17. SCOTUS
Thu Jun 12, 2025, 10:58 PM
Jun 12

I'm pretty sure the regime would be toast at the 9th, and they know it.

The 9th has 29 judges
10 appointed by Trump
3 appointed by GWB
The rest Clinton, Obama, or Biden

They'll take another shot at SCOTUS handing them autocratic power in an unsupported decision on the shadow docket.

Or at a minimum, the black robbed traitors on the court can probably be counted on to pull some manoeuver to keep regime-ordered troops on the ground through the weekend as they "deliberate."

But who knows? Perhaps this will be a bridge too far for the likes of Roberts and Coney Barrett.
