Bit of a different take from Lawrence Lessig.
“Although some very smart and reliable analysts, citing the progressive concurrence’s claim that “the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office,” have argued that the court’s opinion effectively neuters Section 3, I disagree. There is a statute on the books—18 U.S.C. §2383—that criminalizes insurrection. The penalty for that crime is disqualification from federal office. And while the court did describe the need for Congress to ensure that any procedure it establishes be congruent and proportional, there’s no reason to believe that a criminal statute, which affords a defendant the maximum procedural protection known within our system of law, wouldn’t satisfy that requirement.”

SCOTUS continues to demonstrate that it is compromised. The Roberts Court will go down in history as one of the worst courts in history. Supreme Court clears way for Texas to enforce immigration law for now The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for Texas to immediately begin enforcing one of the nation’s harshest immigration laws, which opponents say would disrupt more than a century of federal control over international borders. The divided decision was preliminary and urged a lower court to quickly decide whether to allow the law to remain in effect while appeals continue. That approach drew dissent from the three liberal justices, two of whom said the majority was inviting “further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/19/supreme-court-texas-immigration-law/

States have no power to determine who may appear on their federal ballots because “chaos” would ensue, but are free to do whatever they want with respect to federal immigration, ensuing chaos be damned? The Court just decides the outcome it wants first and then backs into it. This Court has zero credibility.

In this respect, SCOTUS is the Chaos Court, mirroring the MAGA GOP - incoherent and hypocritical.

But, if it turns into an even larger disaster, it'll be Biden's fault.

SCOTUS and the Fifth Cicuit - get your act together. A truly conservative ruling would never have implemented an administrative stay in the first place but would have upheld the district court's ruling in place to maintain the status quo pending a ruling on the merits. Appeals court again blocks Texas from arresting and deporting migrants A federal appeals court has again blocked a law that makes it a state crime for migrants to illegally cross the border, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority allowed the law to take effect while challenges to it continue through the court system. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit blocked enforcement of the law, known as S.B. 4, ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Wednesday morning. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/19/supreme-court-texas-immigration-law/

SCOTUS bagman refuses to comply. Leo rejects Senate subpoena from panel probing gifts to Supreme Court justices The Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena Thursday to conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo as part of a months-long inquiry into undisclosed gifts to Supreme Court justices and he promptly rejected it, calling the move “politically motivated.” The committee voted along party lines on Nov. 30 to subpoena Leo and Texas billionaire Harlan Crow following reports that Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito accepted — and did not disclose — free luxury travel and gifts from Crow, Leo and conservative donor Robin Arkley II. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/11/leonard-leo-subpoena-senate-supreme-court-gifts/

There is a two tiered justice system: one for rich Republicans and one for the rest of us little guys. And these people have the gall to pretend they are fighting the “elites”. The entire party is a fraud.
