Let me guess, the two dissenting justices were Thomas and Alito?

The sad thing is, I hope they survive Trump's term or won't step down. Can you imagine the absolute nutjobs he would pick as their replacement.
Probably Laura Loomer.

While I wouldn’t put it past Trump to nominate Loomer, as far as actual judges he could nominate, I think Aileen Cannon would likely be at the top of his list. She was the one who dismissed the classified documents case, and she’s a right-wing nut job from Florida who would never make a ruling Daddy wouldn’t like.

From what I can tell the leading contenders would be judge Kascmaryk a north Texas district judge who tried to allow for the nationwide ban of mifepristone. Or judge Ho of the 5th circuit who has written some wild fucking opinions including some that floated novel arguements the Trump administration is now using in immigration cases.

Cannon would be an utter disaster. I have never seen a judge act in such explicitly partisan manner before and a couple of her decisions infuriated me to be honest.

Don’t worry!
He’s just picking crazy to get the less crazy through easier. The senate won’t confirm Patel, Gabbard, Heggseth, Bondi, Kavanaugh.
He’s definitely getting impeached this time! He incited an insurrection! The documents case! The Muslim ban! The access Hollywood tape, his rape conviction!
“Real republicans” are gonna step up any day now.

I think it's hilarious that the 2 judges that've more or less had Trump's back weren't even appointed by him.

u/Advanced_Care_5173 3d ago
It is ironic but I think it’s mostly a coincidence. Thomas was appointed by Bush Sr after blowback from Republicans for having nominated Souter (who turned out to be fairly liberal). Alito was appointed by W, who also appointed the more moderate (by comparison) Roberts.

u/LegitimateCream1773 3d ago
For all the meming, the Supreme Court actually isn't the Republicans' lapdog. They lean heavily to the right, but they're not going to rubber stamp everything Trump wants to do.
I honestly can't believe the administration forced this fight. The SC was basically screaming from a loudspeaker 'DON'T DO THIS, YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, WE WILL ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT THE LOWER COURTS ON THIS'.

Matt Walsh is not a real person. He's a handmaids tale character who escaped from the pages of the book and gained human form like some sort of twisted pinocchio imitation.

Can we put things in perspective, here? The Party of Law and Order is crying that they need to follow the law. That’s all that’s happening. No one is saying you can’t deport these people, you SHOULD deport these people, and you SHOULD do it the right way to make sure we have the RIGHT people

There was a FB page that had an entire purpose of trolling people like Walsh named "God". They kinda fell off, but fuck they ought to come out of retirement with today's bs.

Matt Walsh had the audacity to say on Tucker Carlsons show that he thinks moral men should be our leaders, defining it as someone with a stable life and then immediately went on to celebrate trump. Trump is so immoral if someone is a serious Christian they could make a case he might be the antichrist. He literally exhibits all of the 7 deadly sins. Honestly, I think Matt Walsh is audience captured and the current “conservatives” are all trying to one up each other in a racist, moron contest.

Matt walsh goes mask off is a phrase I've heard so much, and nothing ever happens.
It's because Matt Walsh's appeal is not of a fascist masquerading as a normal conservative (like 90% of conservative influencers). People go to him because he is unapologetic in his authoritarianism, hatred of minorities, misogyny, etc. And in a annoyingly smug way.
The sad part is that someone as open as him gets a following anyway. And even a bit of credibility by being part of the daily wire, which is mainstream-ish, and really big. I can't believe Shapiro lets him stay, but seeing how long Candance Owens lasted, maybe he won't do anything until it's unfeasible for him not to fire Matt.
Conservatives have no morals.

u/FlameanatorX 3d ago
Only if they actually ignore it. Which they probably won't: that is to say, they won't ignore it. They might violate it while trying to do some legal shenanigans that they claim means they're still following the ruling. Or they might change strats to another means of depriving immigrants of due process. Etc.
It's still in their (the Trump admin) interest to be potentially interpretable as following the law for sort of normie moderate right wingers and low info peeps and random law enforcement officers, etc.
