FOR YEARS, SCotUS would force black & brown people to vote in unfair systems because it was too close to an election.
NOW, SCotUS sees their fav fascists about to lose this election, and they not only HALT AN ELECTION IN PROGRESS but they tell LA, others, go ahead, we won't stop you, hurry (to stop the whites from losing)!
And he has the gall to claim they're not policital?

Just to be clear: The recent Supreme Court decision gutting what remained of the VRA (Voting Rights Act) says that when states protect voting rights of black people, that's discriminatory against white people.
But when white people use the same process to deny blacks their vote, that's completely legal.
In case his hypocrisy was not in full view. Just to be clear.

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.

As Lauren Egan notes, with upcoming empty seats on the Supreme Court anticipated, "the possibility of a Supreme Court confirmation fight has been the subject of rampant chatter among the Washington political class."

The Supreme Court broadly expanded Trump’s power in 2025, with key exceptions

By David G. Savage, Staff Writer Follow. Jan. 1, 2026 3 AM PT

• For much of the year, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and the five other conservatives were in the majority ruling for Trump.
• The court has been criticized for handing down temporary unsigned orders with little or no explanation.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., ended the first year of President Trump’s second term with a record of rulings that gave him much broader power to control the federal government.

In a series of fast-track decisions, the justices granted emergency appeals and set aside rulings from district judges who blocked Trump’s orders from taking effect.

With the court’s approval, the administration dismissed thousands of federal employees, cut funding for education and health research grants, dismantled the agency that funds foreign aid and cleared the way for the U.S. military to reject transgender troops.

But the court also put two important checks on the president’s power.

In April, the court twice ruled — including in a post-midnight order — that the Trump administration could not secretly whisk immigrants out of the country without giving them a hearing before a judge.

Upon taking office, Trump claimed migrants who were alleged to belong to “foreign terrorist” gangs could be arrested as “enemy aliens” and flown secretly to a prison in El Salvador.

Supreme Court rules against Trump, bars National Guard deployment in Chicago, Dec. 23, 2025

Roberts and the court blocked such secret deportations and said the 5th Amendment entitles immigrants, like citizens, a right to “due process of law.” Many of the arrested men had no criminal records and said they never belonged to a criminal gang.
Those who face deportation “are entitled to notice and opportunity to challenge their removal,” the justices said in Trump vs. J.G.G.

They also required the government to “facilitate” the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been wrongly deported to El Salvador. He is now back in Maryland with his wife, but may face further criminal charges or efforts to deport him.

And last week, Roberts and the court barred Trump from deploying the National Guard in Chicago to enforce the immigration laws.

Trump had claimed he had the power to defy state governors and deploy the Guard troops in Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., Chicago and other Democratic-led states and cities.

The Supreme Court disagreed over dissents from conservative Justices Samuel A. Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch.

A thoughtful and respectful essay in significance of Ketangi Brown-Jackson’s dissent commentary. Raising some questions, for the most part the clarity of analyzing duality of capitalism helps make sense of these SCOTUS decisions and the primacy of militarism. Thank you John Ganz.

Asked whether Trump's implementation of Project 2025, the Christian nationalist gameplan to abolish democracy, has been successful so far, Paul Dans, architect of Project 2025, responds:

"It’s actually way beyond my wildest dreams."
