Hmmm, not good because there are six Republicans and 3 Democrats on the Supreme Court.

Do justices always vote strictly along party lines of their appointing presidents/prime ministers?

If that is the case that you are making then The Supreme Court of Canada has 9 justices appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister that holds the federal government.

As of early 2026, 7 of the 9 current justices were appointed under a Liberal government (specifically during Justin Trudeau's tenure as Prime Minister).

7 of the 9 are Liberal Judges?

Unfortunately, SCOTUS has been splitting along party lines pretty regularly for some time now and every president tries to get some of "their people" in when they get a chance given the life terms for that very reason. Lots of 6-3 decisions or maybe 5-4 if a conservative justice happens to disagree with the majority. That's been going on for a while now if you actually follow the news.

Our Supreme Court has seemed less politically divided that way and with the mandatory retirement age, it's pretty normal for every PM of any political stripe to get a chance to appoint a justice or three. You won't have situations like the one in the US where a justice literally held on until she died just to keep the GOP from filling her seat with another conservative (and it failed anyhow). Trudeau, IIRC, was using a process where recommendations were made by a panel of some form, trying to distance the decision from politics a little. Still, I agree it's a risk and a potential problem with ours, too, just hasn't been as noticeable or problematic as in the SCOTUS in recent decades.

I am referring to Trump here, who probably has the goods on all of them in order to manipulate their decisions....this president is not following any rules or guidelines and doesn't care if he isn't.

If you think Trump is the one manipulating their decisions who do you think is manipulating Trump's decisions?

Asset Managers like BlackRock CEO and WEF's new boss Larry Fink?

*Consolidation of capital gives them the proxy votes to control nearly every major corporate board.

*BlackRock alone effectively holds 20,000 board seats, allowing it to dictate corporate policy across the economy.

*Even Elon Musk, for all his perceived power, must operate within this system.

*To fund acquisitions or expansion, Musk requires capital from this complex.

*This makes him beholden to the markets they control and the partners they choose for him.

*This complex doesn't just influence markets; it operationalizes its power on a global scale.

*Politicians who want to succeed must secure lobby financing from powerful corporate interests.

*Once in office, they are accountable to the sponsors who funded their campaigns.

*Trump is just a middle manager subordinate to corporate and financial interests.

*Government serves two primary functions: a "piggy bank" and a "battering ram."

*As the "piggy bank," the government uses its ability to take on massive public debt to funnel money to its corporate sponsors and lobbyists.

*As the "battering ram," it takes the public blame for the negative consequences of these policies such as inflation, failing services, and social decay.

*'s are paraphrased from the Follow the Money Not the Speeches podcast I mentioned up thread.

What about following Trump?
 
I'Ve heard there is a way to legally remove trump and his minions, but ir would require more support than they have. Looks there are no functioning Dems in the WH
 
It is all about capital ... it can even buy souls ... a dark activity lie Bathsheba ... part of the money making story! It is Jewed ... Jeweled pivot?

Resembles a Gem or other onyx ... something turns within it ... Planck Length? It is a tiny measure ... difficult to determine ...
 
Honestly, I think that Vance is more dangerous than Trump because he is not so obviously mad. They just use Trump to embarrass himself so they can play behind his back. Heck, Trump doesn’t even know the difference between Greenland and Iceland…
 
The recent killings of 37-year-old Renée Good and 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, both of whom were regular American citizens, reiterates that the government wields the omnipotent power to kill, torture or indefinitely detain - without due process and trial by jury - anyone it wants - with impunity.

This did not start with Trump.
