Supreme Court flips the supremacy clause on its ear in Colorado ruling. Ruling that certain powers belong to the federal government by nature, enumerated or not.

So much for the SC being ‘above politics’. Did they miss the but where both houses of Congress found that Trump had engaged in insurrection? Spineless cunts.

Tenth Amendment similarly, IMO.

Not surprised by this decision.

I'm surprised they agreed to hear the upcoming immunity case at all. It would have been easy for them to non-cert, side with the appellate court, and affirm that immunity is always qualified and never absolute. No one is above the law. But they didn't do that and instead we will get to see where the justices lean on the matter of Kingship.

Trump's own lawyers argued that POTUS could be prosecuted if impeached and convicted by the senate. Therefore POTUS immunity can't be absolute because dumbass's law team just demonstrated a scenario where POTUS's immunity conditional.

And if it's decided that POTUS always has immunity unconditionally, then it follows that Biden enjoys that same immunity and could have his henchmen go after Trump physically.

Denying cert would certainly be the most expeditious path available, but that would allow at least one of the criminal trials to conclude before the general election, and we just can't have that.

Biden could still do it WITH impeachment, he just needs to make sure his henchmen send a message to Congress of what will happen to them if they pass a vote to impeach. But he won't do either.

And, the chump and company are depending on that.

Russia adds chess legend Garry Kasparov to ‘terrorists and extremists’ list

Rosfinmonitoring added Soviet-born Kasparov to its database of "terrorists and extremists" without giving a reason.

Rights groups say the label is another tool the Kremlin uses to silence its critics, along with the "foreign agent" term it applies to people it sees as enemies of the state.

Kasparov is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest chess players and has lived in the United States for over a decade, where he has focused on political activism.

You gotta admit tho, some of his chess moves were really brutal, reckless and revolutionary.
