uh oh, the first domino fell

he will never see 1 min in jail no matter what happens

his land deal bribe that "was a stupid thing to do" (his words) is prime example , same thing duke Cunningham did.

Fake news in this meme.

I’ve checked, and there is nothing about a unanimous ruling about the amicus briefs. None.

Please tell me where you got your info.

Lordy. I’m so tired of bs political reporting here.

The problems doesn't appear to be memes in this stream. It appears to be with your research abilities.

One week ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 9-0 decision, authored by Justice Ginsburg, that took judges to task for similar amicus antics.

my brother and I were talking to a family member the other day who is a retired federal judge and she is also the sister,cousin, daughter and granddaughter of retired/current Democratic reps fpor the city of Philadelphia.
My brother is also a die hard Democrat. He was asking her what this means and she basically said it is small now, but all cancer tumors start small..

She also analogized it as having a few weak bricks in your foundation. Both of us in new construction know that a weak foundation gets only worse the more weight you put on it.
She said "Exactly" and to the extent of dont get too excited, this will be mired in the courts for decades and nothing will ever come of it because of lawyers etc..
She said that some people will get fired over this and probably dis-barred
maybe some of the small fyres will spend a minute in jail eventually.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for a unanimous Court, held:

In our adversarial system of adjudication, we follow the principle of party presentation … [O]ur system “is designed around the premise that [parties represented by competent counsel] know what is best for them, and are reponsible for advancing the facts and argument entitling them to relief.” Id., at 386 (Scalia, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment).

In short: “[C]ourts are essentially passive instruments of government.” United States v. Samuels, 808 F. 2d 1298, 1301 (CA8 1987) (Arnold, J., concurring in denial of reh’g en banc)). They “do not, or should not, sally forth each day looking for wrongs to right. [They] wait for cases to come to [them], and when [cases arise, courts] normally decide only questions presented by the parties.” Ibid

I guess the us supreme court is fake now? I am sure you cant find it in the MSM
