SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States)

I figured since the death of RBG, with so much attention being cast upon this judicial body, it was time for a thread of its own. I just read an article that two justices, Alito and Thomas, have "lashed out" at the decision that paved the way for legalization of same-sex marriage. Blows my mind that (at least) two justices believe that religious liberty trumps civil liberties.

One thing that strikes me as strange is the Democrats are going on and on about Obamacare in regards to the Barrett appointment. Why? There's no case that I know of that's calling into question the whether or not Obamacare is constitutional. They're treating this like it's an election campaign ("Our opponent will take away your healthcare!") but I don't think it works like that.

And...expanding the court is constitutional. Especially so when there is an imbalance in the court like now where 5 of the justices were placed by presidents that did not win the popular vote.

Yeah no case that I know of. Since you know of one, enlighten me.
Edit: It must be this one: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/19/politics/supreme-court-obamacare/index.html
And yeah the court was expanded like over 150 years ago, but in more (somewhat) recent years, even the democratic party was against it when FDR wanted to expand it. It's such a shame that the court is so partisan and that there "liberal" justices and "conservative" justices. It really shouldn't matter if their job is just to interpret the law.

There is the link to start your enlightenment. I can't fathom how someone can criticize anyone on this board and not know that case is pending.

It sounds like Senator Sheldon Whitehouse followed the money. I wish I had seen his presentation.

Fair enough on calling me out for not knowing that case was pending. I bolded "us" and "we" though because I thought I was talking to you.

The point is that the people should have a hand in who gets placed on the SC. And in 5 out of 9 cases that didn't happen.

I hope democrats actually do something when they control the WH and possibly both chambers instead of sitting on their hands and hoping republicans will do the same the next time they are in power.

I'm not a fan of the system either, by the way. Not necessarily because the person with less total votes can win, but because it renders so many votes useless. If every vote counted, then general election candidates would have to campaign in non-swing states, which would be good. The people of those states deserve to have their votes mean something. But if the popular vote determined the winner, the results (both electorally and popular-vote wise) could've possibly been different in 2000 and 2016 due to how differently Gore, Bush, Hillary, and Trump would've campaigned.
