Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Can't the Supreme court strike this down?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 61 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

YUP. Guaranteed they will. They've warned these assclowns to stop fucking with the judiciary, and they're now signalling they'll be proactively ruling on things like this.

The issue is more: will it matter at all?

Genuinely serious. Jackson is Trump's favorite President for a reason: he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him, neither Congress nor the SCOTUS can actually do anything about a President acting in contravention of a court order. If the SCOTUS says "this bill is unconstitutional​", will it stop anyone from actually acting like it's in force?

he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him

Well good news, he's not actually that popular. I'm baffled that he's still got an aggregate 47% approval rating, but even faux news' poll has him down to 44% and he was only above 50% in poling for less than a 2 weeks after he came into office.

And that's all before the most recent news about the medicare/medicaid slashing. And ahead of the coming wave of layoffs due to the economy slowing down. The policies he's trying to enact are going to (slowly) erode what support he still has as his base realizes just how fucked they are.

Haha. Can they? Who knows. Will they? Probably not.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 8 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t know why people think rules still apply. They might say something but they came out 9-0 against him and he still claims a unanimous victory and the courts, media and American public all just shrug.

Can SCOTUS strike down a bill that says their rulings don't have to be followed?

This is what passes as an interesting Paradox to MAGA Nazis.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

The same court has already given absolute power to the president, so the minutia doesn't really matter.

"Gotcha, didn't see that in comei... Oh, you did? "

"Fake news!"

[–] bomberesque1@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Would a one dollar bond work to circumvent this?
