I wonder. I wonder if anybody has every charged the Supreme Court for not doing their job. Apparently virtually everybody who understands, and is watching the Supremes, seem to be on the side that says that they are just not doing their job! That being the case I wonder what would happen if somebody actually brought a case against them for not doing their job.
Interesting times.............
Thoughts?

It appears to me the conservative justices have ventured into the realm of politics by wondering what if future presidents would prosecute former presidents. If a former president committed crimes ... of course .... otherwise not likely (unless they would be Trump).
They should answer the question whether a president has unconditional immunity or are there limitations just as the Founders thought.
Seems obvious to me ... but I am but a simple citizen, who has no immunity from prosecution for any crimes I should commit
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty

Them, that have been put there by Trump, are, obviously, going to not decide this one. They get to pay back to their Lord and Master for all his whatever.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a congress that actually did their job. When dealing with the supremes one might even think that a serious congress would, at the very least, make the Supremes behave as the Supremes themselves force the rest of the courts to behave. I know, too much for anybody to actually expect.

The fact that the SCOTUS hasn't returned a decision on Trump's immunity claim - which they should have returned a decision the next day stating that a POTUS is not immune from committing crimes - tells me that the SCOTUS is trying to craft a positive decision that will only apply to Trump and not any other POTUS.
THAT is how corrupt our SCOTUS has become. These conservative judges would never bend-over backwards for a D-POTUS.

The Major Supreme Court Cases of 2024The consequential cases, with decisions arriving by late June or early July, include three affecting former President Donald J. Trump, two on abortion, two on guns, three on the First Amendment rights of social media companies and three on the administrative state. Still awaiting rulings: Immunity for Former Presidents Jan. 6 Obstruction Charges Abortion Pills Emergency Abortion Care Gun Rights Restrictions on the Homeless Rights of Social Media Platforms Disinformation on Social Media Opioids Settlement Power of Federal Agencies Administrative Courts Cross-State Air Pollution Bump Stocks for Guns I admit, I am very nervous about these.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
