    While obviously great news, can the SC please pick a lane and stick to it with the precedence that they themselves create? For all the various (obvious illegal but who knows) firings there seems to be a completely different decision. No he can’t fire you so you’re safe (for now), no he can’t fire you but we’re gonna allow it anyways (for now), no he can’t fire you but it happened so oopsie poopsie. I know Thomas said they don’t care about precedent any more, but at least be a little consistent with your day to day rulings. It’s utter chaos and I can’t believe how stressful this must be for the lower court judges that are trying to actually maintain law in this country.

      I think the real criteria is how much effect it will have on those corrupt assholes’ wealth.

      They know blowing up the fed will make them immediately worse off, so they don’t allow it. They know that the mass firing of union-protected workers will weaken public unions, so they let it go through.

      They’re on the take and one of the primary drivers of the reactionary political project.

        If the consequence of mass-firing union workers isn’t the courts reinstating them, then the consequences simply become wildcat strikes, sympathy strikes, breaking scabs’ kneecaps, etc. instead.

        Somebody needs a reminder that things like the National Labor Relations Act and Executive Order 10988 were created to protect them from us, not the other way around.

      A normal Supreme Court? Yes. This Supreme Court? I think we all know the answer to that.

    They’ll let Trump get away with almost anything, but they know letting him mess with the Fed will hurt their 401ks, and that is where they draw the line.

    So is the plan to get their investments sorted and out of the US during the 3 month window they just created, only to allow these morons to fuck everything up in the new year?
