The Supreme Court is sabotaging the Trump indictments by delaying a decision. The goal is to delay trial so he can’t be convicted so close to the election. This court is just an extension of the party.
Oh bull. I've been collecting examples of the Court NOT acting conservatively, let alone acting partisan. I'm no fan of this Court, and I loathe Thomas, but they make some surprising calls. If they were an organ of the GOP, none of these cases would have passed, OR, they would have heard them to shoot down the lower court rulings.

There was an earlier ruling where they shot Trump down, but I can't find it for all the noise over recent events.
I'm kinda OK with them putting off the call on the immunity case, it's a weighty one, but I'm scared as hell they'll take too long to ponder the arguments. Calling it now: They reject Trump's claim. Just like they allowed him on the ballot, and the unanimity was telling, I think they understand the chaos that would ensue.
Whoa, bud- careful with those counter-hivemind opinions. You'll get slapped for wrongthink around here.
People should stop with this hivemind stuff. It's okay to feel something and be corrected. It's fine to learn.
wow yeah I totally didn't get slapped for wrongthink by the hivemind, you guys sure showed me with this "correction"
what am I supposed to have learned from this?
Yeah imagine thinking the 9th and 14th amendments matter... Silly liberals
is that an echo i hear? echo...echo...echo...
I don't suppose you could explain how the 14th amendment works in the relevant case to give the contrary opinion to the unanimous court? I'm with the guy above, they suck and are awful, but not wrong on this one in particular. That you think the 9th amendment is somehow relevant is... telling.
edit: crickets. Crickets and downvotes. Nope, no hivemind punishing wrongthink here. Nosiree.
I read your comment and it reminded me of something, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. It took me a few minutes, then it dawned on me: it was my drunk Trumper uncle at Thanksgiving dinner. He was telling us how the "Mexicans and Blacks" are sabotaging "White Christianity™" by crossing the border and interbreeding with white women and that our telling him to shut up and go home was the real intolerance
Tl;dr: dumb people often blame everyone else for any consequences of their failure to recognize they're dumb.
It's called the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and yes it's remarkable how often humans fall into this trap, isn't it? In my experience, the appropriate response is to educate people when they are mistaken. Perhaps you could take the time to correct my mistake instead of ridiculing me?
The hive-mind children in here are worse than reddit ever was, and was there for 12-years. Notice not a soul stated anything counter to what I posted?
That was the very first thing I noticed. I had two accounts over there for about 12 years too.
