I’d like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I’d like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I’ve never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I’ve been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.
I’ll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.
Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I’ve ever been a part of.
And that’s why it’s not “gun ownership is guaranteed by constitution” but “gun ownership is guaranteed by the recent decision of 9 unelected people, but actually less than that, some of then were against it”.
All it takes is a majority ruling to set the precedent, and they have done so four separate times now.
June is going to probably be another heartbreaker for folks expecting the court to suddenly swerve left.
Precedents also stopped being relevant. Forget stare decisis, they don’t even pretend to care about some kind of rule of law altogether, they gave a president an unlimited indulgence for fucks sake, all that legal bullshit is just a game for nerds now
Stopped being relevant because the court swung ultra right wing.
Since Roe vs. Wade in 1973, there have been 16 judges appointed to the court. 11 appointed by Republicans, only 5 by Democrats.

To reverse that action, it will take another 51 years and more Democratic than Republican appointees.
Look at the current court.
3/9 members appointed by Trump. It’s highly likely he will make Thomas and Alito a deal to retire just like he did with Kennedy. Once they are out that will give us a 5/9 Trump court for the rest of our lifetimes.
