#Gorsuch, a man with an * next to his name, who has no business sitting on the nation's highest #court, is taking a page out of #Alito 's faux-indignation handbook. He talks down to the justices who have the nerve to criticize his decisions, as if his way is THE right way by virtue of the fact that it's his decision. We're going to have to do something about these justices because living with their #lawless rulings for the next 30 years isn't an option.

168 followers · 895 posts · Server sfba.socialIs this specific Supreme Court illegitimate?
In my opinion yes. Mitch McConnell and the Republicans in the Senate made this specific court's 6 Republican members illegitimate. Here's why, McConnell:
- Blocked Obama's appointment of Merrick Garland
- Did not allow a proper hearing and vetting of Neil Gorsuch
- Blocked investigation of Brett Kavanaugh and rushed the hearing process
- Rushed the hearing of Amy Coney Barrett
- Allowed Amy Coney Barrett to have a hearing a Senate vote in spite of his argument used when blocking Merrick Garland
Regarding this specific court, here's why
- Several justices said or implied that Roe was settled law
- Several justices said or implied that the Supreme Court should not overrule a precedent
- Published and verified corruption of Clarence Thomas
- Published and verified corruption of Samuel Alito
- Clear ethics violations that would not be allowed of any other Federal judge

https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/110634312659847999
In *de novo* history, #Gorsuch, et al, see capital formation and operation in the market as independent of the state and of the public. This (intentionally, I assume) ignores how the state was and is intrinsic to creating and enforcing property rights.

It’s worth noting that Gorsuch doesn’t just join with the liberal Justices when it comes to tribal rights; he often seems to lead them. In Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians v. Coughlin, which was decided on June 15th and involved bankruptcy law, Gorsuch was the lone dissenter on the side of the Chippewa.

"Gorsuch, the court’s most consistent supporter of Native American rights, also hired the court’s first Native American law clerk. Tobi M.E. Young, who is believed to be the first member of a Native American tribe to clerk for a Supreme Court justice, clerked for Gorsuch during the 2018 term"

Justices Jackson and Gorsuch seem strange
Team up for their own mutual gain

That their path really glows
