Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Do you mean who's in charge of the supreme court? Theoretically it is non-partisan, in reality it is currently Republican stacked.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 56 points 4 months ago

An American politician who claims they want to do good stuff but who is not ready to break the power of the supreme court it's simply not serious about what they're saying.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 51 points 4 months ago

sure, and so what? there's a lot the democrats could still do, yet refuse

[–] half_giraffe@hexbear.net 44 points 4 months ago

Yeah obviously the president of the US and the Senate couldn't possibly be controlled by Democrats, because otherwise they would have the absolute ability to remake the supreme court. It's too bad, gosh it sucks that we live under the control of Republicans who control every arm of the federal government.

I'm pretty sure that immunity ruling means that Joe Biden is technically within his rights to annul the supreme court via JDAM at any time

The Supreme Court is stacked yes

It's stacked because the Democrats absolutely rolled over every fucking time. When the Republicans blatantly tried to steal a seat nomination from Obama, the Democrats went "wow that is so rude" and did fuck all to stop it

They're in power now and when all these anti queer laws started they continued to do absolutely fuck all about it

Democrats will not lift a finger to protect your rights
