Mike Luckovich for April 19, 2023

You and Thomas.

Fellow named Clarence Thomas, most recently. Though there are a couple more waiting in the wings.

It’s a real shame America cannot be held to account for all the hypocrisy and dishonesty pouring out of you on a daily basis.

Moscow Mitch & The Lord Jesus Trump.

Honestly, I don’t think it is fair to call them a kangaroo court. I think it IS fair to call them an activist court, and a court with a political agenda.

More like the RWSC of the Talibangelicals.

Scotus Dei.

SCOTUS changed it, at least the conservative side.

Umm…I think we could trace much of it back to Reagan.

The dictionary suggests Mike is misusing the term Kangaroo Court:

A kangaroo court is a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides, and is typically convened ad hoc. A kangaroo court may ignore due process and come to a predetermined conclusion.

The Republican Party made SCOTUS a joke. It made up rules on the fly to force in justices of its choosing. They are disgusting.

The biggest one is Moscow mitch, then trump, then of course Bush sr appointing the most corrupt justice in recent memory, and on and on.

this is an insufferable insult to kangaroos…

What, Chief Justice Roberts doesn’t look in mirrors?

Unfortunately not amusing. But realistically the SCOTUS showed it was no longer what it purported to be in 2000, Bush v. Gore, when it decided that it would determine the winner of the presidential election, not like in several South American countries.

I Donot trust them anymore

Nice try, John, but it’s not going away. Deal with it.

Next step: Drumhead Court.

You did.

You!

It’s what free thinking American people think it should be.

“I learned it from you dad! I learned it from you!”

Poor Justice Roberts. ..Unwittingly got caught up in the web of Republican misfeasance, mischief, cheating and twisting of our Constitution..

SCOTUS needs a complete overhaul. Way to many cases are determined by pure politics, not the law.

You did, Roberts.

Actually. I would say that there have been many times when it amounted to that throughout its history. The Dred Scott Decision comes to mind.

I don’t believe that falsifying tax returns gets a free pass—gifts from “friends” nor payments that may be covered up by false real estate businesses are “part of doing business”…..CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS needs to do his job or find another one!

The legal dilemma here is that being dishonest, avaricious, and corrupt might be ethical violations but, unless they violate some actual law, they don’t rise to the level of criminal conduct, and the only penalty for being unethical is impeachment (since justices serve during “good Behaviour”), and that’s a political remedy, not a legal one. All the same, the majority of federal impeachments in American history have indeed been of judges, and Clarence Thomas has certainly qualified himself to be added to the total. Not gonna happen, of course, given today’s House of Representatives, but it’s even less likely that the chief prosecutor of the District of Columbia will find some excuse to get him fitted for an orange jumpsuit.

Most fitting!

All in all I think kangaroos would do a better job.

Mitch McConnell did, by denying duly elected Democratic Presidents their constitutional right to pick at least two justices.

Saddling the USA with a lying right wing hack majority. One that cares more about imposing horrible agendas and taking away hard earned rights of citizens, rather than upholding the laws of the USA, and its persuit of becoming a more perfect union.
