"The Court has lurched so far rightward that Barrett’s views are sometimes moderate in comparison, but that doesn’t mean she’s liberal or will consistently work to stop Trump’s worst excesses. It likely does mean, though, that she represents the best possibility for liberal outcomes at the Court."

Why Trumpers are turning on Amy Coney Barrett

MAGA cultists won't tolerate anything short of total fealty.

this overlooks that the justices aren't so much talking about conservative versus liberal versus moderate in so many of these cases, but simply discussions about proper procedure.

Neither the world, nor the Supreme Court, are so black and white.

@volkris when it comes to Barrett but it is pretty clear the right is “interpreting” based on a federalist, Heritage Foundation play book. They are major players in dismantling our democracy. Comey Barrett may actually be listening to he only other women on the court. 🤞🏻

What in the world?

The court very often rules against heritage foundation positions, and the heritage foundation for its part often rails against what the court does.

In the real world, no, there is no love lost between those two institutions.

I know a lot of articles got this wrong, but no, that's the opposite of what the SCOTUS said.

In its ruling, which I'll link to below, the Court concluded by ordering the DC Circuit Court to continue the case against Trump, which is the opposite of saying he was above the law.

Further, its main holding was that presidents, including both Biden and Trump, were bound by law against prosecuting former presidents when there was no crime.

That's it. There has been so much misinformation spread about this case, but like I said, here's the link for you to read for yourself.
