Are you sure this Court's decisions warrant more than hyperbolic nonsense?

Nope. The profession remains ahead of you. We realize that reasoning doesn’t mater when handing down decisions. The timing of when a spot opens is all that does.

No, it's on-brand for Alito.  He long ago crossed the rubicon to just being plain evil, and entirely results-oriented instead of consistently applying neutral law and logic.  He's the equivalent of an umpire who someone always finds a way to call balls and strikes in his team's favor, and against the other team, no matter where the pitch is actually located.  It's not about the pitch.  It's about which team it favors, that's it.  We're full-on retrograde.  It's only going to get worse.  Much worse.

Where are we with today's gem that most overlooked?  All cool to chip away at Fifth Amendment protections, remove one of the few remedies a criminal defendant might have (at both the Federal and State level), and set some slippery slopes on future Miranda challenges with fewer mechanisms to keep Law Enforcement in check.

Quote

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that police officers may not be sued under a federal civil rights law for failing to administer the familiar warning required by the court’s 1966 decision in Miranda v. Arizona. The vote was 6 to 3, with the justices dividing along ideological lines.

In a second case, the court ruled that a death row inmate in Georgia could invoke the same civil rights law in seeking to be executed by firing squad rather than lethal injection. The vote was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh joining the court’s three liberal members to form a majority.

The case on Miranda warnings illustrated the contested status of the decision. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. said the ruling had announced something less than a constitutional right.

Quote

By leaving Miranda on the books (for now), Vega still requires courts to suppress un-Mirandized statements during trial. As Kagan noted, though, sometimes “such a statement will not be suppressed. And sometimes, as a result, a defendant will be wrongly convicted and spend years in prison.” Eventually, the defendant may get his conviction reversed. But thanks to Thursday’s decision, he will have no remedy “for all the harm he has suffered.”

Astros were playing the Yankees and Rockets had a great draft. I’m absolutely not going to waste twenty minutes tonight typing up an explanation you’re going to disregard without reading. 

Yes, it's exactly that, and is absolutely shocking to see a United States Supreme Court Justice say those words in a published opinion.

All of whom have been confirmed by the Senate.  I just love to see "news" stories where they talk about SC Justices that were "appointed" by WJC/GWB/BHO/DJT.

I usually have to inform loony leftists on the realities of politics, but you really should know better than to confuse truth with power. I’m not sure why you failed to comprehend my first post. You feeling alright?

What in the fuck does Miranda have to do with someone deciding they would rather get shot than a lethal injection?

Well, it's not really HIS opinion.  More like the opinion of Tucker/Bongo/etc.

In a fun bit of irony, one of those presidents was actually appointed by the Supreme Court.

Imagine how Jan 6 goes down if Oath Keepers, instead of creating firearms caches just outside of DC, had no fear of bringing firearms to the insurrection.

"In a court document filed Monday seeking the continued detention of Kenneth Harrelson, one of a dozen members of the Oath Keepers charged in a sweeping conspiracy case against the group, prosecutors cited newly discovered communications allegedly showing members discussing storing their weapons at a Comfort Inn in Arlington, Virginia, knowing that possessing such arms within Washington, D.C., would be illegal."

People hate on Thomas, but I think Alito is the worst justice.  Alito is just a worse, wannabe version of that fat fuck who died a few years ago.  Thomas is insane and pretty stupid but ideologically he's  one of the most unique and interesting of the justices.  For instance, this analogy test Thomas pulled out of his ass here.  The problem produced by the second amendment is that the US today has very little in common with the country that produced the Constitution.  This leads to things like Americans shooting each other and themselves at unheard of rates in the developed world.  How does Thomas handle this issue, by making it the crux of his bullshit madeup test!

Alito is just an average Fox News Facebook commenter... with the power of a Supreme Court Justice.

ALITO, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which THOMAS, GORSUCH, KAVANAUGH, and BARRETT, JJ., joined. THOMAS, J., and KAVANAUGH, J., filed concurring opinions. ROBERTS, C. J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., filed a dissenting opinion.

I was assured by many here that they would never go after those things though.

I don’t think Brisket is mad enough. Some of you guys care way too little about marginalized people because it doesn’t concern you. Ginni is going to try to create a really fucked up society that Margaret Atwood couldn’t conjure up. 

Things are gonna get HEATED.  So the only answer I can see is Dems have to kill the filibuster and expand the court.  I almost got through that without laughing/crying.

So it appears that it's basically the original draft opinion plus a little new stuff responding to the dissent. And includes a funny indirect dunk on Kavanaugh:

 

Alito clearly despises everyone he works with. Just the most ratfaced piece of shit imaginable.

What the right isn’t really accounting for is the violent swing far left.  It’s coming.  Well, maybe they are accounting for it.  They’re just in the ‘get while the gettings good’ phase.

This is the equivalent of liberals winning on Twitter and not at the voting booth. When are we going to stop thinking being clever is the solution.

They're hoping for violence. It would help them justify a brutal crackdown when they retake the White House.
