I’m committing $30 million to reforming the #SupremeCourt. It’s a small price to pay to protect our #democracy
Jim Kohlberg

..."The U.S. Supreme Court has changed from a once venerated institution and third pillar of our democracy to an ideologically driven, partisan, and intellectually dishonest creator of minority rule. Undisclosed gifts to Justice Clarence Thomas, unacknowledged conflicts of interest in the January 6 case, and a failure to live up to an ethics standard that every other judge in the country must adhere to have driven Americans’ confidence in the institution to new lows.

Seventy percent of Americans think the court now puts ideology over impartiality and I am part of that overwhelming majority. These dire straits have driven me to commit $30 million to the Brennan Center for Justice to require term limits and an enforceable standard of ethics requiring recusal in conflicts of interest.

Starting with Citizens United, which equated money with speech, to Shelby, which weakened the Voting Rights Act, through the repeal of Roe and to the latest immunity ruling, the Court has consistently favored the powerful, the wealthy, and ideologues over the working class and the American people. In short, it has rigged the system to make it harder to vote, made every single vote less important than wealthy contributors, and made it easier to gerrymander districts to keep corrupt parties in power and unaccountable to the electorate.

The six conservative justices that make up the majority on the Court exploit originalism and textualism to hide the true political nature of their rulings, basing decisions on ideology rather than objectivity and the law. In every one of their sworn testimony before the Senate, each swore allegiance to stare decisis—then promptly ignored their own sworn testimony.
...
We are at a critical juncture; if we allow this court to rule unimpeded it will reverse 60 years of jurisprudence trying to level the playing field away from the moneyed ideologically driven elites and the corporate interests that have so much sway over our politics through lobbying and fundraising.

We must not allow this to happen. We must do what we can. We must find ways to reverse the reactionary drift of the judicial system. We must not allow the Federalist Society to continue to be the gatekeeper of the Supreme Court and continue to corrupt the judiciary."...

Supreme Court erklärt teilweise Immunität für Donald Trump

Ordering some extra popcorn: The Supreme Court just gave presidents a superpower. Here’s its explanation

Any other country, and US would be there to invade, bomb, sanction and blockade the country to submission.

But the god blessed US of A is turning into an an open and uncensored banana republic with the backing of the the Christian Taliban members of the Supreme Court and their corrupt conservative buddies.

With its immunity ruling on Monday, the Supreme Court granted former President Donald Trump’s wish of all but guaranteeing that his criminal trial for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election will not go to trial before the 2024 election in November.

It also granted presidents in general a definitive “absolute immunity” from prosecution for core official acts and said presidents should be presumed immune for a much more expansive list of acts.

Not-Vaxx Never Mandatory

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that #California’s attempt to #mandate the #Covid-19 shots was #illegal and that Jacobson v. Massachusetts did not apply because the #not-vaxx is not a #vaccine and the state could not claim a legitimate state interest in #forcing #medical #treatments that do not provide immunity.

#HealthFreedomDefenseFund et. al have won a significant #victory in the #NinthCircuit, which reversed dismissal of their lawsuit challenging the Los Angeles Unified School District’s (“LAUSD”) #mandatory #vaccination policy for all employees.

Reversing the decision of the Central District of California in #LosAngeles, the Ninth Circuit majority held that, first, the case was not mooted by #LAUSD’s rescission of the mandate after oral argument last September, 2023. The majority called out LAUSD’s gamesmanship for what it was – a bald-faced attempt at avoiding an adverse ruling by trying to create an issue of mootness. On the merits, the majority ruled that the district court had misapplied the #SupremeCourt’s 1905 decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts when it dismissed LAUSD’s lawsuit on grounds that the mandate was rationally related to a legitimate state interest. In Jacobson, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a smallpox vaccination mandate because it related to “preventing the spread” of smallpox.

The majority, however, noted that #HFDF had alleged in the lawsuit that the #COVID #jabs are not “traditional” vaccines because they do not prevent the spread of COVID-19 but only purport to mitigate COVID symptoms in the recipient. This, HFDF had alleged in its complaint, makes the COVID jab a medical treatment, not a vaccine.

The court recognized that mitigating symptoms rather than preventing the spread of disease “distinguishes Jacobson, thus presenting a different government interest.” Based on this reasoning, the majority disapproved the trial court’s contention that, even if the jabs do not prevent the spread, “Jacobson still dictates that the vaccine mandate is subject to, and survives, the rational basis test.”

The court held that “[t]his misapplies Jacobson,” which “did not involve a claim in which the compelled vaccine was ‘designed to reduce symptoms in the infected vaccine recipient rather than to prevent transmission and infection.”’ Jacobson does not, the majority concluded, extend to “forced medical treatment” for the benefit of the recipient.

The court declined to give any deference to pronouncements by the #CDC that the “COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.” As the court asked rhetorically, “safe and effective” for what? The majority pointed to HFDF’s allegation that CDC had changed the definition of “vaccine” in September 2021, striking the word “immunity” from that definition. The court also noted HFDF’s citations to CDC statements that the vaccines do not prevent transmission, and that natural immunity is superior to the vaccines.

In a separate concurrence, Judge Collins wrote that the district court “further erred by failing to realize that [HFDF’s] allegations directly implicate a distinct and more recent line of Supreme Court authority” for the proposition that “a competent person has a constitutionally protected liberty interest in refusing unwanted medical treatment[.]” Citing the Supreme Court’s decision in Washington v. Glucksberg, Judge Collins noted that the right to refuse unwanted medical treatment is “entirely consistent with this Nation’s history and constitutional traditions,” and that HFDF’s allegations in this case “are sufficient to invoke that fundamental right.”

It’s important to note, since this will not be the last attempt to at #global #depopulation, that most of the pragmatic appeals to getting #vaxxed have turned out to have been based on #false assumptions and #illegal actions by #corporations and various levels of #government.

Peering into the Corrupt Court’s Pretensions and Corruption

Gift link.

There were so many things that happened yesterday in the Supreme Court’s hearing on presidential immunity that it’s hard to know where to start. But one part that captured it for me was Sam Alito’s line of argument that presidential immunity might be necessary to make it possible for presidents to leave office voluntarily, or that not having some broad grant of immunity would make refusal to leave office more likely.
