Justice Brett #Kavanaugh & Chief Justice #JohnRoberts broke from their #conservative colleagues in siding with Pitchford.
Justice Neil M. #Gorsuch wrote a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel A. #Alito Jr. & #AmyConeyBarrett.
“Put simply, Mr. Pitchford’s account of a muzzled defense team is hard to square with the record. But even if it were a plausible account, that still would not be enough,” Gorsuch wrote. -

Today the Roberts Court spits on graves of hundreds of thousands who died for the idea that black people are people.
The Civil War really was a thing.
But Uncle #ClarenceThomas won't be happy until he can't vote.

If there were ever a #DEI hire, it was #ClarenceThomas, the least qualified appointee to the #SupremeCourt in my lifetime, making even #BrettKavanaugh seem astute and reasoned. Thomas is a corrupt, ill-educated, misogynist who wishes he could bleach his skin and wear a hood. #GeorgeHWBush nominated him because he was the only black man he could find who would kiss ass for power.

"In a 6-3 decision, the #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS holds that International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) – a 1977 statute which grants the president authority to regulate or prohibit certain international transactions during a national emergency – does not authorize the president to impose the #tariffs "
Justices #ClarenceThomas, #SamuelAlito, and #BrettKavanaugh dissented."

Trump's fitness to lead, in light of the Epstein files:
A passenger airplane pilot.
What's a reasonable level of confidence that that pilot will be fit to complete the flight safely?99,999 in a hundred thousand?
That'd have you ok with one pilot somewhere on Earth every day being unfit to fly safely.After seeing Epstein files extracts, what confidence do you have that Donald Trump is a fit person to lead the USA?

"#Ethics experts said #ClarenceThomas’ undisclosed ties to the #Koch network could call his impartiality in the case into doubt. This sort of potential conflict is why the judiciary has rules against both political activity and fundraising, they said. 'Parties litigating in the court before #JusticeThomas don’t know the extent of Thomas’ relationship with the parties on the other side,' said James Sample, a Hofstra University law professor who studies judicial ethics. 'You have to be pretty cynical to not think that’s a problem.' "

#ClarenceThomas Secretly Participated in #KochBrothers Network Donor Events
by Joshua Kaplan, Justin Elliott and Alex Mierjeski
Sept. 22, 2023, 5 a.m. EDTExcerpt: "Thomas has attended at least two Koch donor summits, putting him in the extraordinary position of having helped a political network that has brought multiple cases before the Supreme Court.
" 'In the 15 years since, the Koch network has left a deep imprint on American society. Its advocacy is credited with helping stamp out Republican Party support for combating #ClimateChange, once an issue that drew bipartisan concern. The “full weight of the network” was thrown behind passing the 2017 #TrumpTaxCut, securing a windfall for the Kochs and their donors. And the upcoming Supreme Court term could bring the network a victory it has pursued for years: overturning a major legal precedent known as #Chevron.
"While most Americans aren’t familiar with the 1984 case Chevron v. #NRDC, it’s one of the Supreme Court’s most-cited decisions. Legal scholars sometimes mention it in the same breath as Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade. In essence, Chevron is about government agencies’ ability to issue regulations. After a law is enacted, it’s generally up to agencies across the government to make detailed rules putting it into effect. The Chevron decision said courts should be hesitant to second-guess the agencies’ determinations. In the years that followed, judges cited Chevron in upholding rules that protect endangered species, speed up the approval process for new cellphone towers and grant benefits to coal miners suffering from black lung.
"The Koch network has challenged Chevron in the courts and its lobbyists have pushed Congress to pass a law nullifying the decision. It has also provided millions of dollars in grants to law professors making the case to overturn it.
"The network’s position has become increasingly popular in recent years. Once broadly supported by academics and judges on the right, Chevron is now anathema to many in the conservative legal movement. And there’s no more prominent convert than Thomas.
"In 2005, Thomas wrote the majority opinion in a case that expanded Chevron’s protections for government agencies. Ten years later, he was openly questioning the doctrine. Then in 2020, Thomas renounced his own earlier decision, writing that he’d determined the doctrine is unconstitutional after all — a rare reversal for a justice with a reputation for being unmovable in his views.
"By last year, Koch network strategists sensed that victory could be at hand. During an internal briefing for network staff, Jorge Lima, a senior vice president at Americans for Prosperity, said the Supreme Court seemed primed to radically change its approach to the issue. The network was trying to find cases that could bring about major changes in the law, according to a video of the meeting obtained by the watchdog group Documented. “We’re doubling down on this strategy,” Lima told the crowd.
"Several months later, the Supreme Court announced it would take up a case, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, in which Koch network staff attorneys represent the plaintiffs. If Thomas and his colleagues side with them this coming term, Chevron will be overturned once and for all."

I missed this Friday.
MSNBC's #AlexWagner reported on the collapse of 3 big #ConspiracyTheory media outlets, #AlexJones' #InfoWars, Dinesh D'Souza's #SalemMedia Group, and #China's #EpochTimes all crashing & burning (just watching Jones far apart in a blubbering mental breakdown is worth watching.)
Followed by #SCotUS #ClarenceThomas being forced to admit to accepting millions in bribes. 🤔 #NotYourFathersGOP #VoteBlue https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/watch-alex-wagner-tonight-highlights-june-7-212563013744

(1/2)
Good point here's the complete quote:
"👉Revanchist politics👈 and a list of enemies to rival #AryaStark’s: These things do not pair naturally with bonhomie at the office. Yet such are the contradictions of #ClarenceThomas."
Here's a link w/o PW:
There is a German saying: A lot of enemies, a lot of honor."
The catch is, however, that you cannot be devoid of honor, like #DirtyClarence...
I can see...
