  1. He “blasts” them for belonging to a different denomination of the Church of the Doctrine of the Questions that are Major.

    He simply thinks they’re heretics and they adjudicate to a false god.

  2. > Justice Neil Gorsuch, who joined today’s majority opinion in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, tackled that query in the solo concurrence that he filed. “My dissenting colleagues have defended the major questions doctrine in the past,” Gorsuch observed, referring to the legal doctrine which says that when the executive branch seeks to wield significant regulatory power, it must first point to an unambiguous delegation of such power by Congress to the executive.

    >In Biden v. Nebraska (2023), for example, the Court relied on the major questions doctrine when it struck down President Joe Biden’s unilateral student debt cancellation plan. The Court in that case found the executive branch guilty of wielding power that the legislative branch had not properly delegated to it. Unsurprisingly, Biden v. Nebraska was repeatedly cited as a precedent for striking down Trump’s overreach in today’s tariffs decision.

    >Among those who voted against Biden in the 2023 student loan case were Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh. Today, however, those same three justices voted in support of Trump’s tariffs.

    Justices are supposed to uphold the law.

    But in Trump’s America, justices are suppose to be loyal to a law-breaker.

    I didn’t know that they had an current credibility.

    >Gorsuch did not accuse Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh of hypocrisy. It is clear, however, that Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh were willing to let Trump get away with the same kind of executive overreach that they previously refused to let Biden get away with. **Whether or not that glaring inconsistency will mar their future credibility remains to be seen.**

    They already have no credibility. They’re boot lickers.

  5. Clarence Thomas is guilty of taking bribes from his wealthy donor.

    Alito is guilty by way of his insurrectionist wife.

    That they didn’t rule in favor of taking away rights this time is wild.

  6. Re: Thomas, Alison and Kavanaugh “Whether or not that glaring inconsistency will mar their future credibility remains to be seen.” Lol, yeah that remains to be seen.

  7. Credibility is their only power and they have forfeited it to the president in a shameful act of self-immolation

  8. Thomas is about as intelligent as a piece of coral and says as much. How come nobody has ever called him the GOP’s DEI hire?

  9. The ring of corruption will be studied for years in the future. They wont have any legacy. Clarence’s legacy is wanting a motor home and freebie holidays. How these people sold themselves and betrayed public trust will be case studies.

  10. I’m not ready to declare that Roberts, Barrett and Gorsuch aren’t partisan hacks, but the dissenting opinion made clear that Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh are just Republican operatives in robes.  What a joke.  They will rubber-stamp anything for a Republican politician.

  11. Just to be clear, the only person he didn’t blast was Chief Justice Roberts. Everyone else was put on notice. The people I’ve listened to indicate this is what probably delayed the ruling 6 weeks.

  12. They’re “originalists” which is a fancy word for “Republican political operative masquerading as a justice”

  13. Kavanaugh is the cringiest. We have learned over a thousand years of consistency what to expect from Alito and Thomas.

    I like BEER!

  14. Conservatives at the same time believe that it should take 2/3rds majority of the legislature to raise taxes and also that Trump should be able to raise taxes however he wants.

  15. Gee i wonder how those guys would have sided had it been President Bernie Sanders (the populist on the left).

  16. Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh.

    Corrupt as hell, and nobody is doing a damn thing about it.

    Thomas and Alito have a lot of evidence of bribery they should be held accountble for.

    And Kavanaugh has offered no credible explanation (baseball tickets?) how his massive debt suddenly got paid off right before his nomination and confirmation

  17. Gorsuch has been a surprisingly moderate voice considering his being a Trump appointee. Barrett hasn’t been awful either. While they’re both far more conservative than my preference and likely to vote in ways I don’t like, they both seem to actually be traditional judges — that is, they try to truly interpret the law rather than simply override it with their personal beliefs.

    The SC as an institution has lost my respect, but I guess it still functions to some degree.

  18. > Gorsuch did not accuse Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh of hypocrisy.

    That ship sailed years ago. They hypocrites to their bone and is the reason why the next Democratic President should pack the court on day 1
