Trump went off on the U.S. Supreme Court after it prevented him from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite the deportations of Venezuelans being detained in Texas.
The idea is thst they’re supposed to be non partisan voices of the law. And we’re seeing both sides of all of that. For a long time they’ve been partisan, but lifetime appointments mean that they can tell Trump to fuck off in a way congress can’t. It’s significant to note thst the two justices that keep voting with Trump weren’t appointed by him. He appointed kavenaugh, gorsuch, and Barrett. And none of them seem to like him. Meanwhile Thomas has been on the court for decades but his wife is a major figure in maga.
Yeah, thats something that I think needs to change. To many times people sit on that bench until they are almost dead, and I dont like people like that making the laws. Just like I think there should be term limits on Congress
I didn’t know they were appointed for life. That’s terrible. Thanks for bringing more nuance to my otherwise basic understanding
