Bro. I'm fucking DYING at this. Gonna rewatch the MLK episode of Boondocks and shit my pants laughing at uncle SCOTUS.
Uncle Tom mfer is the blackest white supremacist in the US.
Clayton Bigsby is proud of Uncle Clarence
How can a man in his position be so wrong about every goddamn issue?
Epstein class and nazi bribery. Can't you see the cuckoldry in his eyes, they grabbed em by the greed. What's he gonna do now, give up his ill gotten gains and admit he's a sockpuppet proxy for evil assholes.
Never known a sellout to change their ways. It's just one of those lines you cross and never see again
The issue is, while you and I would spend money on a lawyer to attempt to get a favorable outcome in court, someone with a lot of money will spend it on a motorhome for the judge deciding the case.
The guy that put his pubes on a can of coke and then gave it to one of his interns?
It’s time to reduce Thomas’ vote on the SCOTUS to 3/5ths.
The funny thing is, given the aims he's working towards, that's basically where it's all going anyway
I didn't realize that there was no constitutional right to birthright citizenship before the Civil War. TIL
Apparently, every state had its own laws and standards about who was a citizen, although there were a few congressional acts that established a basic framework.
It seems wild to me that we started a whole country and we didn't even figure out who was a member of it.
Keep in mind that the US was originally structured more like the EU. We spent about a century slowly shifting from a collection of nation states in an alliance to one big nation state.
A country of immigrants, no less.
Hey now sometimes you need to filter for the right immigrants, like can you imagine the absolute chaos that a Brandenburger could cause.
I don't know the point of this joke, just kinda felt like bashing the Prussians.
American law continues to be built on "oh we forgot to make that a law" and "oh we didn't think that would matter".
Well it used to be much harder to have identifying documents. So if you were in the country, you were part of the country.
That's why there was so much emphasis on Landowners. Owning land required some form of government documentation, like a Deed. Beyond that, there were no Drivers Licenses, Social Security Cards, Student IDs, Work IDs, etc.
Justice Thomas is evil he had his newphew falsely imprisoned at hidden lake academy one of troubled teen programs and this one of old school programs based on synanon methods. bbc link
Clarence ‘I Got Mine’ Thomas
Clarence "an rv is price enough to destroy America" Thomas
If that was the case, he would have taken Oliver's offer. He must just really like destroying America. So much so that he passed up an RV and a million a year just to fuck off.

Is that one long sentence, or is that a few sentences with no pause in-between?
After attending the Supreme Court hearing earlier this year, Trump falsely claimed in a Truth Social post that the U.S. is “the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”
This is such a stupid and easily disproved take. I've had relatives claim to me that the US is the only country with birthright citizenship. It's very common in the Americas.
And even if it wasn't, and the US was the only country with birthright citizenship, isn't that our choice as a nation? Do we have to do what other countries do? If we're going to do that, can we start with universal healthcare and then revisit birthright citizenship after, say, better protections for unions, guaranteed parental leave, guaranteed vacation time, unlimited sick time, higher taxes on the wealthy, abolition of at-will employment, and about 100 other policies the US is the only wealthy nation either not to have or to have a legal framework against?
There are 35 countries that provide citizenship unconditionally to anyone born within their national borders.
Uncle Tom bitchass. I hope he crashes his god awful motorhome

So now the country will go back to being kind of functional, right?
For now. We've established that SC Justices are allowed to make decisions totally disregarding the text of the constitution. It's only a matter of time before Mississippi decides to send catholics to prison, and some future SC decides that that's fine because the founding fathers would have wanted everyone to be evangelical.
“How can it be that black people are free?”
As spoken by the one judge who could care less…
Wake me up when they literally rip him in half.
