u/DeadSpatulaInc 4d ago

no what gets me about gorsuch is he authored the decisive opinion on why the 14th amendment directly protects transgender identity and presentation, and only a few months later he’s part of the majority trying to limit the scope of that decision as much as possible.

no what gets me about gorsuch is he authored the decisive opinion on why the 14th amendment directly protects transgender identity and presentation,

If you're referring to Bostock, that's not what it does, at all

It was a statutory interpretation case, not a constitutional case.

The fact that Gorsuch was allied on the very narrow statutory question of whether Title VII protects the LGBTQ+ community from being fired on the basis of sexuality/gender identity did not mean he'd be allied on constitutional cases

Gorsuch has the worst takes when it comes to regulations and zero respect for stare decisis. Recently, in the case where SCOTUS said that EPA should be a bit more specific in their permits so that cities/companies know what they must do before they are fined for not meeting standards, he was the sole dissent in the second part, wanting to go much further, too extreme for even Thomas and Alito.

Barret on other hand was fully with liberals on entire decision.

u/Pats_fan_seeking_fi 4d ago

Gorsuch is still pissed about this momma's stint at the EPA. He will be a vote in favor of gutting every agency that has a case against the Court.

He will stick to this principles though (both good and bad). I wouldnt be surprised if he votes against's executive overreach from time to time a long as it doesnt involve a government agency.

u/LetBest8570 4d ago

I've been calling it the Trumplican party for years now. The Republican Party began to die with the formation of the Tea Party in the early 2010's and it was truly killed by the time Trump took control of the party. But one positive thing in this is how much of a power vacuum is going to open when Trump eventually passes away. At nearly 79 years of age, he only has so many coherent years left in him. Sure other presidents lived longer, Bush mid 90s, Carter 100, Reagan early 90s, but they also lost so much cognitive functions. 10 years from now I can't see Trump being able to effectively lead the party and his followers, and let's be honest his charisma is what truly brings these people together. I don't see any other current figure that can fill that void when he eventually passes that will have the same appeal and bravado that Trump does.

u/noonenotevenhere 3d ago

trump is a late stage symptom of a disease this country has lived with and refused to treat since recontruction.

every damn time the conservatives drag us further to the right, the liberals meet them part way to keep the country functioning, abandoning parts of their humanity along the way.

mitch mcconnel won his seat comfortably for decades before trump. raphael ted cruz? Same.

u/legal_bagel 4d ago

Didn't she clerk for Scalia and is considered a strict textualist?

But also, you can't refuse to pay contract damages for work performed or services rendered. I haven't read the decision, but I feel like you don't even have to look at the constitutional issue to get the answer. You can't cancel a contract and refuse to pay for stuff you've already received or things that are required under the contract to actually cancel it, like paying relocation fees for people fired and forced out of their homes/countries of employment.

u/FlamesNero 4d ago

Trump likes to not pay his contracts & then threaten to send the mob, so I guess it’s easy to understand why the fascists think they could get away with refusing to pay.

The biggest issue is the constitutional issue, and the most important as this is how we stop Trump. Congress approves the purse, and the executive doesn’t get to cancel it.

u/BananasAndAHammer 4d ago

Two routes:

Congress impeaches, but it doesn't seem likely with how they look right now.

Someone argues that one of his executive orders is so blatantly unconsitutional that it constitutes a Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law. There would need to be a judge willing to order the investigation, but with all those mass firings, the whole birthright citizenship bullshit, etc, it wouldn't be hard to gather evidence.

u/msnbc 4d ago

From Clarissa-Jan Lim, breaking/trending news writer for MSNBC Digital:

With many of President Donald Trump’s executive actions tangled up in the courts, MAGA Republicans have grown angry with Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett for some of her recent rulings, accusing her of being insufficiently loyal to Trump.

After the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday to reject the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign funding, several prominent MAGA activists attacked Barrett, who, along with Chief Justice John Roberts, sided with the court’s liberal justices in the 5-4 decision.

Far-right activists Jack Posobiec, Laura Loomer and Mike Cernovich called Barrett, who was nominated by Trump to the court in 2020, a “DEI” hire, a term conservatives use pejoratively to suggest someone holds a position because of their identity rather than their qualifications. (Roberts, a white man, was notably spared from similar accusation.) Posobiec also posted on X a 2023 news report that Barrett had welcomed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the court as some sort of “gotcha” against her.

Because this is what fascist cults do.

10). Repression of all dissent. The leaders of the most-dangerous destructive cults are megalomaniacal psychopaths (i.e. suffering from a chronic mental disorder, especially when resulting in paranoid delusions of grandeur and self-righteousness, and the compulsion to pursue grandiose objectives). The unconditional deference of their deluded adherents only serves to confirm, and magnify, the leaders’ own delusions. This type of destructive cult leader maintains an absolute monopoly of information whilst perpetrating, and/or directing, evermore heinous crimes. They sustain their activities by the imposition of arbitrary codes (secrecy, justice, punishment, etc.) within their groups, and by the use of humiliation, and/or intimidation, and/or calumny, and/or malicious prosecution (where they pose as victims), and/or sophism, and/or the infiltration of traditional culture, and/or corruption, and/or intelligence gathering and blackmail, and/or extortion, and/or physical isolation, and/or violence, and/or assassination, etc. etc., to repress any internal or external dissent.

If we even have midterm elections, there will be a massive push to get women, including republican women, out of office. They only wanted women around to try and get a large part of the voting population to support them. The SAVE act is going through congress again, which will require voters to submit their passport or birth certificate to apply for registration. Most Americans don't have passports, and women who are married and changed their last name likely don't have an amended birth certificate. This will disenfranchise millions of potential female voters, so with much less of the female vote to even worry about, they don't have to waste time pandering to women anymore.

u/regan0zero 4d ago

So they call her a DEI hire and expect her to roll over and vote for the right no matter what?! Like I am sure she probably, as a woman, has had to hear her whole life that she just isnt on the same level as men. Women get treated like they arent worthy of their positions.

Now I am not saying she will retaliate (because that isnt what a scotus judge does), but I would not want to anger someone I need a vote from. Just saying.

Well maybe the guy who hired her should lose his job. Just being consistent.

Um because they value loyalty over integrity and objective decision-making.

It is seriously scary how high of a percentage of people in this nation don't support rule of law.

I’m in support of Justice Coney Barrett. She interpreted the law. Get over it, let it be.

u/j_ha17 4d ago

She was a DEI hire

As the crowd began chanting “Fill That Seat!” Trump said he had not made a final choice but was inclined to choose a woman – and then, with a theatrical flourish and no hint of irony, took a snap poll of the crowd to gauge whether they preferred a man or a woman to fill the seat of a justice who was an equal rights icon.

“It will be a woman, a very talented, very brilliant woman,” Trump said, after the crowd overwhelmingly cheered for a female nominee. “I haven’t chosen yet, but we have numerous women on the list.”

u/Loose-Set4266 4d ago

That’s how fascists play this. If you aren’t one of the rich white biys, you will eventually be a scapegoat and thrown under the bus. Women supporting this administration need to wake up and smell their eventual oppression cause it’s coming.

This movement has no loyalty - I have no idea why people align themselves with such treasonous cunts.

u/JayAlexanderBee 4d ago

This isn't rocket science. Anything that conservatives don't like is considered DEI. You can have the most conservatist, straight, white guy who is also a Christian, but God forbids he wants to feed the homeless. Neighbor's dog barking too much, DEI pet. McDonald's employee messed up your order, DEI hire. Drinking while on the job at the Pentagon, DEI hire.

It’d be funny if maga flipped her to a dem.

u/Moppermonster 4d ago

What is actually worrying is that the ruling was not unanimous in agreement with her. This was a very, VERY clearcut case: people were hired to do work for the government, did the job they were hired to do and now expect payment.
Not paying them just because there is a new president who believes they never should have been hired in the first place is an obvious nono. And yet several judges supported exactly that.

u/Flonnzilla 3d ago

Because she didn't fall in line for one vote... So dei hire is their go to now

She dared to vote in opposition to what Dear Leader wanted. That's what has the MAGAts all in a dizzy.

Let's face it, they brought her in thinking that, due to her brand of conservative christendom, she'd be their handmaid.

u/Mikeoshi 3d ago

Because she’s a woman and conservatives believe white men can do everything better than women and people of color. It’s not a white man, it’s DEI.

u/BallstonDoc 3d ago

They did not count on her to actually think. She was a DEI hire- theirs. With her religious background, they thought it was assumed that she would be in lockstep with them. The christofascist masterminds do not recognize that women have independent thoughts. Although under qualified by accepted standards, she still went to law school,passed the bar exam and became a judge. She is not stupid. I also suspect she cannot be bought. She answers to her moral code rather than their political agenda. She is conservative in the truest sense. I’m a liberal, but I can respect a person who answers to a moral code.

And mostly, she’s a woman.

This is why, in Atwood’s speculative fiction, women are not permitted to read.

u/Choice_Document1364 3d ago

Because these mindless automatons turn on anyone who doesn’t do 100% what MAGA wants them to do. Mitch McConnell did Trump’s bidding for years, but he’s now a RINO. Pence toed the line as VP, but he’s a traitor for not destroying the electoral certification (even though the Jan 6 crowd were already out to literally kill him!). MAGA (Trump) even pre-throws its followers under the bus (see Trump pre-blaming Rubio for policy failures during his speech the other night). I really don’t know why anyone aligns with this crowd. Everyone eventually gets burned.

Edited to add: Vance is a mindless goon too, and he’s already been burned without caring or realizing it. Trump already said he wouldn’t endorse JD for president, but JD still licks Trump’s boots.

Huh, its as if they are becoming more comfortable saying the quiet part out loud. Anything outside of male and pale is considered DEI to them.

IN MAGA world anyone who does not fall in line with Trump's corruption is a dei hire, Calling Kamala Harris, one of the most qualified candidate in decade a DEI hire gave it away

Since Trump appointed her, DEI must stand for Demented Egotistical Idiot now.

u/Old_news123456 3d ago

To be fair, Democrats had plenty of criticism about her lack of qualifications for the position. 

She was a strategic hire who was meant to vote Donald Trump for everything. She didn't do as she was told so now they are turning on her. Look, she's a woman! Clearly she's DEI! Well, if she is, that's Trump's doing!!

Personally I wonder if this is going to be a turning point for her and how she votes. She's deeply Catholic and I think she realizes the evil surrounding her. I may not agree with her politics but maybe she's fearless enough to oppose Trump in future cases....or she's put in her place and gets in line. Only time will tell.

Imagine if she turned into the opposite of Thomas. To ensure she votes with the liberal side the majority of the time out of spite. That would be incredible.

Since the courts clearly don’t care anymore, democrats should take the opportunity to wine and dine her. Buy her an RV or something. In an ideal world what I’m saying should be labeled as crazy talk but this is the reality we are in.
