We really need to get these supreme court stooges out of there yesterday

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The article is paywalled.

huh... just a fully fake case? none of the things that the case is about happened?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. Not one thing in the filing actually happened. The Supreme court should never have heard the case.

Shoot there’s a paywall what does the article say?

If true... Why is this coming out now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you took a second to read any of the articles linked here the person in question didn’t know until a reporter reached out to them this week.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Right.... So no lawyer or journalist bothered to check the facts before running it up all the way to the bench of corrupt geareatrics.

Either this is a circus or they think we are all idiots.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Because no one thought that anyone would actually file a made up case to the Supreme Court..
