The Supreme Court should be absolutely ashamed of themselves and need to held accountable.
100%
They could be because, as Stephen just said, "Seal Team Six works for Joe Biden."
*subprime court
You're a joke. Be realistic
Why did it take so long to charge Trump to begin with? We know what the Supreme Court is doing, but why did it take the DOJ etc. so long to bring charges against him? It's been a giant shitshow from the start.
It's truly crazy that in America, the highest court has the lowest ethical standards.
Underrated comment
The true opportunaty missed was in the hypothetical put forward, it should have read '... in the case of the President ordering Seal-6 to kill a Supreme Court Judge.....
They've entirely less than none to speak of...
Blatantly aiding and abetting isn't a standard in my book.
At least it was kinda funny to watch Brett Kavanaugh lie under oath to become a supreme court justice
Exactly. The least among us rule. We need to change it.
I thought we were taught in public school how great our system of government was with checks and balances. I had pride in in our country. It turns out it is only as good as the people in office. Really disheartening.
With you on that

Any judicial system where the incumbents are appointed for life with almost zero oversight is insane.

Well, to be fair, back when the framers were working, lifetime appointments didn't last so long...
@@themusicbook8679Okay, so if they're already incumbents, then they already hold the office, so how can they be appointed while they already hold the office?
The Supreme Court has no issue overuling the wishes of millions on US citizens on roe v wade. But will cower to one man.
This ---^ ^---This A thousand times this!!! The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one, or the nine!!! Hasn't SCOTUS ever watched Star Trek??? I guess they're too dim witted to get the reference. Their only skill is taking bribes... Oath breakers and criminals all of them.
That's because they're controlled by Republican Millioners/Billionaire.
God bless America…
Fuch the right
they don't cower, Trump is the ideal puppet to help them make all their insane policies into law.
I wish he would talk more about how extreme the court has become. They’re going to declare the nlrb null and void and destroy what the unions have left. It’s horrifying, and not getting enough attention.
Someone ask SCOTUS: Does a U.S. President have the power to execute a SC Justice with impunity?
Gorgeous Comment ❤😊
Ain't it great that an egg in a Petrie dish is considered a child in Alabama, but a child cowering in a corner in a classroom is considered an inconvenience to the GOP and NRA?
PREACH that TRUTH
Well said!
Well spoken, well said. May I use this excellent observation? m
Sure as hell is America.
It's whatever benefits their position.
PLEASE everyone look up Article III of the US Constitution. It clearly states that Justices shall retain their offices "under good behavior" which is, yes, a *potential* life term. But this is not automatic and is dependent upon things like *not committing crimes.* Traditionally it has been a life term. But up until the last 25 years we didn't have a Court that redefined amendments, appointed presidents, vetoed laws, wrote new laws, or took bribes. They also didn't commit felony perjury during the job interview.
Get rid of CT
Hopefully they'll do the jobs, and uphold the constitution.How can one believe justice ⚖ is blind?
13 districts 13 judges. Make it so. Executive Order. Or lose democracy to a bunch of black robed fascists.
The problem is the only mechanism for removing them would be impeachment, which is a purely political process. There is no magical perfect system.
It seems as if 45 has lowered the 'good behavior' bar to 'just don't get caught', but fight like h3ll if you do. Where is our present day Teddy Roosevelt?
As they say, justice delayed is justice denied. C’mon people, rise up and tell your story. This is beyond the pale and unacceptable.
No crimes committed. Just another witch-hunt as usual.

@@silentmajority8365 klan, confederate Putin puppet
I didn't think anything about this SC carp could make me laugh, but when Stephen said the proceedings have been frozen long enough to legally be children in Alabama, I howled.
The fact they even took this case is utterly ridiculous. The district court ruling was unanimous and extremely damning - there was no controversy that merits a Supreme Court involvement. If they wanted to have a say, they knew this was going to eventually come to them - they should’ve fucking accepted jack smiths request. The complete disregard they have for giving voters accurate info on trumps legal activities is disgusting
wouldn't be this country if it WEREN'T ridiculous.
Fire the SC. What do we need the corrupt SC for if they are not worthy of trust?
It is the continuance of the Jan 6th coup. It is no coincidence that only the Trump-aligned conservative religious zealot judges agreed to review the appeal. It is the watchtower death cult that has been set loose after Comey was sacked by the clown. Trump purposefully ruined the FBI chain of command so as to take the heat of the evangelist sects that threatened this exact scenario. David Karesh was just one nutball and look at the carnage he created. Now the same ilk has paramilitary groups and SCOTUS in their pocket commanded by the messaging of people like Trump, sycophant Marge and Gym Jordan. Funded by toxic companies like Koch ( who actually got caught trying to create a coup in Venezuela but apparently that's just normal, so much so that Bolton joked about its regularity).
This has been in the pipeline for decades but Americans have been blinded by all the bells and whistles of unfettered, neo-liberal capitalism and completely ignored the dangers of allowing such strong legal protections for corporate cronyism whilst singing the claim that America is the best country in the world. It has always been exactly what Carling said-'The American dream is exactly that because the US has yet to wake up.' Well, now that dream has become a real nightmare.
This was the plan all along, including delaying until the election. All the criminal charges against the orangetang will be dismissed by the sham of a Supreme Court. The civil trials are the only ones that will stick.
It's politics and ego. They will likely also smack it down quite forcefully, but since it involves the Presidency, they want to have the final say.
Drumpf went from "There was no crime" to "I'm innocent of the crime" to "I should be immune from punishment of the crime." That's a long setup to say, "It's me. Hi! I'm the problem, it's me!"

@@Balletifiedperfect. No notes.
Might I remind everyone the DEFINITION of rule of law when it comes to the United States, “Rule of law is a principle under which all persons, institutions, and entities are accountable to laws that are: Publicly promulgated. Equally enforced. Independently adjudicated. And consistent with international human rights principles.” If a president has immunity, our very laws fall apart around us. Also the last guy to kill off his political opponents was Stalin, and that should tell you everything you need to know about Trump.
Putin is doing that..

You have my support for ignoring this iteration of the Supreme Court.
We should ignore all the rulings come out of this supreme court until it is replaced , and rules are set for them to follow the law and the constitution instead of their political beliefs. And violation penalties.
Liberals suddenly believe in the Constitution they loved to amend because it was written by white straight male slave owners? Reversing Roe Vs Wade and giving it back to the State IS constitutional.
Does this mean you’ll keep gr00ming?
Nobody cries as loud as the left.
And religious beliefs.
Oh, ok. All of the sudden "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAaaaaaaw!" doesn't apply??!! Clearly, the Hypocrisy on the left is of the abundant.
THE RULE OF LAW HAS FALLEN.
The path is now paved for fascism.
Yep no rule of law says them judges are not needed with a dictator! Having One Asshole leads the rest~!
In this country we would have Road Worriers & Gang Wars... With no spineless dumb ass dictators, they would have to hide!~ In Decay~
What does the Supreme Court do all day? Plan their free vacations and gifts? Time to clean House...term limits!!!
Clarence Thomas counts the hours till he can head out and hangout with his oil baron buddies (they totally like him for his personality, totally not the kickbacks)
Hey! Give them a break! I'm sure going through all the bribe offers takes up a lot of time each day. You can't expect them to actually do their jobs.
Will that require a Constitutional Amendment? Let's get the Squad to draft one! Then, everybody swamp their Congresscritters with calls and e-mails until they vote for it!
And then, let's get out and vote for it ourselves. They passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments in record time...with our better transportation and communications, we could do that now, if we truly believe in Liberty and Justice for All.
@@lisagulick4144 That would require Congress to actually listen to their constituents. Most would rather listen to the highest bidder than do their job.

APPARENTLY OATHS OF OFFICE DON'T MATTER ANYMORE/ LOOK AT THE TRAITORS IN THE HOUSE AND CONGRESS, REPUGLICON GOVERNORS, ACTUALLY ANY REPUBLICONS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED PUBLIC OFFICE!
hahahahahahaha...........this would be true for any other SC. This one doesnt care and does what it wants.
This SCOTUS only follows the laws their doners tell them to write.
And thats what they are doing
Sorry but THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
Looking at the Alabama ruling alone, it is difficult to tell whether the ruling was made by an America judge or an Iran. The Supreme Court is blatantly ignoring the separation of church and politics.
Shouldn't that be a reason for impeachment of the judge?
of course they are. fascism is their goal and fascists are what they are. we chose fascism in 2016.

@@JulianRivera-mv3kbit's a bit convenient that your job is to uphold the constitution but your job is also to interrupt the constitution...
And well SCOTUS seems to be doing both as well as one upholds the bible.
What ever happened to the 3 branches of government supposedly applying checks and balances to each other? When I think of it, when have the legislative or executive branches really put the reins on the SC?
so, here's the basic idea:
1. the legislature makes the law
2. the executive implements and enforces the law
3. the judiciary interprets the law when there is a conflict (just as one example, if someone is accused of a crime but they say that their actions don't meet the definition of that crime, then the courts will decide whether it does, or if someone claims something is unconstitutional, the courts decide whether that's true)
if the other two branches don't like a judicial decision, the legislature can just write a new law that overrides the judicial decision. for example, imagine there is a case where someone is discriminated at work because they have dyed their hair purple. they go to court and say "my employer isn't allowed to discriminate against me on the basis of my chosen hair color" and the court says, no, hair color isn't a protected class under federal employment law. if Congress thought hair color should be protected under federal employment law, then Congress could amend existing laws to include it.
or, if the issue was a constitutional issue, Congress could amend the constitution to address it.
it's a little more complicated with the executive branch because, given its role as the one that implements and enforces law, it doesn't have a direct answer to laws it disagrees with, but the president does have significant influence over the legislative process and creating policy.
for example, when the court overturned Roe v Wade, Congress could just be like "nah fuck that, we are going to make a law that protects access to reproductive health care" or Congress could even amend the constitution to include reproductive health care if they wanted to. SCOTUS couldn't do anything about that.
(I have a whole rant about how bad Roe was as a legal decision and how everything should have always been framed as a 14th amendment equal protection issue in the first place if anyone is interested)
SCOTUS: Unconscionable.
But by claiming immunity, isn't that admitting he’s guilty?
Bingo..
Yup
@@Nightwatchman53 For normal people, it might seem like that. But if you are a Trump supporter, anything goes.

@@noorna7123you are wrong. We democrats aren't fool enough to favor such things. Case in point, the most gerrymandered states are Republicans while blue states have independent commissions draw electoral districts.
Term limits for SCOTUS!
Mandatory retirement age makes more sense.
You got it right Sir, the Supreme Court has fallen👎
Oh Stephen, this was easily one of your best monologues. . . ever! And yes! I have seen most of them. 💙
The Subprime Court is a disgrace - I wasn't holding my breath on whether they would uphold the constitution and a rational mind, but this is a disaster.
Agreed. It's worse than I thought possible. Chris Hayes laid it out scarily well in his interview w Colbert 😔
So you want the 2nd amendment upheld??
@@feefeemaghee3157 hasn't it? 🤡
@@feefeemaghee3157 You mean the "As part of a well regulated militia" amendment? That'd be nice 👍
@@feefeemaghee3157it is and has been and will be, have fun fam
Absolutely ON FIRE! SCOTUS is unconstitutional. Exactly! On Fire Colbert!
I even applauded 😂😂😂❤❤❤
You have brain damage, seek help.
They're waiting to see what Ginni wants to do!
Spot on
The not so SCOTUS should be charged and indicted on the charge of obstruction of justice.
There needs to be a time limit for SC judges. I would suggest 20 years, but with possibility of re-evaluation at 10 and 15 years. This would go a long way towards prevent the damaged caused by the total corrupt and/or incompetent justices (Alito, Thomas).
02:28 Correction, Seal Team 6 currently works for PRESIDENT Biden. Could we Please call him ‘President Biden’ Every Day? Because he is. 💙⚖️🇺🇸
Colbert just suggested Biden should use seal team 6 to assassinate his political opponent. And the only thing you're worried about is that he called him Joe instead of president. Wow
Watching from Europe in horror about what's happening in the US. Thanks for the real heartfelt rage, Stephen!
The left has gone insane
Same comment from Canada.
Somebody save us...
😢😢😢 totally agree
@@liamlowenthal8476Only we can save ourselves.
All I can say is prepare. Things are going downhill way too fast!
Your “Pan-Flute” is indeed alluring 😂
If the supreme court is just going to be a political stooge, then it's no longer needed. If they're not interested in the law, their services are no longer required. Disolve the supreme court and hand whatever powers they had to the next court down the list. Appointing SCJs should never have been a political decision in the first place.
Supreme court Justices should not have lifetime appointments either.
@@UnashamedCaliforniagirl In Australia, High Court Justices must step down before turning 70. They are appointed by the Governor General (apolitical) on advice from both the Prime Minister and Attorney-General.
Tell that to Mitch McConnell who helped create the current court that's an absolute disgrace; naturally he's stepping down now since all his nefarious plans have been accomplished
USA needs a huge Constitution change, relegating the President to an apolitical Ceremonial role, and giving more power to Congress. Your “elected” President is like a pre-revolutionary Monarch. Far too much power in the hands of one Person. You need a Prime Minister in charge, the leader of the majority party in the House of Representatives. Trump’s damaging antics demonstrate just how unreliable the current system is.
Oh, Uhuu...Bet you didn't feel the same way when Hitlery Clinton was given a pardon by the court in New York by an Obama appointed judge. Can you say Hypocrisy?
We the people should be able to fire SC justices and it should be on the ballot. If it's going to be partisan then let's make it partisan all the way.
Correct-there should never be a lopsided court.
It's truly absurd that these nine people have this much power with no accountability whatsoever.
They can, and some should be, impeached.
@@ODoylero0lzGood luck getting 2/3 of the Senate to convict. Impeachment isn't a realistic option.
@@arthurdent9281 Honest Question: What can we the people Do…?
Our Supreme Court is an embarrassment.
Hahahahaha! A fine monologue, Mr. Colbert. Laughed the entire way. Thanks.
I trust the Supreme Court about as much as I trust big corporations not to be greedy.
💯 Who owns our SCOTUS? Connect the dots, America. They're the same people who hold the majority of the wealth in this country. The same people who own Donald Trump and the rest of the Trumpublican party.
time to stack the court, joe !!
That would serve Republicans since they would not let Obama appoint Merrick Garland to the court. Biden has to push back now and not be the nice guy anymore.
@@sks1258 Sort of. But invoking term limits and holding elections instead of Senate confirmations would be better. Expanding the court would just set a precedent any president could exploit, possibly leading to “too many cooks,” as it were.
@@sks1258 Democrats have needed to stop trying to appear as the nice guy for forever now. I'd absolutely support it if Biden said fuck all and sent seal team 6 out against his political rivals if the supreme court says presidents have immunity. Well not the murder political rivals part but absolutely the malicious compliance part.
I am feeling about SCOTUS the same way I felt about Trump when he was President...
Many of us are
Both Trump and our SCOTUS are owned by the same people. You're not alone.
Shouldn’t it be SCROTUS? Supreme Court Rorting Of The US.
This is why that creepy creep from Kentucky would not allow Obama to appoint his choice for the Supreme Court I was a complete power grab
Well said. I once had more respect for the Supreme Court than the other two branches combined, no longer. Cesspool court.
It may sound like a joke, but Stephen is right. SCOTUS is unconstitutional! Their one job is to interpret the law that benefits the people, not their benefactors. Obviously, that seems to be hard for them to do.
Love Colbert
Or check Ivankas Mom's grave
Love the Alabama line. 😂
I am glad to hear Stephen Colbert's take on the Supreme Court, but yesterday my soul was sick about the SCOTUS, and remains sick over them. Please protest American's, please.
Vote
On it. I don't have a lot of power, and I'm a coward, but wish me the strength to speak up and civilly disobey anyway.
I have hope that the media is getting out these reports of the various problems going on in the US government and the majority understand the consequences of another Trump administration; The US as we know it will be gone.
@@ryarod there are a lot of things you can do without being “disobedient.” Donate, inform, get people registered, volunteer.
Don’t worry, if it was Joe Biden being indicted (like Hunter), Colbert & his lemmings would be as quiet as a church mouse.
The appalling behavior of the Supreme Court is yet a new reason we are shaking in our shoes. Asses on gavel. Disgrace.
It's why WE MUST VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER
💙💙💙
Unbelievable that the highest court in our country has become the laughing matter of America! The respect that the people of our country had, has become trashed by none other then themselves !
@@jetta2134 They have delegitimized themselves by their own behavior and actions.
It's a shameful and deplorable situation.
Thanks for standing up and speaking out🎉❤
We need to appreciate Stephen, his writers and the people like them who will speak out against the travesty that Donald Trump has been. They are taking risks, and not just the risk that the jokes will fall flat.
oh shut up... he's not even close to being funny--that's his job.
Why? Why are you taking life advice from a person paid to mock everything?
A person that has spent their whole life saying HEY LOOK AT ME!
a person whose sexuality would shock you
Truth is more funny than the spin 😎✔️💯🇺🇸💪
So we're just gonna have to wait for Putin to decide Donnie's more trouble alive than not before we see Donnie get what he deserves?
And how!!
