Not that pausing this is anything less than insane, but note that SCOTUS has recently given administrative stays and then ruled against Trump after that. Nothing is a given either way
The fight isn't over until it's over. Don't read this news and give in the doom and cynicism Trump wants us all to have. We can still fight back, and people are still fighting. 5 million were on the street on Saturday. There's another nationwide 50501 protest on April 19th
I mean, I think a lot of those rulings against Trump have been after they would make any difference and are just being done to keep up the appearance that they'll be some kind of check on him (which after the immunity ruling seems like a pretty insane thing to believe, but people really want it to be true so they'll grasp at whatever this court gives them), and either way this court has been an unacceptable problem demanding reform since Citizens United, let alone Dobbs.
This I 100% agree with. My point in bringing up how corrupt the court is is not to make people feel hopeless but rather to make them realize that things are not normal and we cannot just sit back and wait for an authority figure to come and save us. We have to fight back, but we can do that and we are. Like you said, 5 million were on the street on Saturday, and there's another nationwide 50501 protest on April 19th, and I'm hoping it will be even bigger.
