On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to use racial profiling in its militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles, halting an injunction that had barred officers from targeting Latinos based on ethnicity. The court did not explain the reason for its shadow docket order, which appeared to split 6–3 along ideological lines. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the decision was “unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees,” opening the door to violent persecution of Latinos—including American citizens—by “masked agents with guns.” The majority did not respond to this extraordinary charge, perhaps because it is so obviously true.
Biden could have but didn’t. Most of us here knew this was coming.
Biden could have expanded the Supreme Court but he couldn’t have purged it. It takes a 3/4 vote in the Senate to impeach a Supreme Court Justice.
Right, that was one option. Clarence Thomas has clear cases of corruption as well that could be pursued outside of the impeachment process, right?
I don’t think so. They don’t have a binding code of conduct so they can’t be prosecuted for corruption.
