Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Honestly I didn’t know that random courts can do stuff like this in the US. Can't Joe Biden sign some executive order or something?
Joe Biden can punt a child across the white house lawn without consequence. He will simply shrug and call for the courts to be democratic and urge billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes. The end.
as usual rather than passing anything in gridlocksville (congress) dems just have an agency of the executive branch issue a rule leaving it open to all kinds of easy legal challenges. So they can say "we tried"
Biden can challenge this to higher level courts, but since they are also under Republican control they are probably going to tell him to pound sand.
An executive order probably wouldn't do anything (they'd rule it out too)
technically biden could drone strike every judge and not get arrested
coward wont even do that
Have Clarence Thomas shot on the front steps of the court, it’s a fun and legal thrill
Even if they couldnt before, the Supreme Court recentlt ruled that courts get the final call over executive branch stuff. Things are unbelievably fucked over here
