Alito votes to block trump sentencing after totally unrelated private phone call the day before.

This is Robert’s Court and Robert’s legacy.

He understands the perception that this court is partisan to Trump……To once again jump in to save him would seal the deal

Right. That's why Roberts was eager join the nutso left and call 0bamacare a 'tax', even though that administration insisted it wasn't a tax. Roberts wants to continue to be invited to those Georgetown cocktail parties.

Opinion by Brett Tolman
Lawfare doesn’t begin to describe the legal circus we’re witnessing this week as a state judge and prosecutor thumb their noses at our U.S. Supreme Court. Despite the Justices’ easy-to-understand immunity ruling months ago, Judge Juan Merchan’s petulant ego threatens to undermine our entire constitution by refusing to concede that People v. Trump is legally and procedurally flawed and should be dismissed.
As a nation committed to justice and the rule of law, this criminal case poses a grave threat to judicial impartiality and the public's faith in our criminal justice system. A judiciary that disproportionately defers prosecutorial authority undermines its constitutional role as a check on government power.

From its inception, this case has been marred by political overtones. The charges against Trump—34 counts of falsifying business records—may hold technical validity, but there’s no hiding that the broader context serves ulterior motives. Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, pursued this case not in the "interest of justice," as required by the U.S. Supreme Court, but in a politically charged atmosphere that undermines public trust.

Love the $10 Indian avatar.

Roberts never called Obamacare a tax
He was talking about the fines for not having insurance

What Roberts did say was that ACA was a legal act passed by Congress

The court ruled that 0bamacare was tax, and Roberts voted with the majority.

No they didn’t

ACA is a National healthcare system

 

[rightwinger]

What difference does it make?

You are ducking the question

Do you think it was appropriate to talk with a potential claimant before the court?

 

[Mashmont]

No they didn’t

You are incorrect. The whole crux of the ruling was that the individual mandate was a tax that could be levied. Roberts wrote the opinion.
In fact the court was so eager to appease the left, they made an argument that 0bama didn't make in calling it a tax.

Now you are changing your tune
Only the individual mandate was ruled a tax, not the rest of ACA
The individual mandate is no longer enforced

Sure I'm fine with it. Why should TRUMP have to follow different ethics than democrats?

I have given up on any expectation for Trump to have ethics long ago

I held the Supreme Court to higher standards

US supreme court rejects Trump bid to call off sentencing in hush-money case

President-elect had sought to overturn New York appeals court ruling but sentencing will go ahead on Friday

www.theguardian.com

Even the handmaid judge thought this was a step too far. Alito should have recused himself from the process.
But he has no honour. Of course Thomas sided with trump as did the drunken rapist.
This is how the cancer spreads through all of society.
The US experiment in democracy is over.

SCOTUS IS NOW BOUGHT AND PAID FOR.

It's irrelevant that it's no longer enforced. The point I made was Roberts sides with the leftwingers because he wants to be liked.

It has more to do with his legacy

He realizes the extreme right is batshit crazy and tries to control it

There is no such thing as 'extreme right'. There is rational and there is extreme left. Roberts wants to appeal to the nutsos.

Thomas and Alito are rational?

Yes, Do you think the DEI appointee Brown is rational? She couldn't even define 'woman'.

She understands that sexuality is more than biology

No, it isn't. And the fact that she couldn't define 'woman' shows she's an irrational partisa leftwing hack, completely unqualified for the court

Yes it is

Your sexuality is defined by more than your body parts
Always been that way
