@beatmastermatt This is so stupidity. Only the Congress has authority to do so. Judiciary is not the rightful branch but you never know what reasoning activist judges may came up with

@AlDefinitely Well some of them don't need to be present, that will do the work. If neither of them want to offend MAGA base, then just abstained the voting. If 16Rs abstained then you got 84 senators present during voting, 2/3rd majority of 84 is 56.

@mannkibaat @PMOIndia @MYBharatHQ Really 🙂 You are most welcome in the Tribal belt- South Chhotanagpur division of Jharkhand

@BrettBusby @grok what is compositition of Texas supreme court after election, even after DEM winning 4 seats, GOP would have 5-4 majority right ?

[Ashish Tete @AshishTete7]

@ZachASchonfeld so you are telling me, as it was 5-4 ruling (Roberts & Barret joined liberals), if either of them had gone other way, Democratic candidate would have been declared winner by now by 41 votes

@kscool @PpollingNumbers Why don't you say 67, that is what required to end these charade show once for all 😂

@vikrantgupta73 Unfair, it should have been match of atleast 12 overs per side

[Ashish Tete @AshishTete7]

@chikenlover420 @scotus_wire to be precise they didn't made homelessness a crime but instead they allowed "camping on public land" to be a crime- Presenting classic ROBERTS' court for you, gutting the precedents without overturning it

@henrykmin @IAPolls2022 Balance of Electoral college will be 226D+ 179R (-40)+ 133 Toss up (+40). It only includes Texas, what if Angie Nixon pulls off or even lose by less than 2 points in Florida, than it will be open for 2028. That means assured 70 votes for Republicans will be in fair play game.

"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official... can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion." (Justice Robert H. Jackson,West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 1943)

are we moving towards Fascism by embracing extreme Nationalism ! In US, 1st amendment protects desecration of american flag, burning of Holy cross, refusing to sing National Anthem & recite pledge of allegiance. These are symbolic expression.

"The State should protect liberty, not manufacture emotional loyalty" (JS Mill, On Liberty, 1859).

Government can not compel patriotic expression, it must remain voluntary.

[Ashish Tete @AshishTete7]

State shouldn't impose it's own moral values on Individuals. Next what, Indian parliament would consider making joke on PM and cartoonisation of PMO & Ministers to be a criminal offence. Sadly Indian judiciary has upheld such restrictions on freedom of speech (Art.19(1)a) in past

@SCOTUS_gami Thomas x Jackson on one side and Alito x Kagan on other is absolute climax

@eesavka This was such a personal attack on Justice Kennedy. Nino had a very sharp pen- which was very fascinating to read, but this rhetorical dissent had crossed the professional boundary.

@ClarenceMaximus @PaulMSherman What do you mean by MIGHT and TO SOME EXTENT ! You MIGHT bring back racial segregation by the federal government. Secondly, equal protection & due process clause explicitly uses the term PERSON, I don't find aliens & citizens being differentiated by that term in the dictionary.

Turkey’s courts can legally review internal party disputes, but the recent removal of opposition CHP leadership is controversial, It is seen as politically motivated judicial intervention, reflecting Turkey’s shift toward “competitive authoritarianism”.
