Thought recess appointments were fun? Now we have recess rulings!

The US supreme court has cleared the way for Donald Trump’s administration to resume plans for mass firings of federal workers that critics warn could threaten critical government services.

Extending a winning streak for the US president, the justices on Tuesday lifted a lower court order that had frozen sweeping federal layoffs known as “reductions in force” while litigation in the case proceeds.

The decision could result in hundreds of thousands of job losses at the departments of agriculture, commerce, health and human services, state, treasury, veterans affairs and other agencies.

I propose that the name of the Supreme Court be officially changed to Donnie's Rubber-stamping Service.

They aren't even pretending to uphold law or precedent or even the Constitution. They're just using whatever illogic and lies might serve to let them hand Trump whatever he wants.

Which means that what they actually are are criminal insurrectionists - active co-conspirators in a deliberate and concerted effort to defy the Constitution, overthrow the government of the United States and replace it with an institutionalized (rather than ad hoc) plutocratic oligarchy.

Whatever new name comes to pass, it needs to get abbreviated to SHIT.

Talk amongst yourselves.
