And with the Taney Court they had competition. Now they have passed that like Secretariat.

APPROPRIATE CONGRESSIONAL BRIBE MONEY SUFFICIENT TO GET THEM TO FUCK OFF INTO RETIREMENT.
I figure $300 million will do the job.

I was under the impression it was the opposite. Major Questions as I understand it is a concoction by the Cort that licenses them to strike down Executive action that addresses a Major Question in policy on the grounds that only Congress can do. It limits the Executive from imposing policy that should be left up to Congress as it is of “major” scope. Which is all BS. The scam was concocted to give the Court “major” authority to strike down policy which is of little difference in scope to that instituting it. A strict read of “Major Questions” would lead to Congress alone making or breaking policy.

This seems about right; my observation is that food and housing costs have not risen at the same rate as tuition. I suspect there is a story behind that.

No.
If people still were not convinced after the debacles of 2000, 2010, and 2014, there can be no excusing them for sitting out 2016 or “voting my conscience” on some third-party spoiler clown.
A lot of these problems would never have happened if we’d only have voted for the guy who invented the internet and the email lady.
I’m afraid that they will do it again next year.

The Supreme Court’s right-wing majority rejected President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief plan Friday, using an in-vogue right-wing “doctrine” to help do so.
“The HEROES Act allows the Secretary to ‘waive or modify’ existing statutory or regulatory provisions applicable to financial assistance programs under the Education Act, but does not allow the Secretary to rewrite that statute to the extent of canceling $430 billion of student loan principal,” Chief Justice John Roberts writes for the majority.
… … … … … … …
The Chief Justice wants students and former students to be in debt for the rest of their natural born (which is a whole nother fight) lives

The least she could have gotten from that mess was a basket full of buttery males.
Just ignore the ruling.
(Respectfully)
This line of thinking is why we can’t make forward progress.
The historic '22 elections, I believe, disproves this.
Fist mid-terms are a bloodbath unless a major event.
'02 was an anomaly because 9/11, and '22 was a mostly hold… meaning court news is akin to a 9/11 type event.
If the ayatolla’s on the SC keep it up, it’s political malpractice not to take advantage.
They will do this regardless. Whether Joe takes the position or not…
Using an 8 year old gripe as a slogan for '24 is not a winner despite its factual correctness.

Unfortunately, several millions of those who will be negatively impacted by this will still likely vote Republican next year. Ugh.

Since you bring it up, you do know that Gore never said he “invented” the internet. It was an early, major example of a lie that wouldn’t die.

What are they going to spend that money on?
Lavish vacations? 
Buying their mom a house to live in for free?
Plus, when they have that kind of money then who on the SC will take care of their interests?

The conservative-leaning Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 in favor of a Colorado web designer who argued she should be able to refuse to do business with LGBTQ customers. In the case, 303 Creative v. Elenis, Lorie Smith argued that Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws can’t compel her to make a wedding website for a gay couple. The court agreed with her on Friday, ruling that anti-discrimination laws can’t compel a person or business to provide a service or send a message with which they disagree under the First Amendment. “I think this is a license to discriminate of the highest order,” Sarah Kate Ellis, president of the LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD, said on MSNBC as soon as the decision was handed down. As part of her case, Smith cited a man named Stewart who was one half of a gay couple who wanted a wedding website made. However, The New Republic tracked down Stewart this week, who said he was straight, married, and never made such a request. “[S]omebody’s using false information in a Supreme Court filing document,” he said.

Maybe I am wrong, but President Biden seemed extremely reluctant to give 26 million Americans a break on their student loans. Now he can blame SCOTUS, after years of delaying action himself.
Next year the Dems will wonder where their voters disappeared to. Because they never learn, or think they are smarter than us.
