@wiseguyeddie I'm asking about your position. What specifically makes you hold your position?

This isn't about me, I'm asking about your perspective regardless of mine.

@volkris MY postiton. We have a conservative SCOTUS who is being bribed into rewriting the Constitution of the United States to usher in a fascist regime which benefits not 'We the People" but the corporate entities and elites of this country. I hope that clarifies my position.

@wiseguyeddie If you look at this term the Supreme Court has been ruling the exact opposite of what you're describing, cracking down on the executive branch's ability to ignore the law, writing it in, insisting that the president must defer to Congress.

Ruling after ruling from the Supreme Court this term goes in the exact opposite direction from what you're describing.

Usher in a fascist regime? That doesn't vibe with the Supreme Court saying no, the president can't just prosecute without legal authority and can't issue edicts that Congress hasn't approved of.

So I don't know who you're listening to, but whoever it is, they're lying to you. Stop listening to them. They are misleading you.

@wiseguyeddie

The Supreme Court is clearly not making decisions that benefit “We The People”. They are not honoring the constitution. They ARE enabling foreign governments & polluters, union busting, and removing the guardrails of democracy. Thomas has taken millions in bribes. So they legalized bribery!

I don’t know or care if you’re American, but do keep on not paying attention.

Trump “loves stupid people” for a reason. His ignorant sheep WILL get hit too, eventually.

@volkris

@OnePlanet FINALLY, a voice of reason. I refuse to respond any further to the other party because they are clearly full of shit. Thank you for taking the baton. 😀

@OnePlanet so I'll say the same thing that I think I said above, what specifically are you talking about?

@wiseguyeddie

@wiseguyeddie what are you talking about?

No, the court didn't effectively make the presidency a monarchy, nor could it have, it doesn't have that authority.

Somebody is misinforming you and you should stop listening to those people.

@volkris You're delusional. First 'Citizens United' ruling effectively lets the rich and corporations buy political favor. The SCOTUS sanctioned this. How Constitutional is that! If you don't know what the Hell you're talking about, please don't attempt to protend to have a reasonable discussion with me because you actually sound like a troll.

@wiseguyeddie Read the citizens united ruling for yourself. In the ruling Kennedy goes out of his way to say the exact opposite.

Someone's lying to you.

@volkris The RESULTS. Look at what the results of what Citizens United has done to Democracy. If you can have the wealthy buy the US governement, how is that a Democracy. Do you think Elon Musk giving $45 million dollars to trump is not quid pro quo? I'm done with you. You must be some sort of bot or some bored contrarian, I'm done with you.

@wiseguyeddie again, read the ruling.

As Kennedy pointed out in the ruling, it had nothing to do with whether Elon Musk could donate that money. In fact, part of the reason they came down in that direction was to enable the rest of us to counter Elon Musk.

CU had nothing to do with Elon Musk giving $45 million to Trump. That wasn't in any way related to the question before the court.

What was before the court was whether you and me could pool our money to speak out in opposition to him.

Again, Kennedy spelled this out very very clearly in the ruling. He took his time to explain to us exactly what this ruling was going to do.

That somebody is misinforming you as to what was in the ruling isn't the fault of the Supreme Court, it's a matter of, stop trusting whoever is lying to you and telling you things that run exactly opposite to what was actually in the ruling, that you can read for yourself.

@volkris By the way, did you even read the @ThomHartmann article? The questions you ask me lends me to believe you did not. Stop trolling.
