they realize their mad emperor would melt the economy, which is the only thing they want to protect from trump because it’s the only thing that could directly impact them.

Probably not but they certainly should because it’s patently obvious to everyone else.

If anything, it realizes it’s losing power. Its legitimacy is long gone and I don’t think there’s any way to bring it back short of constitutional reforms.

Supreme Court has no legitimacy and should have been abolished after Citizens United in 2010 – easy choice.

Tariffs failing in the SC was always the plan. It’s why Trump is so vocally freaking out about what a big deal it is. He’s LYING about the effects to the country and himself.
Cantor Fitzgerald, previously owned and operated by Robert Lutnick (Yes, that Robert Lutnick), [is offering a service](https://www.wttlonline.com/stories/tariff-refunds-draw-wall-street-interest,14239) that will refund you a portion of the money you lost to tariffs immediately. In actuality, they’re taking the (full) refund amount, and giving you roughly 30% of the value, with the intent being on saving companies that are about to fail, and are too desperate to wait out the full refund.
This was always the plan. Trump farms people for tariff money, Lutnick scoops up 70% of the damages once it’s overturned.
It is, and has been, a scam.

It should be called the supremely corrupted court.

No, because big money talks. Just look at fat ol’ Clarence Thomas living high off the hog.

No, I think they realize they are in serious jeopardy of being impeached should the house and senate flip before elections no longer exist.

Nope. They want to legitimize and give legs to fascism so it can run, not just walk.

Losing? Its lost.
They appointed an alcoholic and a christofascist after it was revealed that they routinely take bribes in exchange for favorable rulings.
They will not be legitimate again until Roberts has been removed

To allow ice to stop people based on color is not acceptable irregardless of these outlaw bastards. How is this allowed.

Six are devoted to fascism and that’s what qualified them in the eyes of the ones who nominated and those who confirmed them. I’ve owned goldfish who were more legitimate as life guards than they are as members of SCOTUS and that is what History will remember

It’s insane that there is proof that multiple justices have lied under oath, taken bribes, and let their interests influence or decide for them and they’re still operational. So much of the structure of this country is based on precedent and tradition over actual enforcement mechanisms.
Ffs the SCOTUS was the only court in this nation without an ethics code

They lost legitimacy since Citizens United or even beforehand when it handled Bush the presidency which started this whole mess.

I firmly believe that history will show the Roberts court as the absolute worst in this nations history. Worse even than the Taney court that gave us the Dred Scott decision.

They’re not just losing legitimacy, they’re giving up their power. By giving the president immunity, they no longer have any checks on the executive branch. They’re useless.
HabANahDa on
No. They are making bank from republican bribes.

Maybe, but remember most Republicans hate taxes and tariffs are taxes.

I have to say, I had never listened to a Supreme Court session, but I did today.
I was actually given hope that logic was finally being used and perhaps Scotus will finally start paying attention and making decisions based on actual thought

“The vehicle [of tariffs] is the imposition of taxes on Americans, and that has always been the core power of Congress,” Roberts said.”
Hey MAGA… tariffs are taxes on you, not foreign powers. Even the Supreme Sellouts say so.
Suck it!

If your theoretical goal was to destroy all faith in the SCOTUS, you’d have a hard time doing better than the current justices have done (especially the majority)
1. Numerous bribery scandals – CHECK
2. Actively resisting implementing any ethical constraints – CHECK
3. Contorting logic to get whatever outcome you want – CHECK
4. Constantly shifting legal philosophies and Trashing decades of precedent based on transparently really weak rationale to get whatever partisan outcome you want – CHECK
5. Creating a president that’s immune from all accountability- CHECK
That’s a pretty impressive list of confidence destroyers.

No, and they don’t care. Why should they? They are set for life with free RV’s and lavish vacations and multiple homes and vacation homes and tons of insider trading profits. No checks or balances.
Kyonikos on
This tariff stuff today is legitimacy theater.
The Trump admin already has other justifications for tariffs lined up and SCOTUS knows if they give him a little pushback it won’t change much.
Unless they start telling him he can’t just declare everything is an emergency that justifies emergency powers we are still on the same trajectory.
(But yesterday was one hell of an election day. Yay.)
