In other words, Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas, #NeilGorsuch & #BrettKavanaugh don’t believe in the power of the #judiciary, their own power, or the #SeparationOfPowers.

They believe that the president is in fact above the #law — as long as that president is #Trump.

Here is the order, Alito’s self sabotaging dissent starts on page 2.

Judge Ali should consider "the feasibility of any compliance deadlines," #SCOTUS added.

4 conservative justices dissented from the denial of the application, w/Justice #Alito writing that Ali did not have "unchecked power to compel the government to pay out ... 2 billion taxpayer dollars."

"I am stunned," Alito added.

The other dissenters were Justices #ClarenceThomas, #NeilGorsuch & #BrettKavanaugh.

Lawrence: An ‘afraid’ Trump sits idly by as Musk illegally seizes our data

"After Elon Musk and his “band of unnamed computer operators” gain what the Treasury Department is calling “read-only access” of the payment systems, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell says there’s no reason to believe the Treasury and we still don’t know what access Elon Musk has in the United States Treasury."

I'm watching the TV series The Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah.
Season 1 she "Equalized" a political consultant who raped women & got them to sign NDAs

A rich guy who hid that his 'self driving' software didn't work & people died

A tech bro whose platform was used by radicalized people & their RW racist anti-immigrant views to plan bombings

A corrupt judge

I know it's escapist fiction, but I crave it seeing how #Trump #Musk & #ClarenceThomas get away with their crimes & nobody stops them

Justice #ClarenceThomas failed to disclose 2 additional trips from a #billionaire patron than have previously come to light, #Senate #Democrats revealed on Sat after conducting a 20-month investigation into #ethics practices at #SCOTUS.

The findings were part of a 93p report released by Democratic staff members of the #Judiciary Cmte along w/~800pgs of docs. It said the 2 trips, both…previously unknown…, took place in 2021 & were provided by #HarlanCrow
