Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Passing Laws that have ALREADY been Deemed UNCONSTITUTIONAL is a GREAT use of Taxpayer Money!
That was the other supreme court. This supreme court is different.
This GUYS’ Comment History.
You WEREN'T kidding
Well THAT'S fucking COMMITMENT
I wish my FIRST WIFE had that level of COMMITMENT
Doing so should automatically trigger a review, where losing again automatically means you lose your seat and a special election is called.
They know SCROTUS is going to uphold it
You do not know how to properly use capital letters.
Lmao I always love when my tags are 100% right and then come back when I have totally forgotten about them. (P.S. please don’t hate me it’s all just a lighthearted joke)
hasn't this already been ruled unconstitutional in other places? why are these people so fucking stupid
It's part of the strategy. Keep people's heads spinning and see what sticks. Even if one or two things survive, it pushes everything towards their goal.
If at first you don't get the ruling you want, keep trying and appealing and bringing case after case until you get the ruling you want. It's the MAGAt way.
(Also profitable for lawyers...)
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩
Actually I believe the correct term is, "fascism"
Roy Moore tried it in Alabama
Post them all in Farsi to enrage the MAGAts
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:5-6
This verse is superceded by the Supply Side Jesus version
Be sure to rub your faith into the face of your enemies, especially if they are woke and liberal. Because seeing them panic makes God happy and therefore you happy. While you're at it, make sure everyone with dark colored skin suffers even more.
Oh my lord. Where did you source this from?
Al Franken wrote about Supply Side Jesus. This is the animated version...
IKR? I cannot tell you how many xtians get butthurt when I tell them that "the" bible that they pretend to looooove so very much tells them to keep their religion in the closet. Literally.
Along with an X next to every Commandment the president has broken
What is the school gonna do with ten X's? Pretty sure this dude isn't honoring his father or mother.
Finally!!! Christian Texans will stop lying & killing people, right???
I can understand the appeal of the Ten Commandments to conservatives. Each commandment has its own prescribed punishment and for Texans, especially, I'm sure they all sound fantastic:
- Death.
- Death.
- Death.
- Death.
- Death.
- Death.
- Death.
- Death.
- Death.
- Feces on their faces.
Meanwhile someone at the ACLU:

_print_I'm calling on all Texas children everywhere to vandalize these commandments at every opportunity. Maybe you can't or shouldn't march during tense situations on the streets, but you can protest in the class room. Walkouts, sit ins, general malfeasance... Let's see what this younger generation has.
looks at American media, seeing guns, violence, and killing glorified as a wonderful and direct means of solving problems
Hmm. Are we sure these are the correct Ten Commandments? There's not even anything in here about how seeing a woman's boob on television is a mortal sin.
Get out your spray paint, kids.
sPray paint
Just what you expect from Greg "little piss baby" abbott
Enjoy your alt right fascist police state. Welcome to your 1984. Enjoy
this is nothing new, Republicans have been trying to do shit like this since I can remember and it fails in court every single fucking time
But the courts keep getting packed by the right. No one expected Row v Wade to be overturned.

The Nuclear Option: Judicial Engineering by Design
The term “nuclear option” sounds dramatic, but what unfolded was exactly that: a procedural detonation that reshaped the U.S. judiciary—and cleared the runway for Donald Trump’s legal invincibility. In 2017, Mitch McConnell pulled the nuclear trigger for Supreme Court confirmations. Facing a filibuster on Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch, McConnell changed the rules to force him through with just 51 votes.
What followed was a full-on Federalist Society takeover of the federal judiciary:
• 3 Supreme Court justices: Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett
• Over 200 lower court judges, all fast-tracked under the new simple-majority rulesLet’s just say: McConnell caught the car—which turned out to be a MAGA bus barreling straight toward the Constitution. And no, his idol Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be pleased—at this trajectory, our children will soon be learning Russian.
that doesn't matter as much as you might think it does and Biden pack the courts like crazy as well before Trump came back into power I wouldn't worry about that as much necessarily
and Biden pack the courts like crazy as well before Trump came back into power
Tell me more about this. How so?
Yet it was a Trump judge vying for a promotion that allowed him to retain control of CAs national guard.
It was a Trump judge that allowed him free from consequence for how he stored confidential documents in a bathroom near a copier while allowing visitors. There are enough of them and 6 on the Supreme court.
Keep seeing teachers saying that kids in school can't read anymore so this seems unnecessary.
in Texas, you say
The qons, focusing on the most important things. I'm sure this will improve the lives of Texans.
