Get fucked, GOP.
Roberts sided with the more liberal justices. Trump's appointees continue to be shit stains.

Yeah. It's frightening how undemocratic these conservative justices are.
Exactly my thoughts. Barret is going to fuck this country badly.
Song about fingers or something. Flipping off not what he meant.
It's not.

One one hand great, on the other hand, we are fucked when Barret gets in. Pack the fucking courts and DC and Puerto Rico statehood. Fuck these dirty fucks.
I hope I'm wrong on this one, but don't expect it at all unless the court starts to do some INSANE rulings, as in overruling gay marriage tier of rullings and even then I wouldn't expect anything.
Dude was tremendous, but he was still human. He wasn't above little moments like that. (yeah it's part of the song, but that smile says it all)
This has been the reality for decades, though.
Might as well take the win now, understand what's coming, and hope people can show up and swing the presidency and senate, then go from there.
I mean, that's already known. It's already a mess and has been for a while. This particular ruling is what the thread is about and it is in fact good news.
Really? Well the GOP seems to be worried. They already started making ridiculous constitutional amendment ploys.
Yup very. we Need to expand the courts. and pass a shitload of legislation.
Think positively. Maybe her husband won't give her permission to rule on it.
The scary thing is that if Barrett had been confirmed by this point, this would be 5-4 to uphold the request.
Vote early and as safe as you can, people, because the longer you wait, the more likely it will not count.

Trump's coronavirus superspreading may have delayed the SC appointment just long enough to result in this outcome.
He's in survival mode. He's worried the Court is going to be packed.
Republicans want to push everything back to the courts once they've packed them to get the rulings they want for decades because those are lifetime appointments. This is literally why we HAD to win 2016. They're gonna dig up settled law and run it back to the courts and essentially try to drag the country back decades. If they have their way, the country in a lot of aspects is gonna get drug back to the 50's-60's if they have their way. Voting has become life or death for even a larger swath of americans now.

They were talking about this on the 538 podcast a few days back.
The thought floated out there was that the court would be nuts to start making major shifts right away. Blowing their wad right off the bat just begs Democrats to pack the court.
What they'll likely do is spend a couple years ignoring major cultural hot buttons, while leaning right on smaller cases that are tangentially related to things like marriage equality and abortion (to start steering things to the right).
Then, when the GOP regains control of some portion of the federal government and is able to prevent court packing, the hammer drops.
Any good bits from dissents? I can't possibly imagine the legal rationale for opposing allowing ballots to be counted after election day, especially considering it was done that way for decades.
Yup, they were not likely have to wait out till the 2022 midterms without something that forces Biden's hand. He needs to make this priority #1 during his first hundred days if he gets the Senate.
