after it had already failed miserably. Time to show poseurs like this the door.

Trans people and other endangered communities deserve better. They see you willingly sacrificing them for votes even as polls show the actual momentum is behind standing up for them. This isn't a game and people need to reject popularism and electoral punditry like the fucking poison they are.
