There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.
Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Even Republicans in Congress are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

Interesting how this ignores that the world's worst industry is actually religion, where millions of kids have been molested over the course of decades. Why can't we keep kids out of churches until they're 18? Why aren't churches that traffic children closed down? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/06/o...

As Christian Nationalist politicians pass increasingly unhinged attacks on church-state separation, this is going to make it even harder for advocates like us—with limited resources—to fight back. States can use essentially unlimited taxpayer money to pass, fight, repeal, and repeat to bleed us dry.
SCOTUS' second and final decision is Lackey v. Stinnie. By a 7–2 vote, the court holds that plaintiffs' lawyers are not the "prevailing party"—and can't collect attorneys' fees—when they win a preliminary injunction, then the state repeals the challenged law. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![Section 1988(b) permits courts to award attorney’s fees to
a “prevailing party.” A party “prevails” when a court conclusively resolves his claim by granting enduring relief on
the merits that alters the legal relationship between the
parties. Critically, both the change in relationship and its
permanence must result from a judicial order. A preliminary injunction, which temporarily preserves the parties’
litigating positions based in part on a prediction of the likelihood of success on the merits, does not render a plaintiff a
“prevailing party.” Nor do external events that moot the
action and prevent the court from conclusively adjudicating
the claim. Because the drivers in the present case gained
only preliminary injunctive relief before this action became
moot, they do not qualify as “prevailing part[ies]” eligible
for attorney’s fees under §1988(b).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreihte5yx2krhmgxuzwmotbbd4ykmkmouaphdhcipvoakcrtifoye2e@jpeg)
