Historically, one has not had to look very hard — or far — to find a prince of the church cavorting with fascists, or working hard to seek their favor.
It is increasingly obvious that people who support Trump are contradicted by facts and logic. Kirk was a schill for Trump. So is Dolan and so are the six contemptible fascist "justices" sitting on the Supreme Court. However, more people every day are beginning to see through Trump and his evil cadre of supporters and apologists. Here is a powerful example:
A column by attorney George F. Gallard, is a no-holds-barred indictment of the six fascist SCOTUS justices. Some quotes:
“Lawyers who comment publicly on the Supreme Court tend to do it politely. I think it’s time to stop pulling punches.”
I try not to take up too much space; but, I decided to post the entire column:
The nation’s highest court recently let U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement resume aggressive immigration stops in Los Angeles based on criteria such as speaking Spanish or gathering at locations where day laborers often congregate — simply put, for being Latino and poor.
This was the latest, and one of the most sinister, in a hailstorm of unexplained rulings paralyzing attempts of lower courts to rein in President Donald Trump.
Lawyers who comment publicly on the Supreme Court tend to do it politely. I think it’s time to stop pulling punches.
If you took a secret poll of lower-court federal judges, I’d bet 90% would rate most or all of these rulings as wrong, if not lawless.
So what’s going on?
Here are my educated guesses, as a lawyer of 52 years’ experience.
Since the majority hasn’t yet explained any of these “shadow docket” rulings, and since they’ve all had immediate and crushing consequences, the justices can’t complain about people guessing why they made them.
RESENTMENTs
I believe four of the justices are deeply influenced by resentment, if not hatred, of the Democrats.
Clarence Thomas blames them for calling him out about Anita Hill and saying, correctly, that he’s indebted to affirmative action.
Samuel Alito blames them because he thinks they’ve shafted ethnic white people in favor of Black and Latino people — witness his seething opinion in the 2009 New Haven firefighters case.
Alito and Thomas suspect or outright believe that Democrats stole the 2020 election — witness the stop-the-steal flag Alito allowed to fly over his residence.
Neil Gorsuch likely blames the Democrats for roughing up his mother, Anne, in front of Congress when she was Environmental Protection Agency administrator.
Brett Kavanaugh blames Democrats for revealing his behavior as a teenager — witness his confirmation hearing rant essentially calling Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony the result of a cabal of sore-loser Bill Clinton supporters.
Since the enemy of my enemy is my friend, these four are essentially all in for Trump, come what may.
But that doesn’t explain John Roberts or Amy Coney Barrett, who seem free of such resentments. I think other forces are at work on them, and on the four too.
OTHER FORCES AT WORK
First, they lack empathy. None of them seems bothered by the sadistic cruelty of Trump and his crew.
There’s no sign they’re troubled that the overnight shuttering of the United States Agency for International Development is causing deaths and starvation from abruptly ending food and medical programs in Africa (foreign aid is a waste of money!) or that thousands of federal employees who served the public for decades lost their livelihoods, sometimes on an hour’s notice (we must let the government improve efficiency!).
Or that masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents snatch people off the street and put them on planes for hellhole prisons in Uganda or El Salvador (these people entered our country illegally!) or that years, if not decades, of labor on medical research projects go down the drain when grants are yanked overnight by Elon Musk’s ignoramuses (go ask the court of claims for money damages!).
Second, I think all six of these justices have an authoritarian streak.
They think the social and political orders need urgent reordering.
That, they feel, demands a big man with largely unhampered power.
Nothing else adequately explains their “unitary executive” doctrine (which likely has the Founders turning over in their graves) and their paranoia about the “deep state.”
QUESTIONABLE DOCTRINES
Third, they invent doctrines to scrap things they hate and ignore those doctrines to uphold things they like.
When Joe Biden was president, they concocted a “major questions” doctrine — which demands that Congress specifically authorize “major” executive actions — to kill his efforts to slow climate change and reduce student debt.
And to expand gun rights, they decreed that the Constitution must be interpreted according to the Founders’ intent.
But since Trump is doing things they like, they give him carte blanche, congressional authorization or the Founders’ intent be damned.
To quote one example among many, they blessed his destroying or neutering entire agencies without a word about whether the Congress that created them would have authorized that.
In due course, I expect them to bless Trump’s military occupation of blue-voting cities without worrying whether the Founders, or the Congress that passed the statute limiting the use of the military in domestic policing, intended to allow such a thing (they didn’t).
I similarly expect these justices to let him impose any tariff he pleases by deferring to his label of “emergency,” regardless of what the Congress that enacted the current tariff authorization scheme meant by that term. Maybe, and hopefully, they’ll surprise me, but I’m not holding my breath.
POOR JUDGES OF CHARACTER
Fourth, they seem poor judges of character.
They can’t deny that Trump promoted a failed coup in 2020, pardoned the Capitol rioters, sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll, uses his office to enrich himself and his family, slanders enemies in ways that make Joseph McCarthy look polite, changes policies on a whim because someone flatters him and repeatedly expresses the desire to be a dictator.
But I think these justices somehow shrink from accepting his words and actions for what they prove him to be: a danger to the rule of law.
Of course, smart and well-educated people across the political spectrum display similar denial and naivete when it comes to politics. But it’s gut-wrenching to find these qualities in Supreme Court justices who must judge a president.
FEAR OF TRUMP
And finally, I think Roberts and Barrett fear that if they rule against Trump, he’ll ignore the rulings.
If I’m right about this fear, letting it dictate their votes is a reasonable definition of cowardice.
Judges in dozens of countries have let themselves be cowed by authoritarians on the same rationale. It has never ended well, and it won’t end well this time.
Shame on them all.
George F. Galland Jr. is a lawyer who is of counsel to the Chicago firm of Miner, Barnhill & Galland, P.C.
The Supreme Court is truly a disappointment, not only to me, but to the Constitution itself! McConnell will be laughing all the way to HELL, for how he totally unbalanced the S. C.! Was I so naive to think that John Roberts, was a true constitutionalist? Was he always on the extreme right, like Thomas and Alito, or did he change for some strange reason? With regard to the Epstein Files/list-I wonder if any of those S. C. judges are named? It wouldn't surprise me any more!
Beware also of stupid, selfish fools who claim to be able to "fix" everything if you give them power. You will know them by their idiotic statements:
In a Fox News hit that left viewers baffled, Trump said, “We’re gonna be reducing drug costs over the next year, year and a half… by a thousand percent,” before adding, “it’ll go from $10 to $20 for us.”
The two ideas cannot both be true. A 1,000 percent “reduction” from $10 would take the price to negative $90—meaning drugmakers would pay patients to take pills—while doubling $10 to $20 is, well, a 100 percent increase.
And a bit further on, Matthew 7:21-23, vis-a-vis all the disciples of the Anti-Christ who lay hands on a miserable excuse for a human being who has broken at least nine of the Ten Commandments and a great many more:
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 25:41 ff makes it pretty clear. You can follow Jesus or you can follow Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and the Christianist Fundamentalists. But you can't do both.
41“Then He will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
42for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;
43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44“Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and we did not minister to You?’
45Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to Me.’
46And these shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
The Beatitudes; A truly beautiful sermon that Jesus told the people on the hillside. Even if you are not "Christian", look up "The Beatitudes", sometimes called the "Sermon on the Mount". If you want to know what Jesus was all about, it is rolled up in those passages in the Bible. If you are Christian, and are already familiar with the verses, refresh yourself regularly. Good to read if you are about to protest! IMHO: These words of wisdom are also the key to the Heavenly Kingdom. Again, I'm too preachy!
The MAGA brand of Christianity has absolutely nothing to do with the moral behavior Christ demanded of his followers. In fact, reading through your post, would convince any reasonable person that MAGA behavior is the kind of behavior that would cause one stuffer hellfire for eternity, and that's a long time.
The quiet college near me was on lockdown last night because of Kirk. And MAGA got involved by sending a paramilitary group with armed men onto the campus to stir up trouble and then disappear. Remember the word paramilitary. We will see more of this in the degraded society in which we live.
I hope someone will send this segment to Pope Leo….he needs to call Dolon to account. My bet he is just BSing because he does not know what Kirk hated!
I had to stop listening to the video after a minute or two of listening and looking at the selfish, materialist pig, Cardinal Dolan, who looked as ridiculous as he sounded.
I totally agree. The man is lower than whale shit. I don't care what kind of bizarre outfit he wears in an attempt to look authoritative. He is a narrow-minded white supremacist POS.
Probably, but I think of all the protests during the Viet Nam war. It took a while and a lot of protesting; but they grew and grew, until finally, things got done. We are not as energetic yet, Trump has a way of making all of us weary; but it will happen, because we are on the side of truth! VOTE!! So many Americans don't vote and didn't vote in 2024-so we ended up with "orange satan"! Our state has a small election coming up. Most people skip the "smaller" elections; however, they are just as important as the General. With things going the way they are, state elections will be more important than ever. I have a feeling, that it will be the states that will be standing up to Trump and MAGA. VOTE BLUE! You know that the MAGAs will be voting!
I was discouraged and angry to hear Cardinal Dolan compare Kirk to St. Paul. God help us!
He should know better. I can't believe that Pope Leo will let this go unaddressed. We may not hear anything about it, but I bet it gets addressed.
So maybe he's comparing Kirk to St. Paul when he was persecuting Christians. He wasn't a saint then. Dolan can call him a child of God and pray for his soul, but he should have left it at that.
If anything, Kirk's murder doesn't change the facts, that both tRUMP & Kirk are total fascist, racist and bigoted POS.....along with Bondi, Shady, Patel and that nazi prick, Steven "Joseph Goebbels Jr." Miller....along with the rest of the GOP scumbags.
I have to say no one in the church makes me more angry then the disgusting Dolan . He is despicable.. I do think Pope Leo will have words with him .. I am an ex catholic forever but one of my sisters was a nun. If there is anything still pure about catholisim it is people like my sister. She was real and honest .. He is a shithead who gives catholics a bad name .. Him and Vance .. My sister used to tell me that when she would go to MASS there would be all these cars with maga stickers on them. She used say," Mare I don't understand it." Evangelicals and Catholics for Trump sad..Funny how the teachings of Jesus seems to be completely lost on them. lost in america.
In support of the current movement to bestow martyrdom and eventual Sainthood on him, here is Charlie Kirk, devout Christian, in his own words:
“Black women do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously.”
“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment.”
“Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, you’re not in charge.”
“Empathy is a made-up, new age term. It’s not a virtue.”
I especially like the last quote. I believe the “new age” he was referring to was the time Christ walked the earth and preached such unempathetic things as:“Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
I sent a comment to Cardinal Dolan. The unmitigated contempt for the Christian message he showed -- someone who also is not untainted by pedophile scandals. He should be demoted; sanctioned, and silenced. Maybe Dolan is trying to provoke a showdown with the new Pope.
The Bishops and Cardinals in America disliked Pope Francis, for what he preached, they, they basically went their own way ; I can see them doing the same to Pope Leo! Compared to the other countries, America's catholic leaders/clergy are very conservative!
The Catholic Church has never been the “good” Catholic Church of our youth. That was the heyday of priests molesting little children all over the world, without consequence or remorse, protected by church leadership like Dolan. The reason we remember it as “good” is because we were young and naive. I say this as a (happily) 50-year lapsed Catholic who escaped the cult.
It is increasingly obvious that people who support Trump are contradicted by facts and logic. Kirk was a schill for Trump. So is Dolan and so are the six contemptible fascist "justices" sitting on the Supreme Court. However, more people every day are beginning to see through Trump and his evil cadre of supporters and apologists. Here is a powerful example:

“Lawyers who comment publicly on the Supreme Court tend to do it politely. I think it’s time to stop pulling punches.”
He goes on to list “educated guesses,” backed by solid evidence, as to why there has been “a hailstorm of unexpected rulings paralyzing attempts of lower courts to rein in President Donald Trump.” To find out how he backs up his “educated guesses,” click here: https://www.dailygazette.com/commentary-why-does-the-supreme-court-keep-backing-trump/article_daa8b1ef-a012-44cd-8126-6f0d42cd7a7f.html The column originally appeared in The Chicago Tribune.
The guesses:
“I believe four of the justices are deeply influenced by resentment, if not hatred, of the Democrats.”
“...they lack empathy. None of them seems bothered by the sadistic cruelty of Trump and his crew.”
“...they invent doctrines to scrap things they hate and ignore those doctrines to uphold things they like.”
“...they seem poor judges of character.”
“...finally, I think Roberts and Barrett fear that if they rule against Trump, he’ll ignore the rulings.”
The last sentence in the column is, "Shame on them all.”
I try not to take up too much space; but, I decided to post the entire column:

I suspect threats and/or bribery influence those six SC justices.
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."

Send this to Dolan.

Just curious-was this in Fort Collins?
Wilmington, NC.
I hope someone will send this segment to Pope Leo….he needs to call Dolon to account. My bet he is just BSing because he does not know what Kirk hated!
I had to stop listening to the video after a minute or two of listening and looking at the selfish, materialist pig, Cardinal Dolan, who looked as ridiculous as he sounded.
My bet is that is what he really thinks, and he's not "BSing" as you say.
I totally agree. The man is lower than whale shit. I don't care what kind of bizarre outfit he wears in an attempt to look authoritative. He is a narrow-minded white supremacist POS.
Don't wait for the ballot box, NO KINGS PROTEST October 18. Carry a sign and wear comfortable shoes :-)
We gonna have to do more than protest.
Probably, but I think of all the protests during the Viet Nam war. It took a while and a lot of protesting; but they grew and grew, until finally, things got done.

Theyre all outrage pimps.
Maybe that is a new tee shirt....
Don't be an outrage
Pimp.
Thank you Steve!
Yep, I like that one too.
I was in the middle of writing my own scathing indictment of Dolan. Fuming. I was surprised he wasn't struck by lightning on the Fox set
These awful, hateful, Christians, who are NOT Christians, come in all sizes, shapes and clothes. Bleck!!!!
Whenever Dolan speaks I am reminded of the shortest bit in the Bible: Jesus wept.
Dolan has no shame; how big a donation he did secure for the church or himself to say this? 🤮
Beautiful.
If anything, Kirk's murder doesn't change the facts, that both tRUMP & Kirk are total fascist, racist and bigoted POS.....along with Bondi, Shady, Patel and that nazi prick, Steven "Joseph Goebbels Jr." Miller....along with the rest of the GOP scumbags.

Our taxpayer dollars at work!
Dolan is the Father Couglin of our time.
