    This is SCOTUS right now, and also a whole lot of SCOTUS's from yesteryear.

    There are many, many more but I just got tired of typing hashtags. See Legacy Museum, Montgomery, Ala., for a more complete list of crap decisions

  2. The decision didn’t just pick the president—it also, in installing George W. Bush, allowed him to reshape #SCOTUS. As younger lawyers, 3 of the current #GOP-appointed justices aided Bush’s Florida legal team in the run up to #BushVGore [#AmyConeyBarrett, #JohnRoberts & #BrettKavanaugh]. Another, #ClarenceThomas, was part of the decision’s majority.

  3. In Aug, #SCOTUS used its #ShadowDocket to allow #Arizona, a key swing state, to require proof of citizenship w/ voter registration forms at the request of the #RNC.

    But perhaps least known—& yet, most important—was #MooreVHarper, a 2023 ruling in which the court set the stage for the next #BushVGore scenario by holding that the justices themselves would have THE LAST SAY when it comes to questions over state-level #election rules & disputes.

  4. This Supreme Court’s 'Bush v. Gore' moment has arrived

    Is the United States Supreme Court really a court in the strict sense of the term? Or is it a political council that yields to the ideologies of its nine unelected members? That’s the overriding question as the high tribunal reviews the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling in Anderson v. Griswold, which disqualifies Donald Trump from appearing on that state’s presidential primary ballot under the insurrection clause (Section Three) of the 14th Amendment.

    Courts are supposed to adjudicate issues based on the facts and the applicable law, without “fear or favor,” as the cliché goes. Political bodies, by contrast, decide issues on the basis of favored outcomes. The U.S. Supreme Court clearly falls into the latter category.

    No decision in recent history revealed the political nature of the Supreme Court more starkly than its 2000 ruling in Bush v. Gore, which handed the presidency to George W. Bush. Anderson v. Griswold promises to follow in Bush v. Gore’s footsteps.

  5. US Supreme Court discussion of student loans yesterday featured "conservative" Judges explaining why a law passed by Congress was *wrong* and *unfair* in their minds, which apparently allows them to block its use. This is not a discussion compatible with the US #Constitution, but neither was was #BushvGore decision.

  7. Bush v. Gore was much different than the Jan. 6 riot
