The Florida law that limits drag shows in the state will remain blocked, the Supreme Court said Thursday, dealing a blow to a key initiative championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Florida had asked the high court to narrow a lower court’s injunction that stopped the law from being enforced statewide. The justices declined to do so.
Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have allowed the law to take effect.
What scares me is there’s no repercussions for ignoring the court anymore.
That’s the secret. There never were any repercussions. All of civilization runs on the trust that people respect others.
I like to say that “justice” is a fairy tail people tell their children to help them sleep at night.
There wasn’t when the SCOTUS told Andrew Jackson to respect treaties signed with indigenous populations, and the Trail of Tears and tens of thousands of dead people were the result. In fact they impeached him over this and he bribed a senator to change their vote which put them one vote below the number required to convict. The sort of corruption you mention has been around since the country was founded.
Andrew Jackson was not impeached.
Johnson was impeached for firing a member of his cabinet without senatorial approval.
Laws aren’t real. Money isn’t real. Governments are not real. None of it is real.
