The Roberts #SCOTUS will be remembered for supporting a #dictator and enabling a #fascist. Our nation will need decades-long effort to recover from the destruction of institutions by this #orange #felon.

@ZzyzxProton No this is false.
That's not how Humphrey's Executor ruled or how it applies to this current situation, whether it was a a solid ruling or not, which itself has been extremely questionable among experts for decades now.
So no, it's not that the court will be remembered for supporting a dictator. Hopefully it's that this moment will be remembered for the amount of misinformation and flat out propaganda that has been fed through social media like this.
No, that's not what's going on, and if you actually read rulings directly from the court, listen to the arguments directly, and keep up with decades of experts talking about these topics, you wouldn't fall for this kind of nonsensical posturing.
@volkris You are entitled to your opinion, however distanced from reality it may be. The key part from Humphrey's decision, "... Thus, the President could not fire a member solely for political reasons. Therefore, Humphrey's firing was improper." So, yes, this SCOTUS is definitely enabling a dictator.
@ZzyzxProton But it's not opinion. It's a matter of fact.
And so at this point we're not talking about a president firing a member sully for political reasons. Factually, that line doesn't apply.
And that's key to this whole situation.
Humphrey's is wrong because it violates the separation of power in the constitutional order, but even if it was right, factually that excerpt does not apply here.
@ZzyzxProton it sounds like you are confusing opinion with fact here.
They are very different.
If you think I'm factually wrong that's fine. That would be a fact, as a matter of fact. Not opinion though.
Separating a fact from opinion is kind of a big deal.
@volkris What you wrote applies completely to you - that part about confusing fact and opinion. I'll just leave it at that.
@volkris Again, your opinion that a unanimous decision was wrong. And this firing was political too. 2 democratic members one with a full 4 year term and the second with 3 years remaining were removed solely on political grounds.
