keuchfd,18q6sz1,‘Did you just hear John Roberts scream?’: US supreme court to have outsized influence in 2024 election,"I lived in rural South Carolina.

Let me take a guess: You're white. And either Christian or not outspokenly non-Christian.

Yes, a lot of these people *can be* nice people when you fit into their social in group. They can be GREAT people, give you the shirt off their back kind of people, stop over with a plate of dinner when you're alone type of people, drop everything they're doing and drive to you immediately if your car breaks down or cattle get out or tractor gets stuck kind of people. They can throw a hell of a bonfire party, BBQ, or night of drinking in their garage (that for some reason has a couch and beer fridge). They have their favorite shows on Netflix. They go to work, and aren't afraid to work hard. They drive Honda and Kia sedans. Their wives have hobbies and jobs. They care about their kids going to school. 


Counter to many people's views of them they don't just gather for Nazi rallies and cross burnings. They don't have pictures of Trump above their mantles and the majority don't even own a Confederate flag let alone fly one from their home or lifted in truck. They can talk about non-political things. They don't become violent when they meet a Democrat. They don't go out at night hunting liberals and atheists. 


They absolutely can be super nice people. Until you ask where the mechanic's shop is and they say ""Oh, just a couple blocks south of n***** Town"" (where much of the local Black population lives). Or they make a temporary fix on a fence and call it n***** rigged. Or until you notice everybody at those fun parties is always without exception white and Christian. Or you hear something like ""I'm not against the gays but this is a Christian nation and a Christian shouldn't be forced to sign a marriage license for the gays.""


Or until they learn (at over 40 years old!) that Jews don't believe in Jesus and all of a sudden you don't get invited to parties anymore. (true story) 


Or until you realize that without even noticing it you've stopped doing things like putting out Democratic candidates signs in your yard (had you just forgotten or had there been a sort of... background trepidation about it?) or not putting a certain sticker on your car because it might get vandalized. Until you're wondering if you should take down your mezuzah. Until you realize you haven't actually become friends with a single of POC because ""your kinds don't mix"" and at this point neither group questions that, it's just an unspoken, unaknowledged part of life. Until somebody complains that they got ""jewed"" by the mechanic. Until you realize there's a disgusting reason there's only white people in the bar. Until somebody stops to excitedly show you the tree where the last lynching in the county took place. When your aunt says ""I'm not racist but be honest, if you were walking down a dark ally at night and a man were walking towards you would you rather they were Black or White?"" 


They're not cartoon characters like it's easy to think of them as. They're people, and if you're the right kind of person they're even really ""nice people.""


But really they aren't. They're deeply prejudiced, even hateful people - but that's not obvious all the time.... when you're white. 

If you doubt it just ask a few innocent questions. They might not go around screeching bigotry all the time but they're more than happy to tell you why they're bigoted (""justifiably"" of course) or anti-science or Christian Nationalist or fascist without a hint of self awareness that what they're saying is absolutely disgusting and not simply the facts. They don't go around shouting their filthy views at the heavens because they know everybody thinks the same so why would they bother? Nobody in any city stands on the corner with a bullhorn shouting that rain is wet because everybody knows so why bother?


I suppose it ultimately depends on what color you are, what your definition of ""nice"" is, and how well you really get to know them.",108,2023-12-25 08:02:22

On the other hand, Colorado's 14th Amendment Disqualification case is going to be a very tough needle for them to thread. The thing is, the Supreme Court is generally cowardly, and I doubt they want to be responsible for keeping Trump off the ballot \*or\* ensuring that he stays on. They'll be looking for some way to shirk the difficulty of making a definitive, final ruling. Their favorite get-out-of-jail-free card is defer any hard political questions to Congress (which they know is ensured to be gridlocked and Republican-biased due to the unequal representation of the Senate). So if I had to bet, I would predict that they'll get out of the 14th Amendment case by ruling that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is *not self-executing* \- which is to say, Congress needs to pass a law to say who can sue who at what time, in what courts, using what due process etc. in order for the 14th Amendment to apply, and since they've never done that, the 14th Amendment is effectively unenforceable right now (but it could be enforceable if Congress makes implementing legislation, so it's not their fault Trump gets back on the ballot!)",8,2023-12-25 06:26:12

The only difference is that punting it means there is no superior national precedence. Roe v wade being overturned for example was a major event because typically the Supreme Court doesn’t just say the precedent it created was bad and that it shouldn’t be in place. Sometimes we overturn bad precedence which is what the ruling on brown vs the board of education did to plessy v Ferguson.

SCOTUS punting it just means it chooses not to make a national ruling and allows the current ruling to remain. Another case can make its way to the Supreme Court for the same exact ruling then.

But everything else? They can't reasonably punt. Even if they do, that in and of itself is a decision, as they would let a lower court ruling stand. It doesn't set precedent, but the effects are no less real for the current cases. Letting Trump be on the ballot but leaving his actual eligibility up in the air in the hopes that he loses is the only way to actually, truly avoid any of the questions.

Besides, you need 6 to reject a case to fully punt it. If even just 4 vote to grant cert, it comes before the Court. Roberts himself likely feels the need to weigh in. Even if he did decide he didn't want to hear it (doubtful), he can't control it alone.",5,2023-12-25 07:28:49

The same way less corrupted administrations generate lists of those eligible for presidential pardons — the relevant part of the Executive Branch professional bureaucracy works with the White House to find candidates that meet their priorities and that pass some baseline standards (as opposed to a single outside interest group providing a short list). For both justices and pardons, past administrations have worked with the DoJ to find names (again, for the example of pardons, lists of those eligible were generated/vetted by the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney, as opposed to Trump pardoning, unvetted by the DoJ, cronies convicted of crimes related to him, personal friends/acquaintances, those selected by his momentary whims, and the occasional right-wing media cause célèbre).

From the article:

>In one sense, the key role played by one organization of lawyers in the selection of a Supreme Court justice is remarkable. Typically, the president works with White House and Department of Justice staff in identifying and assessing potential judicial nominees.
