Ask Lemmy

Because the Supreme Court and it's powers are defined in the Constitution itself, that's not possible. They are the highest court in the country.

The fact that Obama didn’t fill the position that Scalia opened when he died is probably one of the biggest missed opportunities in America’s recent history. Had his position been filled with a left-leaning Justice, especially a young one with many decades of life left, much of America’s Fascist changes could have been opposed.

As it is, the SC has become a rubber stamp for whatever the current Fascist/Authoritarianist regime wants.

Why can’t a judge say “I denounce the Supreme courts authority for their failing to uphold the spirit of the law and now I shall follow this other courts rulings”?

The constitution clearly says they can't, so if their notion of the law is claiming to be based in the constitution such a declaration would be obviously bullshit. If their notion of the law is not based on the constitution, that's an attempt to dissolve our government.

Because for some reason we are still following the leadership of the establishment Democrats and that is anathema to them.

They were chosen to be weak, to play good cop to Republican bad cop, to not change back anything Republicans have done let alone improve things and threaten the privilege the rich have chiseled from us all.

The right wing has been doing that very thing with campaigns against activist judges for decades and it has been relatively successful along with stacking the courts with Federalist Society hacks chosen decide with the party over country, specifically to change the country old dynamic in the US where it does it did not matter what party nominated what judge, they would in their lifetime appointments represent the people and their interests not that party.

They probably have career ending blackmail that would force these guys to resign If released on top of choosing them to be hacks.

Without new leadership doing anything politically is a complete waste at best and often exposes you to the party machine in power for persecution while receiving no protection from dems.

Like voting officials in 2020. How are we still fighting under the edtablishment dems' banner?

Hahahaha

Geez, man, read a book. Or even a Wikipedia page

You're advocating rule by mob over rule of law... You know, like the French Revolution
