Hurrah!

[ToraToraTora]

shocker!

[youngmafbog]

Oh dear, some will sulk for days now.

[Mozz71]

Kind of outweighed by all he did wrong, but that's a start I guess.

[ichkeria]

…Supreme Court with its three Trump appointees ,-)

Just saying …

[naomi24]

I've no idea of the processes for getting rid and appointing others, but is Biden happy with them, Ich?

[THECORBYLOON]

There are Trump-appointed judges but not all decisions have gone in his favour, have they?

[ichkeria]

I don’t think I he has much choice.
Anyway. I’d rather Trump’s legislation clung on rather than there being any prospect of his return

[ZebuSanctuary]

Since restrictions surrounding Covid have now been lifted, let us hope the Biden adminisration is successful in lifting Title 42 as imposed by the ruling of the supreme court.

There is much needed reform to the current situation extant on the Mexican border.

A system that treats humanely each application for asylum is well overdue.

Biden ought to be applauded for recognising the plight that some Mexicans are genuinely fleeing from persecution. Fight the good fight Me President!

[naomi24]

Oh well ... he was wrong again. Who'd a thunk? ;o)

[youngmafbog]

Orange man bad Naomi.

[naomi24]

Haaa! Indeed. :o)

[perseverer]

Whether the decision of the supreme court was right or wrong, the way Trump had loaded the court with his nominations meant they were always likely to support his viewpoint.

[youngmafbog]

Except they dont always do they?

[Peter Pedant]

I've no idea of the processes for getting rid and appointing others, but is Biden happy with them, Ich?

oh I do: they are appointed by the President and then are confirmed by the senate

[Specifically, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2, provides that the President of the United States nominates a justice and that the United States Senate provides..]

so whomever controls the senate ( Trump until recently) had veto effect.
Obama cd get few of his appointees thro, including a delay because it wd be unfair to appoint justices in his last year of power

Trump appointed three ( giving the reps a vast majority) in his last year

and Biden didnt approve but cd do nothing about it.

Impeach a judge?
Has a Justice ever been impeached? The only Justice to be impeached was Associate Justice Samuel Chase in 1805. The House of Representatives passed Articles of Impeachment against him; however, he was acquitted by the Senate.

this is not too technical is it? - Do you have to be a lawyer? no one in 1922 ( the last) wasnt

They can resign - Ruth Bader Ginsburg was implored to resign so that a Dem cd be appointed and she wdnt, She died presumably beyond her expectation, during Trumps tenure and a rep appointed in her stead. Liked being a justice too much I suppose.

There was one who resigned in 1946 so he cd prosecute the War Crimes Trials - ( show trials where the allies hanged all the Germans who lost) and made a complete mess of the cross exam of Goering ( bombing of civilian populations)
Goering mounted a 'tu quoque' defence and pleaded, " O god look at Dresden or Hamburg, the allies did this as well"

quite interesting if you bother to read about it

[naomi24]

I googled that too, PP.

[Peter Pedant]

I am aware, of course, that no Ruler can expect complete loyalty from his subjects until he has been tested in office. Creon l 146 Antigone

no: more - - it is not possible to know what a man will do until he is shown knowledgeable in the ways and laws

or- you cant tell what a supreme justice will do until he starts supreme court judging. - and setting aside abortion, they havent so far been too bad

( incredz praise for a supreme ct yeah?)

[Peter Pedant]

Nice to be shown correct
and you googled tu quoque
naomi googles Latin - I really dont think so ! phew
PP wipes brow

and you googled:
ἀμήχανον δὲ παντὸς ἀνδρὸς ἐκμαθεῖν
ψυχήν τε καὶ φρόνημα καὶ γνώμην, πρὶν ἂν
ἀρχαῖς τε καὶ νόμοισιν ἐντριβὴς φανῇ.

yeah OK if muh-darm says so

[fripfrip]

But trump did get it right,you just cannot keep letting people into your country unaccounted for,surely every country has the right to protect it's borders.

[naomi24]

PP, what twaddle. You need to do more than wipe your brow. You need a rest.
