The Supreme Court announced Monday that it was postponing that oral arguments that had been scheduled for later this month, including arguments in the high profile subpoena cases over President Trump’s financial documents.
There’s no reason except hidebound that they can’t do all of this with remote links.
This is way too convenient… the court could move people around to be 6 feet apart, and take the time to clean things. The nations highest court, a co-equal branch of government can’t just close.
Really transparent here, and makes roberts’s Look like a hack.
P.s. and most courts with far fewer resources to clean, check, are open, just not for jury trials and are avoiding things like motion days where lawyers would be jammed in.
Roberts has no excuse for this, just poor leadership and either (a) a desire to help trump by putting off high profile cases, or (2) just a lack of vision and an understanding of his role to be open for justice.
Stay safe RBG. Kavanaugh can go to the pub each night, though.
postponing oral arguments over President Trump’s financial documents. rescheduling those cases in due course in light of the developing circumstances,
I’m going to make a wild guess that “due course in light of the developing circumstances” means sometime after election day so Roberts and the Four Faustians see how Trump fares.
I think Boof Kavanaugh should lick a few toilet seats.
Cel phones… much dirtier, especially if the people are near trump…
If it saves RGB I can hold on.
It may be for the best. Keeps the 5 from enshrining awful jurisprudence
I prefer he just eat shit.
Too old. Probably the MAGA hat kid instead.
Jeanine Pirro…
Or maybe like most Republicans decided that covering for crooked idiot is a small price to pay for saving the White Male Supremacist Plutocracy.
Given RBG and Breyer’s age, I’m actually glad they’re doing this.
Both should be put in a cave in a vat of purell, right next to Biden, until November.
The press release cited only one other time in the Supreme Court’s history it had postponed oral arguments, for the Spanish flu epidemic.
But I’ve been told by our Dear Leader and his Twitter Hordes that this is just a regular flu that’s going to disappear like magic.
Clearly the SCOTUS is now part of the Democratic Hoax.
Which perjury charge? The one where he lied to Durbin in 2006? Or his mos resent confirmation hearing?
All the above.
They know what is coming in November, but this should terrify anyone about the future course of the Judiciary…
I’m surprised that at the same time Roberts postponed the Courts hearing he also did not announce that by a 5 to 4 decision the Court ruled that COVID-19 is not a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese and Democrats to hurt Republicans.
Fuck you Mitch McConnell.
In other news we have a POTUS who needs to be removed:
