“filed in the Northern District of Texas, where it will appear before Judge Reed O’Connor, who holds $15,000 of stock in Tesla, Musk’s other company. (Earlier this week, Media Matters lost its bid to have O’Connor recuse himself.)”
How is this even allowed? I thought they had a code of ethics. surely this is considered a conflict of interest #ReformTheCourt 🤬

@CindyWeinstein Also sounds like their only remaining defence is 'the constitution lets me do it'. Which is code for 'SCOTUS will let me do it'. Sadly correct, and something Biden will inevitably have to act upon.

I think that #scotus has crossed the line of their legitimate authority. Only Congress has the power to make laws, so when #scotus does it, it’s not really legal. We desperately need a way to keep them in their lane. Right now they’re asserting power that they don’t really have.

"Expand" the Court, but maybe not in the way most people think: #ThinkOutsideTheBox #ReformTheCourt #AbortTheCourt -

Here's a way to reform the #SCotUS that I wonder if #ProfessorTribe has considered: #ReformTheCourt -
$10 million advertising blitz aimed at voters to get them to lobby lawmakers for an ethics code, term limits for justices, court expansion, and other reforms. https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/emergency-to-save-democracy-unions-say-supreme-court-reform-an-immediate-necessity/ #reformthecourt

@Axomamma
Incredibly, #ChiefJustice #Roberts was FAR more Moderate when the Court was 5/4, but since becoming 6/3, he is letting his freak flag fly and swinging for the fences. #ReformTheCourt #ThinkOutsideTheBox -
What the actual fuck?
This Court is doing real damage to our country.
Something has to change. This shit can NOT stand in a democracy!

Supporters of #Chevron, including #environmental groups, #labor & #CivilRights organizations, & the Biden admin, told the court that #Congress often writes broad statutes to give government #experts the leeway to address emerging complex problems. Overturning or scaling back the #legal #precedent, they said, will hamstring & weaken #FederalAgencies & shift #power to the courts & Congress [that’s the plan].

The court’s 3 liberal [sane] justices — Sonia #Sotomayor, Elena #Kagan & #KetanjiBrownJackson — dissented.
The #precedent, established in 1984, gave #FederalAgencies flexibility to determine how to implement #legislation ALREADY PASSED by #Congress. The framework has been used extensively by the U.S. #government to defend #regulations designed to protect the #environment, #FinancialMarkets, #consumers, the #workplace, & more. -
Sometimes things that I've learned about history just pop into my head. Especially in relation to a current situation.
Of course, the history that I was taught is often riddled with mistakes and inaccuracies. However, themes or trends can emerge.
Ancient Israel had judges, and they were pretty 😎. So cool that the people decided to make the Judges rulers. Some of them were warrior-judges. This did not work out so well, and they reverted to other forms of governance.
This story is about #SCOTUS & how we need to #ExpandTheCourt & #ReformTheCourt.
If that doesn't work, a Tom Waits song comes to mind.

The #SCOTUS is totally compromised. No way they can recover public confidence. Time to #ReformTheCourt https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/jun/21/samuel-alito-undisclosed-gifts-billionaire-paul-singer-supreme-court?CMP=share_btn_tw

So a Trump-appointed district judge shows more respect for the Constitution than the current #SCOTUS, to whom these fascist lawmakers will likely take their hate legislation to get it into law. #ReformTheCourt https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/06/republicans-woke-court/

"Crow is not, as Thomas claims his 'dearest friend' so much as his corrupt benefactor Thomas is unfit to serve on any court let alone our nation's highest court. His failure to disclose his close financial dealings with a GOP billionaire has single-handedly destroyed what little credibility this MAGA Court had left

If “the Court does not resolve this issue on its own, the Committee will consider legislation to resolve it"

@aristofontes This! Especially coming on the heels of the Thomas revelations and the general distrust of this reactionary federal judiciary.

#IllegitimateSCOTUS #ClarenceThomasCorruption #ClarenceThomasMustResign #ReformTheCourt #SupremeCourtEthics #ExpandTheCourt Clarence Thomas & his wife Ginni are raking in millions from connections with Leonard Leo, the leader of the Federalist Society who has orchestrated the court’s hard-right turn. Leo is now overseeing Marble Freedom Trust, established to disburse funds from a $1.6 billion bequest to manipulate elections in favor of Republicans.
