U.S. Supreme Court

On Thursday, the Supreme Court struck down Alabama’s congressional map on the basis that it was a violation of the 1964 Voting Rights Act. The partisan decision was even more head-scratching when it was revealed that so-called conservative justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh joined the three leftists on the court. As was expected, the three evening news broadcasts gloated over the ruling…

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell suggested on Tuesday’s edition of The Last Word that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be impeached for “selling too much of himself” to billionaire friend Harlan Crow. Later, during an interview with President and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice, Michael Waldman, it was essentially admitted that their biggest problem with Thomas and the…

During a recent appearance on the podcast Roland Martin Unfiltered, the always unhinged Elie Mystal who serves as the justice correspondent for the left-wing rag The Nation, melted down when previewing upcoming decisions the United States Supreme Court is due to hand down. The case that got Mystal especially triggered is a case on the constitutionality of certain sections of the…

NBC’s Chuck Todd dedicated the entire hour of Meet the Press on Sunday to bemoaning how the Supreme Court has turned into a partisan body. Yes, even on Memorial Day weekend, Todd can’t give the partisanship a break. Even worse was Todd using a statistic with no context to paint Republicans as obstructionists when it comes to Democrat Supreme Court nominees. 

Thursday night’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell featured an odd hit piece on Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. O’Donnell, still reeling from SCOTUS’s historic Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, criticized the Chief Justice for a speech where he recounted the unfortunate danger the Court was faced with from pro-abortion activists in the wake…

Senior Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic joined Kate Bolduan on Thursday’s CNN News Central to react to a 9-0 Supreme Court defeat for the Environmental Protection Agency. However, Biskupic told a different story and instead claimed the result was 5-4.

United States Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said the quiet part outloud–the United States operated like an “autocratic” government during the COVID-19 pandemic and colluded with social media companies to silence free speech.

NYU law professor and former Sonia Sotomayor clerk Melissa Murray joined MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Thursday’s The 11th Hour claimed that Clarence Thomas is a hypocrite for wanting to overturn affirmative action while he takes vacations with Harlan Crow. At the same time, both Ruhle and Murray praised Elena Kagan for refusing a bagel platter.

Back there in the stone age of last month, here was the headline on a Washington Post column from associate editor and columnist Ruth Marcus: 

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart spent Friday’s PBS NewHour laughing at GOP allegations that Democrats are going after Justice Clarence Thomas simply because they do not like the Supreme Court’s recent rulings, implausible arguing this is just about transparency. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to find a centrist middle ground…

The cable networks of CNN and MSNBC spent a good portion of Thursday obsessing over a ProPublica report that Justice Clarence Thomas did not disclose friend Harlon Crow paying for his-great nephew's tuition while simultaneously downplaying—and in MSNBC's case, completely ignorning— reports that Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not recuse herself from a case involving the publishing company Random…

It was impossible to tell the difference between NBC’s allegedly straight newsman Chuck Todd and MSNBC’s Joy Reid as they both wondered what the GOP’s reaction would be if Justice Clarence Thomas was Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Harlan Crow were George Soros. Ignoring questions around Sotomayor was a theme for MSNBC on Thursday.

MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade joined Ana Cabrera Reports on Thursday to discuss the latest ginned up controversy surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas where she demanded that he either resign or be impeached despite admitting there “does not appear that there is any evidence that” Thomas’s friend Harlan Crow has influenced any of his decisions.

Former CNN legal analyst and infamous Zoom masturbator Jeffrey Toobin returned to the network on Thursday to promote his new book on Timothy McVeigh, but also to pile on Justice Clarence Thomas for being unethical and the rest of the Supreme Court for allegedly putting themselves “above the law.”
