Off to #SCOTUS, where the justices still have four cases yet to be decided: the travel ban, public sector union fees, CA crisis pregnancy center disclosure law, and water rights. We’re expecting to get one or more of those decisions at 10a, but we don’t know which or how many!

Note: Whenever the court says, "we may assume without deciding that plaintiffs’ statutory claims are reviewable," it means the plaintiffs lost that argument.pic.twitter.com/7ZI2KUotHx

On those statutory claims, the court rules, explicitly, that the law allows the president to ban all people from a given country.pic.twitter.com/kMrQR36sf1

This is true. Additionally, there were things she said in the courtroom — sometimes just an adjective here or there, but also full sentences like the one I noted above — that do not appear in her written dissent.https://twitter.com/ninatotenberg/status/1011636931548020736?s=21 …

Bernie Sanders' "Jill-Not-Hill" voters...happy now? Cornell West, happy now, my brother? I'll be expecting your YUGE crowds to be out protesting this prejudiced vote by 5 Cons on the Supreme Court of which Gorsuch, thanks to tRUmp, is sitting on Merrick Garland's lifetime seat.pic.twitter.com/PTKvEA0vBv

I definitely think people who didn't understand the importance of voting for Hillary this last election need to reflect on what they helped enable. Hopefully they'll get off their asses and vote in the midterms, now that they see what inaction has wrought.
-
I vote for who I like, not the lesser of two evils or the one who might beat the worst candidate. As voting is a right guaranteed to all Americans(and Canadians) I don't have to owe anyone a thing. Hillary was awful and given the chance most would still not chose her.

It sounds like you view voting as an act of self fulfillment. I view it as a public duty.

If you voted third party/didn't vote when Trump was on the ballot, then you placed your own preferences over the public good. That is your right, but don't expect people to applaud it.

A) I'm not American and B)I would never expect anyone to applaud any vote. It's not a popularity contest. Again, blame money in politics and a 2 party system for what happened
