All Six MAGA 'Justices' Were Partying It Up With Trump at WH Dinner, Hours Before Gutting Voting Rights
Alarm as Supreme Court right-wingers seen at Trump's White House dinner - Rawstory via MSNThe appearance of all six conservative Supreme Court justices — and only the conservatives — at a White House black tie dinner for Britain’s King Charles III is raising eyebrows within the legal community.
According to MS NOW legal analyst Lisa Rubin, all six justices nominated by Republicans... attended the Tuesday night event. "None of the three justices nominated by Democratic presidents were there, invited or not," Rubin reported.
The timing is particularly striking because the dinner occurred just hours before the court released a 6-3 decision significantly weakening the Voting Rights Act, and on the eve of oral arguments about the legality of the administration ending temporary protected status for Syrian and Haitian immigrants.
Historically, state dinners feature only a single Supreme Court justice. During Trump's first state dinner in 2018, Chief Justice John Roberts and his wife were the sole court representatives invited.

Laura Coates: 'Today six Justices all but threw away the Voting Rights Act of 1965' - CNN All meaning has been erased from the Voting Rights Act of 1965. That's what CNN Chief Legal Analyst and Anchor, Laura Coates, is arguing. Laura spent years as a career prosecutor in the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. And she warns minority voting power will be diluted and efforts to change that will now be "insurmountable" to prove.
AND NOW A WORD FROM J. CARVILLE: "Corrupt Sons of B---------"
James Carville Rails Against ‘Corrupt’ SCOTUS Justices - The Daily Beast via Yahoo News
“These sons of b----es were so political, so happy to help the Republican Party any way they could,” the Democratic strategist raged. “They wrote a convoluted decision that legal scholars are still trying to wander through to think what the f--- was the rationale for this.”
“There is no reason, none, that you should have any respect or any admiration for this pack of people who take money from anybody, don’t report anything, are the only nine people in the entire f---ing federal government that operates under no ethic rule,” he said.
“What do they do?” Carville continued. “They take trips. They take money. They show up at the airport, and they fly on world-class fishing trips to Alaska. They sell their houses to people for more money to practice law before the Supreme Court. Their wives work as headhunters for law firms that practice before the Supreme Court.”

Carville also weighed in on Robert's, calling him a (checks notes) "f---ing clown... a partisan hack clown.”
um... What HE said.
