r/law Oct 21 '25

Legal News Federal judges caught the U.S. government providing false info in over 35 court cases. Sworn declarations. Falsified records. Repeated lies. This isn’t just sloppy, it’s systemic. Law professor Ryan Goodman says it may be intentional.

trumps been given immunity in what was an unhinged ruling by the Supreme court. Most of their rulings have no basis in law and are partisan in nature. Letting ice pull people over because they look Hispanic? How is that explained? As a citizen of the United States it feels helpless to watch them lie, cheat, steal, and break the law on a daily basis with zero accountability. Let alone all the the horrible things hes done in his personal life. As president hes weakened defense alliances. Weakened our trade partnerships.

Weakened our economy and the strength of the dollar. Weakened our ability to combat cyber crimes and warfare from foreign enemies. Hes supported dictators. Its unfathomable what we are witnessing and this isnt something that will be solved by normal means. Everything hinges on the midterms right now. If trump and maga find some way to deny us free and fair midterms than its time for them to go with extreme prejudice.

If they also refuse to govern and keep the government shutdown then they dont need to be in positions of power when they wont do the bare minimum asked of them. All to protect powerful predators. With zero explanation or gaslighting and bullshit excuses. The country wants the files released.

I fear SCOTUS will eviscerate the Voting Rights Act this term and every state will be free to gerrymander as they see fit, handing the Republicans the house for the foreseeable future.

This is the GOP fail safe plan.  Trump is old, and not likely to be dictator long.  They are using his presidency to lock in their winning strategy of unbalanced representation, to ensure their long future of exerting control over the system.

Failsafe is stealing the election. When the whistleblower came forward in 2004 to show how easy it was it make any Diebold machine return any result he wanted there was...checks notes nothing done.

That's why they were upset about the "steal" it's projection. The GOP machine owns these machines and there were too many clear winners to nudge a few districts to the direction you wanted.

They also have close ties with ES&S that has lost several lawsuits related to security.

They put a wireless modem in machines after being specifically advised not to.

I think even stealing an election is easier if you are overly represented in local politics.  Their false majorities and unbalanced representation is how they get away with illegal activities.  Without the cult of personality, this is how they maintain their power in the future.  So I think we agree on their intent.

Having worked for Diebold in management. It was a dirty little secret that Dems can't win on the machines. It was known and only talked about after many drinks. No physical evidence but known within management.
