This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country.
"This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law."

And here they come...like fucking clockwork.
I love how they just voluntarily line up to be blocked.๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
-
Only Brown and Sotomayor, the two women of color, are openly sharing their statements of dissent. Once again, leave it to women of color to speak truth to power with no fear and no regrets.
-
Justice Jackson is super eloquent. And. Spot. On.
-
That's why ACB went out her way to snipe back, but didn't directly address any of KBJ's concerns.
-
It certainly does me!
-
๐ฅฒ
-
It does!! ๐๐ฉตโค๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ช. Protests continue
-
๐ณ wow, we are screwed
-
Justice KJB is not wrong. Roberts keeps telling everyone to stop threatening judges for "doing their jobs." He never mentions 90% of threats, hatred & disrespect towards courts come from the White House. Federal Courts are doing the work Roberts court refuses to do.
-
Yup!! Off with their heads!!
-
Greed and corruption has taken over our justice systems.
-
Terrifying
-
As a now retired legal practitioner, it scares the living fguck out of me, and I'm in Canada.
-
-
Correct
With 6 White and Christian Nationalists on the Slime court weโre headed down a black hole
-
โฆ. Yes, it does! Yet, the country seems to lack an effective way at crushing the Nazi Regimeโs continued destruction! Whatโs it going to take? By midterms- the voting process will be untrustworthy!
-
Totally agree and it does!
-
She sure hit on the nerves of her coworkers, Amy Coney Islands response called her out by name. Whatโs that you say handmaiden? STFU
-
I can think of six of them that need to go.....
-
All right. Any advice on how to right the ship??
Cause that's what we need right now.
Ideas. Solutions Brainstorming.
A full economic general strike.
-
There's a reason, well 2 that I can think of why certain people will never read or consider her opinions. It is sickening. She is spot on.
-
She is right!
-
Wow! If this doesn't get Chuck Schumer to write a Very Concerned Letter, I don't know what will!
-
-
So let's do something about it America!
-
Shocking and horrifying
-
She knows more than we do. She's trying to warn us.
-
If it doesnโt, people are either too uneducated or feel it wonโt affect them somehow
-
True, Justice Jackson is correct, the Maga 6 are the most vile, lawless, corrupt, anti-constitution, justices in American History, they are fascist.
-
The greatest truth: All things die. Even empires. Even law.
-
YIKES
-
Indeed, and it does. Can we get a NEW one? Lol. You know, one that BELIEV3S IN and follows the intent of our founders?
-
The Roberts Supine Court laying down the law of red tooth and red claw.
-
Americans are sleepwalking through the fascist takeover of the government. Every singe day it's worse and worse. Getting in the streets 1x every 2 months won't do it. What's needed?Tens of millions daily. Labor and tax strikes.Say what you will about the so called "resistance," it has totally failed
-
๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ
-
1 brave soul speaks out. Bless her
-
Time to pack the court and impeach Alito and Thomas!
-
-
Currently, there is no rule of law in the US. Lawlessness prevails.
-
Elections have consequences. It's not like we werent warned about this stuff 10 years ago. All i could do was shake my head at the rising apathy and silly choruses of "I dont like either candidate!" Smh.
-
They have always been there to be our checks and balances. If they give this crazy persons this much power were are all in big trouble๐คฌ
-
I think it would have been better phrased as an existential threat to democracy rather than the rule of law. When America wakes up and says enough of this shit, the rule of law will once again prevail, and those that test it will not.
-
It does.
-
It does, me at least.
-
I, absolutely, agree with her statement!
How can an Executive Order change the Constitution?
This last six months has been SO overwhelming; and we have 3 1/2 more years of this crazy man that has said he wants to RULE America and the world๐ฑ๐คฌ
-
Thereโs literally no excuse left to not civil war.
-
Shit man ? This is got to stop!
-
It should, but the stupid people that were warned over and over still voted for this. They wonโt realize it till the s#\t falls on their head. And Iโm guessing not even then.
-
SCOTUS is... according to SCOTUS
That can't be good.
-
I beg to differ the 2010 supreme court was the threat to rule of law this court is just doing what that court made possible
-
Disbar Clarence

-
When the J6 1500 were pardoned I knew we were screwed.
-
She is so correct!
-
There was no need to prefaces in her statement, the SCOTUS is a Threat to the Rule of Law and Democracy.
-
Youโre either terrified by this because your sane, or cheering because the red hat has restricted blood flow to your brain.
-
Sitting around in a dear friendโs house filled with nazi memorabilia and statues was also a huge clue.
-
Sheโs stating the obvious. Roberts is either complicit or the weakest Chief Justice in memory. The people need to act. Vote out Republicans in a tsunami in โ26.
-
It does. Trust me. It does. ๐ณ
-
I said it from the beginning. They. Do. Not. Have. Our. Backs
-
It does.
-
It's not even about "Interpretation". A majority of the Supreme Court does not believe in the Bill of Rights... a document they are sworn to PROTECT as their life's calling.
-
Truly shocking from an acting Supreme Court justice. I've worked for law firms for 30+ years now as support staff, and never ever imagined the Supremes would be the ones to fall. But with the Thomas hearings, we had a bad feeling, and we lost Ginsburg, and added Kavanaugh, and now it is up to us.
-
-
I know Red Team & Blue Team are both focused on KBJโs fiery dissent, but itโs a dissent that neither Kagan nor Sotomayor were willing to endorse.
Sotomayorโs opinion is the one endorsed by all three liberal justices.
-
Fasten your seatbelt, it's going to be a very bumpy ride.๐
-
One of the most rational, legally deft minds in the whole world. That is not hyperbole
-
I am Scared multiple times that!!! Scared not only for myself and my family but also Scared for individuals and families everywhere in these United States and Scared for all who will live out their shortened lives after all these generations now still breathing are dead!!!
-
And she is 100% correct
-
I blame the Democrats for not being as relentless about our agenda as Republicans are, and all the Democrats who confirmed Clarence Thomas. I blame Ruth Bader Ginsburg for being egotistical and recalcitrant when she KNEW she was too old to remain on the Bench
-
It does!
-
Yeah, she's not writing that on a whim.
-
The Seditious 6, Reich-wing COTUS and Herr Shitler are all existential threats to democracy and humanity in general.
-
Even trump manufactured this Supreme Court with help from Leonard Leo as step one to an unlawful takeover of America- not just reshape it's democracy but destroy it aided by Corporate America now known as the "Deep State Oligarchy" which has been covert until trump & the hell fired opened opened
-
Well... it does. Fwiw.
-
You are correct! Hit me right in the chest!
-
Not scary enough for me to miss my mcmuffin
-
The court seems too excited to hand down decisions that make the court more and more meaningless.
The votes of reason aren't enough to keep the whole ship from sinking when the 6 others are blasting cannon balls in its hull.
-
Clarence Thomas didnโt clue you in?
-
If you donโt know who is part of your crew. Itโs probably time to figure that out and start preparing for the worst. They have already started coming for some of us but everyone needs to start asking, โWhat am I going to do when they come for me?โ
-
True...it is. And everyone needs to recognize that. To have a rule of law you MUST have habeas corpus for everyone and a defined set of due process actions for everyone. SCOTUS has now allowed federal agencies to ignore both. Without habeas corpus--the right to appear before a judge, a court,
-
She is right.
-
Yeah shitโs about to get real bad
-
Gotta love her!
-
This is where we are at right now. The Constitution is being shredded and everyone is standing around like they are simply admiring some artwork.
-
-
every day I wake up fucking furious.
........and then I think of how that poor woman must feel to have her very robes tainted by such fucking scumsucking filth.
-
I'm scared trump owns SCOTUS, SMDH
-
๐
-
Totally true.
-
-
The truest statement this Court has ever produced!
-
Yes. The โ Constitutional Crisisโ is over. HE has solidified his power and he knows it. I just wish everyone would realize HE could not have done it without the complicity of the Republican Party.
-
Democratic base should not vote for anyone who is not willing to impose age limit on the corrupt Court.
75 and you are out.
-
Why is it that after 3000 years we still have to pay service to thsi council of soothsayers who lord over all and above all?
These schmucks deserve to be pelted with fresh apples
-
If you hear the door shut behind you. Itโs democracy leaving.Either we go thru that door and bring it back.Or lock the door and decide youโre good with a tyrant Regime. Iโm going thru that door and all the danger that goes with it. And at least try to bring her back.Be safe take care. Force by Force
-
Yes it should, not that we needed to be told. The right is always so certain they are right, that they never listen to anyone but the cult leaders.
-
She confirms what many of us are saying -- and she sees it from the inside of the Court.
In other words, This SC wants to kill the rule of law. The irony is not lost on us that they are at the Helm of Constitutional Law.
-
Time to tear it down and rebuild.
-
We knew this was coming when McConnel blocked Garland from becoming a Supreme Cout Justice.
-
We knew this was coming.
-
She is saying the same thing we have ALL been saying.
-
Itโs not illogical to say a single state court shouldnโt be able to impose its will on the whole country.
And it doesnโt stop states taking the administration to court

Doesn't scare me because I knew this when SCOTUS butchered the Colorado Case to keep felons out of Public Office. People keep hoping & praying, instead of organizing, I don't believe in Santa Clause or escaping to another planet
-
Misquote.
-
White, middle and upper class Americans have enjoyed a lifetime of unfettered freedom and privilege, so many of them are not the least bit concerned with the rule of law. They simply cannot relate to the threat.
Nothing will change until they experience what others already have.
-
-
That's isn't the actual quote.
-
๐
-
Something I'd like to know: When the courts look at decisions previously made, do they look at the dissents attatched to the ruling?
-
So true. Trump is not king. Everyone deserves due process. For clearly unconstitutional EO nationwide injunction is the only way. SCOTUS sucks.
-
It scares the living fuck out of me.
-
We no longer have a rule of law. We have a dictator
-
Sheโs right.
-
I quite agree you have 4 justices who may be there for the wrong reasons โฆ
-
I met Sotomeyer once and other than being a gorgeous human being. I looked down into a bowel, looked up and saw her sitting across from me, said "I can't believe I am smoking weed in front a supreme court judge," she laughed. She told me they were the biggest danger then. I see why.

Very sad such an amazing person joined SCOTUS at such an insane time when her influence doesnโt go far enough given the bastards that bought the conservative โjustices.โ
-
#complicitmedia, tho: "Both sides."
-
Needs to go viral.
-
TRUTH
-
She's absolutely correct!
-
Only scares the living fuck out of everyone who truly loves their country.
-
Finally a SC Justice who speaks the truth?
-
That should be a big headline in every newspaper still operating.
-
It does that exactly.
-
This Supreme Court terrifies me.
-
The Republican have chosen one party rule forever. Democracy is over. Trump monarchy begins thanks to SCOTUS!
-
When ruzzians are saying there will be a civil war in your country, you should take that seriously, bc it means they are actively working on your country to end up in civil war. And its about 20 years now that they are incessantly preaching the imminence of civil war in the US.
-
I AM SHOCKED AND FEARFUL.
-
ACB thinks King George was our founding father, SoโฆHandmaid tale time , kiddos!!!
-
holy sht!
-
Justice shouldn't take sides. Politics and personal bias is overt in the Court. No bueno.
-
-
Fun fact... those are just squishy humans
-
It sure as hell is, these fucking conservatives are insane.
-
It should but no one ever listens to BW... And to see Barrett show her whole ass criticizing her is crazy.
The fact that she has Black children under her care while she calls the most qualified person on the bench ignorant, enrages me. ๐ก
-
Absolutely!! It sure does.. and for many years to come!
-
Fucking A Bro !๐ฏ
-
-
Democracy died and they have no clue.
-
Democrats canโt afford another moderate looking to maintain norms. We need an executive branch thatโs ready to force judicial reform.
Start corruption investigations. Nominate more Justices. Absolutely burn the current system to the ground.
-
I HADN'T READ THAT BEFORE. DO YOU KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH SHE SAID THAT?
-
And, yet, She persists ! Sheโs absolutely correct and youโre absolutely correct. It scares the fuck out of me!
-
All the major problems, turmoil and chaos in our country today can be traced directly back to this Supreme Court
-
Sheโs a moron, disregard what she says
-
Everything going on in our poor nation is scary and heartbreaking...
-
Fun fact: it's scary enough to scare those OUTSIDE of the country too!

Sheโs just calling balls and strikes pointing out that fact.

a lot of things doing that at this time. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Yes.

We have been saying that since the first trump election. They have been selected by the federalist society and inserted buy the republican party 2 of which they violated senate rules and stole 2 picks from President Obama. And they lied at thier conformation hearing.

One day they will come to arrest her.

It does. It's frightening.

Brown is not the sharpest tool in the shed

Three women--one Black, one Hispanic, one Jewish, aged 54, 65 and 71--have the burden of saving the nation on their frail shoulders. It saddens me to think of the obstacles they've had to surmount to reach the high court, how intelligent, skilled and dedicated they are, and THIS is their reward.

"Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent.โ - Excerpted from Justice Sotomayorโs dissent.

Wow. What page?

AGREED!!!!

Terrifying but correct. That is where we are.

I mean it's been that way for years. I guess I'm glad one of them finally admitted it but when Trump got 3 lifetime appointees we knew we were fucked.
Loudwire
Rock music news, interviews, reviews and more from rock artists.

It scares me
-
She should have been more specific...
The 6 radical, right-wing, extremist, Trump-loving 'justices' who make up laws to fit their personal and political ideologies, Are an existential threat to democracy in America.
-
The really scary part is it took this long for them to realize that.
-
Yeah it makes me run for the yogurt or takra.

-
The institution we considered โSupremeโ is supremely indifferent to our laws, our civil rights, to even common sense.

Fuck being scared. I'm pissed.
