The SCOTUS has absolutely NO credibility - but for certain justices on both sides of the aisle who still do. This isn’t a political statement. It’s a statement of fact. Unlike years ago when I was in law school, the SCOTUS has diminished stature here and abroad as reflected by its low approval ratings which have dropped from the mid-60s in the late 1980s to around 40%. Additional factors that have made this judiciary a total embarrassment to the American people - regardless of their political affiliation, include their polarization of national politics, ethics scandals, and partisan rulings, including the relaxation of campaign finance rules, increased gerrymandering, and weakened voting rights….not to mention other controversies such as the selection and composition of justices on the court and a lack of transparency in their decisions. If SCOTUS wants to restore its credibility as a respected judiciary and regain the faith and confidence of a majority of the American people - under no circumstances should it interfere with American democracy in this case or any other case. If or when they accept this case, they should treat it fairly pursuant to established judicial precedent and leave politics out of it.⚫️ #SCOTUS #americandemocracy #politics #ethics #partisanship #campaignfinance #gerrymandering #votingrights #transparency #credibilty #faithandconfidence #fairness #judicialprecedent
CAN/WILL SCOTUS RUSH TO TRUMP'S RESCUE? Speaker of the House Mike Johnson thinks SCOTUS should intervene and free Trump because only that will make Americans believe American justice is equal for all. Unfortunately for Johnson (and Trump), that isn't going to happen any time soon and may well not happen at all. There is a chance of SCOTUS intervention down the road but SCOTUS will need to tread very carefully; SCOTUS is already showing it is particularly friendly to Trump and willing to interfere with American democracy to twist it to favor Trump. https://lnkd.in/e9FaD7yx

Leveraging best-in-class global practices to lead, develop, and support partner and vendor relationships. Ensure positive brand equity and market/mind share.
I completely agree with you. It's evident that the judicial approach to staying neutral can sometimes feel like a refusal to address critical issues directly affecting the democratic process. The situation with the 2020 election and the ongoing claims of it being stolen only highlight the urgent need to focus not just on policies but on safeguarding the principles of our democracy first and foremost. It's crucial, as you said, that we preserve our democratic republic, especially when the stakes are as high as they seem for the upcoming election. It’s about more than just individual candidates; it's about the future trajectory of our nation. I share your hope that those quietly planning to vote will turn out in significant numbers to help steer us towards a government that values truth and democratic integrity. Let’s remain vigilant and motivated to engage in this critical dialogue and encourage others to participate actively in shaping our country's future.
Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date. The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial. The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

Let's Save Our Democracy Vote Blue And Three Ways To Defeat Both Trump And The New President Is King Supreme Court Opinion In one legal opinion, the Supreme Court has converted America into a banana republic in the making, or, perhaps more accurately, a banana republic for the taking. If this decision is not reconsidered/modified/vacated, July 1, 2024 will go down in history as the day the Supreme Court turned the lights off on honest and honorable governing in America. This video discusses the real and dire implications of the Supreme Court opinion that American presidents can commit crimes with absolute immunity, and the three things that can be done about it. https://lnkd.in/d8mHqzgS

CAN SCOTUS JUSTICES BE CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION? That's the question I have. I look at what SCOTUS is doing to protect Trump and am perplexed. If no one is above the law, why is Trump being treated as if he is above the law by SCOTUS? What is it that the conservative Justices believe that they owe Trump? What is the rationale for waiting 7 weeks to hear an already fully briefed case? There are lots of questions raised by what SCOTUS is doing, including: Do some Justices believe Trump has absolute immunity and so could order the assassination of a political opponent with immunity and impunity? These are troublesome times for Americans who believe in America and American democracy. SCOTUS is adding fuel to the fire that the right is building to destroy America. https://lnkd.in/ewB_pjbD

THE COLORADO CHALLENGE TO TRUMP As you know, 6 Coloradans are challenging Donald Trump's right to be on the Colorado ballot in 2024 based on Amendment 14 section 3 of the US Constitution. Although the section seems pretty clear, a lot of questions have arisen, such as does Trump have to have been found guilty of the crime of insurrection before the section can be invoked. In this interview, some of the answers to some of the questions are given. Take a listen: https://lnkd.in/egAReRMj
