Thank you John. 👏, as usual 👍
oh man, when it happens... Definitely going to have a party
Thank you for what you do
Thank you for covering the shadow docket
Awesome job. Thank you.
SCOTUS needs to be a voted in position and have term limits. Plain and simple.
The current Extreme Court is the most corrupt and blatantly partisan the Court has ever been.
This Blew my mind...please vote!
5 out of 9 were appointed by a president who didn't win the popular vote. Ooooffff!!!!!!
We might as well call them the Dark Judges of the Shadow Realm.
Checks and balances - this madness has to stop! Excellent work ❤👍
If the Supreme Court can make rulings without explanation, why do we need them at all?
Thank you John
The shadow docket is just SCOTUS overruling the circuit and appellate courts' rulings, giving the reason as "because I said so." And then forcing those other judges to rule in that same way.
We need an average age cap to retire all judges across the board.
we need to win the presidency and either 1) impeach several justices or 2) stack the court and get it back to something more impartial.
I've always felt that the Supreme Court needs to be held to the same standards as an elementary school math class. "Show your work." They should never be allowed to pass judgement without giving a detailed explanation and reasoning.
This show is one of the most important things we have right now! Thank you Staff of LastWeek Tonight!
The Shadow Docket is the most appropriate name for the sinister rulings that have taken place.
Impeach the partisan Supreme Court!
