They gave us abortion and legalized hard core pornography. Among others. Justices were Lewis Powell, Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun, William Rehnquist, Potter Stewart, William O. Douglas, Chief Justice Warren Burger, William Brennan, Byron White. Which were good and which were liberal?

[FULL TITLE] Page 203 of IG Report says Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton tarmac meeting was planned via Secret Service, FBI Stunning revelations from the IG report of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz (an Obama appointee) suggests that the 2016 tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton was coordinated — contradicting their claims that the meeting was accidental and coincidental. In 2016, Lynch — the U.S. attorney general under Barack Obama — secretly met for 30 minutes with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac in Arizona. At the time, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was being investigated by the FBI...

"Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of ****, okay? We know that. Yes, yes, he is. But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this." =========================================================================== At a rally in Arizona over the weekend, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said that President Donald Trump was a "piece of ****," claiming that "in a functioning democracy," Trump "would not be able to get away with this." While telling the crowd at MoveOn’s "Won’t Back Down Tour" about how "corrupt" the Supreme Court has become, Crockett said, "listen, Donald Trump is a piece of ****, okay?...

The Supreme Court just handed Trump the nuclear key: the authority to fire entrenched Deep State agents embedded across federal agencies. For the first time in 90 years, the President can dismantle the bureaucratic dictatorship that’s hijacked our Republic. FOR 90 YEARS, THE PRESIDENCY WAS A PRISON.. Since 1935, unelected operatives hid inside “independent” agencies like the FTC, SEC, and CPSC. These ideological soldiers wrote regulations like laws. Enforced them like tyrants. And they couldn’t be fired—not even by the President. Until now. THE COURT SWINGS THE HAMMER – TRUMP TAKES THE SWORD.. In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court...

"What if I told you that the Supreme Court just dropped a bombshell that is about to obliterate the Democrat party's chances of ever coming back to national power again?"

With each passing week, Chief Justice John Roberts and his Republican-friendly colleagues bestow never-before-enjoyed authorities upon the Trump Administration. The plan seems to be — if we grant the president everything he dreams of, maybe he’ll leave the high court unmolested. The republic may fall but we’ll still have the cool robes and life tenure. John Roberts is becoming the Neville Chamberlain of post-democratic government in America. Recent steps by the Supreme Court have allowed the executive branch to decimate the Department of Education, summarily fire tens of thousands of other civil servants, permit “third country removals” to notoriously dangerous...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six months into his second term, President Donald Trump has gotten almost everything he has wanted from the Supreme Court that he reshaped during his first. The justices, three of whom were appointed by Trump, have cleared the way for stripping legal protections from more than 1 million immigrants, firing thousands of federal employees, ousting transgender members of the military, removing the heads of independent government agencies and more. The legal victories are noteworthy on their own, but how the president is achieving them is remarkable. Administration lawyers are harnessing emergency appeals, which were used sparingly under...

The court’s conservative majority has repeatedly sided with Trump on matters related to federal agencies, including their spending, staffing and leadership. After the firings in May, a federal judge had ruled the firings were illegal and reinstated the three to their positions. The Supreme Court signaled again Wednesday that it believes the president has the power to fire the leaders of agencies and commissions that Congress said were independent.Granting another emergency appeal, the justices set aside a Baltimore judge’s order and upheld President Trump’s decision to fire the three Democratic appointees on the Consumer Product Safety Commission. In a brief...

The court’s order was the latest in a series of emergency rulings on the scope of the president’s power over independent agencies.The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed President Trump to fire the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, a five-member group that monitors the safety of items like toys, cribs and electronics.The court’s brief order was unsigned, which is typical when the justices act on emergency applications, though the court’s three liberal justices dissented. The order cited as its reasoning a previous decision involving the leaders of two other independent agencies, who the court ruled in May...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed President Donald Trump to fire members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, a federal agency set up by Congress to be independent of political pressures. The justices, granting an emergency request filed by the Trump administration, blocked a Maryland-based federal judge’s ruling that reinstated Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric and Richard Trumka Jr., all of whom had been appointed by then-President Joe Biden. Without the three members in place, the five-member commission would for now lack the necessary quorum to fulfill its obligation to protect consumers from defective products. Under existing law, members...

A federal judge on Thursday rehired the Democrat FTC Commissioner who was fired by President Trump earlier this year. US District Judge Loren AliKhan, a Biden appointee, said President Trump’s firing of Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the Democrat FTC Commissioner was illegal. The Trump Administration will promptly appeal this order. Politico reported: A federal judge has restored commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter to her role at the Federal Trade Commission, ruling that President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire the Democratic appointee in March was illegal. U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan issued the order on Thursday, saying that the Trump administration’s firings violated...

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Trump to resume efforts to dismantle the Department of Education in an apparent 6-3 vote along ideological lines, lifting a judge’s order to reinstate employees terminated in mass layoffs. The administration’s victory enables the president to move closer to fulfilling of one of his major campaign promises to oversee the elimination of the the Education Department, which was created in the 1970s. The majority did not explain their reasoning, as is typical in emergency decisions. The court’s three Democratic-appointed justices publicly dissented, calling their colleagues’ ruling “indefensible.” “It hands the Executive the power...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said during her book tour last weekend that she views Supreme Court opinions as a way to voice her personal convictions. “I just feel that I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues, and that’s what I try to do,” Jackson said.

Remember Chatty Cathy? She was a toy doll manufactured between 1959 and 1965. Pull the string and she would talk. We have the 2025 DEI Supreme Court version today- Chatty Ketanji. You do not need to pull a string to get her to talk. All you need to do is present a case in front of her. She will talk non-stop for a long time without ever making any sense. Ketanji Brown-Jackson was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2022. Since then, she has made herself stand out among her peers in her verbosity. She spoke more words in her...

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday denied Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s request for relief from an Obama-appointed judge’s order blocking enforcement of the state’s anti-illegal immigration laws. Last month, a federal judge held Florida’s Attorney General in contempt of court for enforcing the state’s immigration laws. Uthmeier previously told the corrupt Obama judge that he will not order state authorities to halt enforcement of immigration law. US District Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee, issued an injunction claiming Florida’s (state) law violates the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution in response to a lawsuit filed by the anti-American ACLU.

The Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump’s “wrecking ball” federal job cuts to proceed while the legal battle continues. The Tuesday night ruling underscores the urgent need to rein in an oversized federal workforce and restore efficiency to government operations. Despite ongoing challenges from partisan opponents, the Court’s decision signals a victory for taxpayers tired of bureaucratic bloat and a federal government that operates leaner and smarter. In a 6–3 ruling, the Supreme Court approved the White House's urgent petition submitted last week, allowing Executive Order No. 14210 to be implemented as the legal disputes continue in the Ninth...

he Supreme Court on Tuesday backed President Donald Trump’s effort to carry out mass firings and reorganizations at federal agencies, putting on hold a lower court order that had temporarily blocked the president from taking those steps without approval from Congress. In an unsigned order, the high court said that lower courts had stopped the plans based on the administration’s general goals, rather than specific agency “reduction in force” efforts to drastically cut government employees. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a member of the court’s liberal wing, dissented. The case stems from an executive order Trump signed in mid-February that kicked...

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court Votes 8-1 to ALLOW President Trump to CUT the Federal Workforce in any department he chooses Justice Ketanji Jackson was the ONLY "No" vote.

The justices overrode lower court orders that temporarily froze the cuts, which have been led by the Department of Government Efficiency. The court said in an unsigned order that no specific cuts were in front of the justices, only an executive order issued by Trump and an administration directive for agencies to undertake job reductions.
