Like the country itself, the justices are divided between democracy and authoritarianism

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘The American people have grown used to reading about Supreme Court cases decided by a 6-3 vote. In almost all of those rulings, the court’s six conservatives are arrayed on one side, with its three liberals on the other. But Friday’s decision striking down many of Donald Trump’s tariffs scrambled the deck, showing that at least some of the court’s conservatives are not yet willing to set fire to the Constitution.

That the president’s immediate reaction to the ruling was to call it a “disgrace” and denounce the justices who had the temerity not to fall in line behind him indicates that this country is caught between two political orders.

The first, represented by the court’s decision, is the remnant of a constitutional democracy in which rules still matter. On this side are the three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — along with conservatives Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch and Chief Justice John Roberts, who authored the ruling. The second is an emerging authoritarian order in which the will of a single person is all that matters, an order the three dissenters in the case — Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas — seem ready to embrace.

Don’t be taken in by any triumph of the first political order. The court’s tariff ruling, while a welcome break from its pattern of pro-Trump decisions, is but one skirmish in an existential struggle.’

Supreme Court's tariffs ruling reveals two political orders

If the conservative justices are divided between democracy and authoritarianism, it’s not an even divide, with authoritarianism enjoying the greater advantage.

The tariff ruling is more of an aberration, with three conservatives taking a break from authoritarianism.

Make no mistake, this conservative Court will continue to rule in favor of authoritarianism, continue to support the Imperial Presidency, an all-powerful Chief Executive above the law and beyond the Constitution – for Trump and future Republican presidents.

No. It shows that at least three of the Justices are unable or unwilling to buy into what truly needs to be done to save this country from itself.
Democracy, and Republicanism has FAILED!!! We need to accept that and move on to an Authoritarian government which MAYstill be able to save this country OR accept that this nation is as dead as every other country on Earth and go full nuclear option to wipe out as much of the human population as possible.

 

[MarcATL]

This far rightwing SCOTUS wipes their ass with the constitution.

We need to expand the Court.....NOW!!!!

The US has always been a Constitutional Republic if you can't get that right why the **** would anyone take anything you post seriously.

As far as the so called Conservative Court, it's the same one that ruled Obama care a tax.

Imperial Presidency, Seriously ? You are an idiot.

Yet he follows the rulings of the courts, no matter how stupid and overreaching they are.

Still batting over .900 with USSC decisions.

The correct judges focus on American interests and not foreign expenses

If they sided with Trump on this one the last shred of illusion that SCOTUS isn't completely compromised would have scattered in the wind

 

[d0gbreath]

It should be the same split when they uphold birthright citizenship.

Hopefully they think and realize a birth is not self sufficient so your provider who birthed you is an illegal and must get that corrected for citizenship to convey to the newborn. We are not trying to populate ourselves with the spawns of criminals nor is it virtuous to try and force USA to do so

Forcing the US to do something that has been done since 1868?

Flatly false.

This is a Constitutional republic. It’s not now and has never been a democracy.

And a choice between a democracy and authoritarianism is a false dichotomy, anyway.

Many ignorant people (like our idiot OP) have accepted the false label of democracy. They are irredeemably ignorant.

If we were a democracy Trump would be able to do as he pleases. Because in a democracy majority rules and a majority voted for Trump and his policies. Dumbass, why don't you just shut up?
