'An America that you won’t recognize’: Legal scholar Kermit Roosevelt III on SCOTUS and Project 2025

  • The Supreme Court’s latest term revealed just how fundamentally the ultraconservative supermajority has changed the dynamics on the court, as well as how dire its ethics issues are. The justices, however, seem to believe they’re above reproach. “The only way to take the Supreme Court back in the near term is actually court expansion,” Kermit Roosevelt III, Constitutional Law scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, tells Ali Velshi. It’s a critical moment for the country and the judiciary alike, with Republicans using the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 playbook to prepare for a possible second Trump term. Roosevelt adds that if they succeed, “it’s going to be an America you won’t recognize.”

      Actually not. One of the POTUS official duties is to appoint justices… So he can do that. Appointing justices without congress approval is illegal… so he can do that too according to this SCOTUS ruling. The SCOTUS own defense to their ruling is that the POTUS must be able to take bold actions to govern, not having to contemplate if those acts are legal or illegal.
      It is however an unethical act if you think the POTUS shouldn’t be immune.

    Isn’t it interesting that Presidents can break the law, Congress members can break the law, but somehow Supreme Court Justices cannot break the law? Their Constitutional role is to interpret the law, not create it. They are supposed to follow the Constitution, not create their own version. Clearly this court has gone rogue, has an agenda and has now engaged in legal malpractice. When does it become unlawful? Because until their latest immunity ruling, no one was supposed to be above the law. So, why do they seem to be? And if they’re not, how are they held criminally accountable?

Remember Trump was elected by millions of moderate democrats. Now they are mad after they voted for it. Trump could not have won without moderates from both parties, just like all elections. My party needs to stop crying, move on and concentrate on getting Biden removed so we at least have a chance to win the election. Because the moderates are leaning toward Trump again.

      Our Constitution vs Project 2025. Pick a side..
      Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the U.S Constitution is the world's longest surviving written charter of government. Its first three words-"We the People"-affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force because its framers wisely separated and balanced governmental powers to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and equality, and of the federal and state governments. Since 1789 the Constitution has evolved through amendments to meet the changing needs of a nation now profoundly different from the 18th-century world in which its creators lived..
      More than two centuries after its ratification, the U.S. Constitution remains a vital and living document, strengthened by amendments, serving as both guide and protector of U.S. citizens and their elected officials. It has survived civil war, economic depressions, assassinations, and even terrorist attacks, to remain a source of wisdom and inspiration.
      The creation of the U.S. Constitution depended upon the knowledge, experience, and dedication of its framers, just as its endurance depends upon the knowledge and experience of each succeeding generation of Americans. For this reason, it is important for us to learn and understand the governing principles of our nation, set forth in the Constitution.
      I love the fact that the first 3 words of our Constitution are "we the people." This affirms that the government of the United States, exists to serve its citizens.
      Honor our Constitution, and protect it at all cost, the same way it exists to protect us.

    Love Kermit Roosevelt III. He wrote a great book called "The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America's Story." It shines a light on the attempts to distort our nation's founding and critiques "the standard story" of our history. It illuminates how racist that story is and how hurtful to our future ability to overcome our misconceptions about history.
    A great quote from the book is this: "When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

    • @jwahl4263
      @jwahl4263 14 днів тому +2

      I think the reason the founding fathers gave them lifetime appointments was they believed it would be the best way to make them independent and be able to judge on the merits and intent of the law. That's how all judges should rule. If given term limits, could potentially go rogue knowing the term is coming to an end. Making deals behind closed doors. Such as highly favorable jobs for a specific ruling. And other issues. Making them elected positions for a period of time like the rest of government offices makes them beholden to certain voters for election and re-election. Not independent.
      Worked as it should for a while but didn't last. Number of reasons for that. I think the 2 biggest are:
      1. Parties. Our founding fathers knew the dangers of forming parties. They had advised against ever forming a party but chose not to ban them.
      2. Allowing the justices (or any judge) to accept gifts or do speaking engagements

    When the chief executive of the military gives an illegal and unconstitutional order. It is up to the generals and the military to ignore and refuse to follow such orders.
    Therefore it reasons that if the supreme court fails to uphold the constitution and gives an illegal ruling, let every lower court do what is constitutionally right, and ignore their unconstitutional ruling and directives. Then allow the case to be appealed back up to the SCOTUS and let them try to defend each and every corrupt decision that they have to make on a case-by-case basis. The supreme court wants the lower court to do their dirty work for them. Don't do it. Let them get their own hands dirty and show the American people how corrupt they really are.

    Expand to 27 justices with 9 being drawn by random for each case. With 27 you can process 3 cases simultaneously. This plus term limits.

    One of the reasons is that people live longer than they used to. You didn’t need term limits when people usually died in their 50s, 60s and 70s, now they’re going to 80+..

    All politics aside, 9 justices made sense when there were 9 circuit courts. Now that we have *13*, we should have 13 judges.

    The amount of judges are supposed to align with the appellate courts. There was 9, there is now 13.
    We should have 13 justices.
    There should be term limits and there should be age limits.
    It would also be nice on constitutional issues, all.justices must agree to it.
    I would also encourage changing our two Senators per State to be changed to population of that state.
    Why should Wyoming have 68%, more voice in the Senate than California?

    People forget that it's the general public that forced some of the biggest changes in this court. Chevron comes to mind, that was one commercial fisherman that was tired of unwritten rules be placed on him.
    People forget that it's the government that forces the hand of the people and the law is the last chance we have to push back. Chevron and Bruen are because of government over reach.

      Just because those rules aren't perfect or always enforced correctly doesn't mean things will improve without them. We learned the hard way throughout history why government intervention is important. From lead poisoning to burning rivers, these regulations were made through blood. It seems like we will have to learn the hard way again why they were needed.

    Supreme Court appointments should happen the same way the Postal Service Board of Governors is handled. Each party should be able to appoint 6 justices, and the President only appoints the Chief Justice. All justices should have a 18-year term limit, no exceptions, no re-appointments, and former justices would not be allowed to work as lobbyists. The Supreme Court is the biggest error the founders made. They never fathomed the idea that Justices could be corrupt so they did not make the court accountable to anyone except itself. It is unfathomable that any government official would not be accountable, ultimately, to voters. That is not "government by the people". SCOTUS is the ONLY body in government that does not have a code of ethics and zero consequences for even illegal behaviors.
