Just because they don't rule the way you'd like, doesn't make them corrupt.

What's the cases they've ruled on that show you their corruption?

@MasterObee @MyOpinion Citizens United is but one example. The shadow docket is another.

Citizens united is a good example. Where do you think they got their law wrong?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@MasterObee Trick question. Courts don't write laws.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, they interpret it.

You said they got it wrong and it was a corrupt ruling. I'm curious where you think the law went against what they ruled, in other words, how did they interpret the law 'corruptly'

I don't find your argument convincing if you can't find any 'corrupt' court cases then.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@MasterObee You're an agent provocateur. No need to convince you. You don't hold your own opinion on anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I asked you to expand on your wild claim, you couldn't.

I was trying to learn your position and potentially go on your side if you had a solid argument. 1 thing you're right about is me not having an opinion on if the court is corrupt or not, because I don't have any information saying they're corrupt. I wanted to learn your argument, but you failed to convince me, and likely anybody else, with you've mentioned.
