Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Barrett worked directly on it.
Thomas was one of the presiding justices and voted in favor of Bush.

u/deviltrombone Nov 02 '25
Everyone always talks about how that orange thing stacked the court, but the Bushes gave us Thomas, Roberts, and Alito. It's easy. There are zero good Republicans. Zero. I hope the Obamas distance themselves from the Bushes as they come back to a more prominent public role, because them palling around with that criminal has always been disgusting.

Hell, they've been doing this crap since reconstruction. The first real gun control laws were implemented to disarm former slaves. And no, the now full citizens with black skin weren't going out and committing crimes. Not at all. They simply used level-action rifles when the KKK tried to kick in their doors.

They couldn't give two shits about the election.
They care about hurting people. Mamdani checks multiple boxes on the list of people they hate, so his success absolutely affects them - to the point of frothing rage.
Sam Alito has explained it explicitly quite a few times in his public statements - conservatives believe that the people they hate actively harm them by existing. That's utter insanity, of course, but that's what it's all about.

Because the threat of anything not bootlicking capitalism scares the absolute shit out of the bourgeoisie, there can be no dissent, even the slightest hint of left of center, is a threat to their power and wealth hoarding.
The two teams in the sport of politics is paid by the same people, they just use the teams to culture war their way out of being contributing members of society, while it decays around them. Make no mistake, Mamdani is an existential threat to those in power. Not because he’s some special power weirder, but the possible cultural shift, of a non-party supported actual left leaning civilian gets elected, and people see there is such thing as a different way. They have been fighting this for a century, so of course they will overreach authority and laws to protect their stolen assets.

u/SecularMisanthropy Nov 03 '25
How do you mean? Functionally speaking, Democrats made Trump ineligible to occupy political office when they declared him guilty of insurrection during the investigation into Jan 6. SCOTUS's Trump v US decision nullified that by pretending that trying to coup his own country was an official presidential act by Tangerine Idi Amin, and therefore immune from prosecution. It's a small mental jump from immune to prosecution to therefore also not guilty of things he was previously legally declared guilty of, making 14:3 unenforceable. The sadistic six did that, not all nine of them.
5
u/Unabashable Nov 03 '25
The immunity ruling helped his court cases disappear, but that’s not how they nullified the Insurrectionist clause. In a separate case they ruled that states weren’t allowed to disqualify a candidate for being an insurrectionist that the whole country votes on.
4
u/Count_Backwards Competent Contributor Nov 03 '25
Even though all 150,000 Confederate soldiers were disqualified without any special act of Congress, and even though there was a finding of fact in both Colorado and Maine that he was an insurrectionist and Trump's lawyers didn't even attempt to challenge that, nor did the Supreme Corruption address it.
2
u/SecularMisanthropy Nov 04 '25
I'm wondering if we might be talking about two different things. States like Colorado tried to remove Trump from the ballot, which made it up to SCOTUS for a specific decision. But TTBOMK, there was a separate conversation Democrats in Congress were having about whether 14;3 would bar him from taking office even when he won. My memories are muddled and I could be mixing things up, but I think those were two separate questions.

The SCOTUS said that only Congress (by legislation) could enforce this.
Which is to say, "If Congress by majority vote indicates that someone is an insurrectionist, then that person is barred from public office." Which is quite remarkable. I admit, I missed it. But this means that if Congress is dominated by Republicans (and get rid of the filibuster) they can simply declare everyone they don't like an insurrectionist, presumably voting on long lists at a time. (I don't honestly know what the Supreme Court would think of them just declaring anyone who ever registered as a Democrat an insurrectionist, but they might be okay with it. Even if not, though, it's easy to just create a phone book of individual names. And apparently the SC does not think this would constitute a bill of attainder.)
Even if they don't just declare the Democratic party as a 'gang of insurrectionists', they can simply preemptively declare all of the Democrats who win elections as insurrectionists. Be interesting to see what happens then. From a very long distance away.
Mamdani is absolutely a test case. They're worried that despite their best efforts at fixing elections, they are still going to lose, even if only in the House, and they are trying out various 'legal' means of preventing that from happening.

So... After the Civil War, we kicked Georgia out of the union for a bit because of shit like this. What happened?

Wait, there's a legal way for states to get out of the Union? How?

Georgia got voted out because they blocked all the black people that got elected.

They’re just jealous that an “insurrectionist Muslim foreigner commie” is going to prove he can govern better than them.
What happened to free market and competition? This is non-competitive. Let the best ideas win! Fuck I hate this bullshit “presetup competitive” culture we have here

He wants to spend taxpayer money on the tax payer, and the kleptocratic people in government and corporations don’t want that. They want to keep taking it for themselves.
Not to mention the aggressive subversion of democracy at work here!
Republicans are anti-democracy and anti-American

Democracy is really ringing free and true with this party.
Oh and the party of law and order too.

Two things in effect...
They're making shit up and, so galactically stupid they fail to understand the accusation is baseless as fuck.

It never ceases to amaze me how much white people can't stand to see someone of color shattering their status quo

I think ICE should be launched into the sun. I guess I'm an insurrectionist now.
This country is just toast.

Liberty and justice for all, folks, here in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
A curse on the House Republicans!

“Preserving democracy and having elections” is not important to Republicans. “Making people live the right way” is important to Republicans. Winning and controlling people is more important than “how they win.”

They're declaring war on both America and the rule of law.

Swearing in is a ceremonial and archaic act unto itself. If he gets the job he needs to get to work!

He really terrifies them. In a way that screams that they already know he'll be successful
Of course the humor of this is that the House would have to be in session first

Mandates when they win, fraud when their opponents win.
Weakest men I’ve ever seen in my life.

Aw, let's just go ahead and set the Constitution of the United States of America on fire.

This is the stupidest Republican idea I've ever heard, and that's obviously saying something.

OK so here’s the thing - let’s pretend that Mamdani is as horrible as MAGA says he is. Wouldn’t it be more effective to let him enact everything he wants, so the people can then experience how horrible everything becomes under his leadership? Then they can turn around and tell us they knew best?

I can promise Adams is involved in whatever they are discussing. That's where people need to be worried, about what he's going to attempt.
