I find it humorous, in a rather sad way, that there is still this pervasive idea floating around that the Supreme Court is some beacon of impartiality and justice. The reality is far from that; the Court is deeply entrenched in politics and ideology, just like any other branch of government. To even make it onto the Supreme Court, you need political connections and an ideology that aligns with the president who nominated you. The notion that justices are chosen solely for their judicial acumen is a farce; it all comes down to party ideology and political maneuvering.
The entire process of selecting Supreme Court justices reeks of politics and power plays.… Continue reading
The recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the difficulty of charging Capitol riot defendants with obstruction and the charge that Trump faces is, quite frankly, shocking. The 6-3 decision to narrow the definition of obstruction to include only those who tried to tamper with or destroy documents undermines the severity of the events that unfolded on January 6th, 2021. How can violently breaching the Capitol not be considered obstruction to an official proceeding?
Chief Justice John Roberts, along with a mix of liberal and conservative justices, supported this narrow interpretation of the law, arguing that a broader reading could criminalize everyday conduct.… Continue reading
Steve Bannon must report to prison by Monday after the Supreme Court rejected his last-minute appeal. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions watching this political drama unfold, and I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that even someone as well-connected as Bannon is not above the law. The fact that he will have to face the consequences of his actions is a small victory in a world where it often feels like the elite can evade justice.
The Supreme Court’s decision sends a clear message that no one, not even those with power and privilege, is immune to the consequences of breaking the law.… Continue reading
US prosecutors recommend the Justice Department criminally charges Boeing. This news has sent shockwaves through the aviation industry and beyond. The recommendation to hold a corporate giant accountable for its actions is a monumental step towards ensuring greater transparency and responsibility in the business world. It sends a clear message that safety should always take precedence over profit, especially in industries where people’s lives are at stake. The tragedies associated with Boeing’s failures have been nothing short of devastating, and it is essential that justice prevails in this situation.
The decision to potentially criminally charge Boeing has sparked discussions about the true meaning of corporate accountability.… Continue reading
Having just heard the news about Britain’s richest family being sentenced to jail for exploiting staff in their Swiss mansion, I am filled with a mix of emotions. On one hand, I am glad to see justice being served to individuals who thought they were above the law. On the other hand, I am appalled at the audacity and cruelty displayed by these individuals. It is mind-boggling to think that with a fortune of 37 billion dollars, they still resorted to treating their employees like indentured servants, or dare I say, slaves.
The fact that Prakash Hinduja and his family members were each sentenced to prison terms is a small victory in the fight against exploitation and abuse of power.… Continue reading
What the hell is going on with the Supreme Court’s Trump ruling? The situation seems more convoluted and corrupt than ever before. It appears that the court is intentionally dragging its feet and delaying the decision to grant Trump immunity, all while trying to ensure that the ruling does not apply to Biden. The justices seem to be playing a dangerous game of political manipulation, trying to keep Trump in power and avoid any repercussions for his actions.
The whole scenario reeks of corruption and abuse of power. The Supreme Court, which is supposed to be the ultimate arbiter of justice, has turned into a tool for those in positions of extreme power to manipulate the legal system to their advantage.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court’s prolonged delay in the Trump immunity case has sparked outrage and suspicion among many Americans, including myself. Something’s definitely rotten about the justices dragging their feet on such a critical decision. The fact that it took 110 days for the court to even agree to hear the case is troubling. What’s even more concerning is the pattern of the court’s behavior in cases that benefit Republican interests, where quick decisions seem to be the norm.
It’s evident that there’s a clear bias in favor of helping Trump, whether it’s in the form of delay tactics, favoring certain rulings, or simply avoiding making tough decisions.… Continue reading
As I sit back and reflect on the current state of affairs in the United States, one thing that continues to weigh heavily on my mind is the composition of the Supreme Court. The recent comments made by President Joe Biden about the potential for additional Supreme Court appointments in a second Trump term struck a chord with me. And I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment that this is indeed one of the scariest aspects to consider.
The idea of a Supreme Court packed with judges who are more concerned with pushing a political agenda rather than upholding the principles of justice and equality is deeply troubling.… Continue reading
As I sit here processing the horrific news of the abducted Louisiana child found dead and her sister injured after a suspect in their mother’s killing was arrested, my heart aches for the innocent lives lost and forever changed by this senseless act of violence. The pain and trauma that these young girls endured is unfathomable, and my thoughts are consumed by the unimaginable suffering they must have endured at the hands of these monsters.
The details of this case are beyond comprehension. The fact that these perpetrators may have been involved in human trafficking, using small animal cages to potentially hold these young girls captive, is a chilling reminder of the darkness that exists in our world.… Continue reading
Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, has been caught on a secret recording revealing her true colors as a full-blown MAGA supporter. Her rants about the LGBTQ+ Pride flag and “feminazis” showcase a disturbing lack of impartiality and professionalism, especially given her husband’s position on the highest court in the land. It is disheartening to see someone so closely connected to a Supreme Court Justice displaying such blatant biases and prejudices.
The statements made by Martha-Ann Alito in the secret recording are not only concerning but also highlight the dangerous path that some individuals in positions of power are willing to take.… Continue reading
