So basically they don't want us to know until after the election to help Trump. This is disgraceful.

They will do the same with his taxes.

1. Dems need to unpack this court

[dalton99a]

10. Absolutely

[BSdetect]

2. Rancid with corruption

7. the traitortrump wing of the U.S. Supreme Court

3. Nakedly political. Time to add at least two more to the bench.

That needs to be a high priority for President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Schumer.

Next, expand the Federal Bench at all levels to dilute the corruption.

Next, a massive wave of investigations and impeachments of all of Moscow Mitch's appointees.

13. No, 15.

Here are some suggestions for appointments

Hilary Clinton (Chief Justice, demote Roberts)
Bernie Sanders
Al Gore
Carol Mosley Braun (Because I want to hear Jesse Helms turn in his grave)
Mazie Hirono
Catherine Cortez Masto
Peggy Flanagan
Shiela Jackson Lee

15. Nope, we need someone really young to be on that court for a long time

19. First important thing to me

Is diversity. My white picks are so Rush Limbaugh, et al's heads will explode as Kamic justice is served.

The other pricks are overdue balancing the scales. By the time these folks are looking to retire, people like AOC will be old enough to take their place.

17. I deleted a reply because I thought Roberts couldn't be replaced as Chief Justice

He can. Google is awesome.

18. Nope. AOC, make the Pukes heads explode.

[Miguelito Loveless]

20. Agreed,

but she needs to be a bit older (40s) to be considered for the job. Meanwhile, she is very helpful in the House.

4. Informed decisions are tough when you dont have access to all the info

This is absolute bullshit and if I had more time, I would read the decision for their basis for this denial.

I agree with you SunOnMars for your comment above, but HOPE (that's all we can do now) that the S.C. will allow the tax matter to move forward now (and wait until later this year...)

[TheBlackAdder]

5. Yep, this is pretty good foreshadowing of how the tax issue will go.

[sunonmars]

6. Yup, pass the buck basically, if Biden wins, then Trump is screwed anyway, its a "not touching it"

They know, if Biden wins, doesnt matter, DOJ will hand it over anyway, Trump wins, then they will have to rule.

9. Dems are moving to exorcise Dred Roger Taney out of Capitol Hill

Was hoping that ''Taney's Ghost'' would shake up roberts a bit

8. So,

Justice? What? Supremely biased?

Who is the SCOTUS supposed to be serving? We are back to that, huh?

It seems we are seeing more issues that should bring to question the legitimacy of those who have been honored to serve the country. Who gives them that duty and the power to do so? They don't own it, but are custodians.

The answer should be obvious.

11. Democracy dies in darkness.

It's time for a Pentagon Papers style leak.

12. The Supreme Court became a branch of the Republican Party on December 12, 2000

[Firestorm49]

16. This, despite the fact that the rules state that the material "shall" be handed over to the House,

not “may” be handed over.

So much for rules. Despite a few wins at the SC, I believe that in what I consider really big decisions to come, they’re going to be as partisan as McConnell.
