  1. Justice Amy #ConeyBarrett is drilling down to a key question in the case: Does the word “regulate” allow #tariffs?

    The #Trump admin argues that it does, & that’s why they say he can impose & change tariffs during national emergencies.

    Barrett grilled him on that point, questioning whether regulate has frequently been used to allow for tariffs.

    Barrett is a conservative who’s gone her own way on some cases, & her vote will be key in the case.

    But #ConeyBarrett has the most important qualification shared amongst the #Republican puppets on #SCOTUS: She will rule as she’s told by the Party and her Church, she is blindly loyal to the #GOP #FourthReich.

    The credibility of the court itself was at its lowest ebb in living memory, thanks to the two judges who occupied stolen seats - #Kavanaugh and #ConeyBarrett. One of those judges - Kavanaugh - is a credibly accused rapist. Thomas is also a credibly accused sexual abuser:

  4. An inquiry into #PeopleofPraise—Justice Amy #ConeyBarrett group. Several individuals were contacted following a years-long effort by a group called PoP Survivors, who have called for the South Bend-based sect to be investigated for leaders’ handling of sexual abuse allegations.”

  5. #DC #AG is probing #LeonardLeo’s network. #FederalistSociety co-chair & ex-Trump #judicial adviser has utilized nonprofit groups to collect more than $1 billion for #conservative causes. Best known as #Trump’s WH “court whisperer,” Leo played behind-the-scenes role in nominations of all 3 of former prez #SCOTUS justices, promoted them through his multi $B network of nonprofits. Trump chose his 3 #SCOTUS picks, #Gorsuch, #Kavanaugh #ConeyBarrett from list drawn up by Leo. politico.com/news/2023/08/22/d

  6. I also maintain that all the #Trump appointed #SupremeCourt justices should also recuse themselves from a case involving #Meadows removal motion. I believe that they all have a conflict of interest, since they either have actual personal reasons not to treat efforts by #Trump, and by extension #Meadows, to overturn the election as criminal or their impartiality on the question is suspect. But I seriously doubt whether #Thomas, #Gorsuch, #Kavanaugh or #ConeyBarrett would recuse. 6/

    After spending $27m to block confirmation for Obama's #SCOTUS pick, #MerrickGarland, they spent tens of millions more on campaigns to seat #Kavanaugh and #Gorsuch. #ConeyBarrett was seated thanks to a $15.9m campaign to make an unqualified, unhinged ideologue seem like a viable lifetime member of the highest court in the land:
