It means the justices issued it without making it public which justice voted which way, and also didn’t write out a justification for their ruling. No hearings before the Court, either, they’re issuing a ruling without hearing any arguments. They’re only supposed to do shadow docket rulings like that on cases that are a pressing matter that warrant a rapid response, but the Roberts court abuses the hell out of the privilege.

Bovronius Apr 6, 2026 +72
I can't imagine having worked on SNL since 2016... slowly watching reality become too insane to even create satrical takes on. Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer was barely an exaggeration on his character, now James Austin's Trump character is too coherant to be taken as the real thing, and Kegsbreath is douchier than Colin could ever pretend to be.

It's time for Congress to defund the supreme Court. They can work for free on the sidewalk with no staff if they are going to make Shadow docket rulings like this.

Republicans in Congress aren't doing their own f****** jobs. They have no room to start telling other branches how to do theirs. Citizens, assuming free and fair elections, need to vote all these folks out and vote in candidates willing to overhaul the system.

JohnBrownOH Apr 6, 2026 +70
It means that laws are only loose guidelines and when the rich abuse them like this, it renders them moot. Then it's up to the citizens to enforce justice and balance.

ZachMN Apr 6, 2026 +20
It means that there is no Constitutional protection against a political party obtaining power over all three branches of government and then using that power to ignore and/or destroy said Constitution.
20
sargonas Apr 6, 2026 +19
It means no justices signed the order, so no one knows who voted which what or their full personal opinions on the matter. It also means this rule cannot be used in other cases as a form of precedent, and is a one time ruling for this one issue
19
FinaLLancer Apr 6, 2026 +69
Does this make any difference?

Correct_Inspection25 Apr 6, 2026 +90
I believe it means this judgement cannot be used for establishing precedence by the lower courts.
90
AudibleNod Apr 6, 2026 +49
Which strengthens the Supreme Court's own position because lower courts will inevitably have guess. This gives appeals a greater chance to move forward. Which in turn drives more and more cases to be decided by SCOTUS. Which leaves them a greater opportunity to write and rewrite case law as they please.
49
CrashB111 Apr 6, 2026 +44
It just means they are too big of cowards to make it a public decision with who voted for what. Because they know it's wrong and bullshit, so they don't want to attach their names to it.

Funny, “the next Democratic president.” Beyond the catastrophic failures happening in Iran, regardless of the US army generals own disapproval, the changing of brass isn’t coincidental. People with integrity are being replaced. Loyalists are being installed. A military coup will be in the cards, if the midterms don’t result in a red victory. And to be honest, beyond the SAVE Act, I don’t trust that the elections will be fair to begin with. Oh how far this country has fallen.

Yeah, but we can’t understate how serious this is. This isn’t “Republicans being Republicans”. It’s a coup. Stripping power from every other political party is a coup. It’s not a laughing matter.

I second this. As someone who reads history books, which Americans seemingly do not. Specifically about the Nazi rise to power. But really, we can literally see this in recent times in other countries. Xi Jinping did this towards the end of his presidency. Now he is basically president for life. Consolidate power, oust those who are not loyal. It's simple really. Who will oppose you when the military is on your side and most of the government is on your payroll?

I think they are operating under the very obvious knowledge that Trump can't be trusted. Even to pardon their own. He's a vindictive c***, and the slight only has to be imagined to earn his ire. They want avenues to protect their operatives without having to rely on Trump's mood.

ChiralWolf Apr 6, 2026 +206
That is not what's being said here to be clear. Trump's DOJ is refusing to continue the prosecution against Bannon and is pushing for the charges to be dismissed. If the DOJ corruptly refuses to prosecute someone there isn't much that SCOTUS can do. This isn't saying that Congress can't hold people in contempt, it's saying that a corrupt DOJ can refuse to prosecute pretty much anything it doesn't want to.
206
LiquidAether Apr 6, 2026 +80
Which is so much worse, honestly.
80
HoozleDoozle Apr 6, 2026 +57
Not really. The DOJ always had the discretion to drop cases. Congress still holds inherent contempt power and can bypass the DOJ and the courts whenever it wants.
57
ChiralWolf Apr 6, 2026 +43
Yup, they just need to assign a special prosecutor for it. This certainly isn't good but I also don't think it's reaching the doom and gloom people are making of it, it's just regular bad (which is still not ok!)
43
HoozleDoozle Apr 6, 2026 +20
Yeah it's bad as a matter of policy but correct as a matter of law. This was 100% the correct decision by SCOTUS. Congress just needs to nut up next time.
20
AntiKamniaChemicalCo Apr 6, 2026 +22
Ok but this actually still means congress has no power to impose contempt charges if the white house is willing to corrupt the DOJ. Apparently there is no longer any such thing as actual independent special prosecutors.
22
TheCrazedTank Apr 6, 2026 +8

I sincerely wish the Pope just declared the Evangelicals as heretics. Genuinely Muslims have more in common with actual Christians, than what you got with Evangelicals and those adjacent to anything close to Catholics, it's like looking at aliens from another world. Prosperity gospel bs and asking for ever amounts of money, self serving pastors and nothing to do with doing good things.
11
C1izard Apr 6, 2026 +3
Well the modern American evangelical movement. Some the past evangelical movements were genuinely good (like the evangelicals who were the main drivers for emancipation, and many others are problematic in hindsight but also did good things and had good intentions). The modern American evangelical movement are just Neo-Pharases who push for every thing Jesus opposed, and at worst are full on doomsday cultists

aaronhayes26 Apr 6, 2026 +46
It’s worth mentioning that the branches were ***not*** intended to be coequal. Article 1 establishes the Congress - not the executive. The founders would be horrified with how much power has accumulated in the White House.
46
Shoot_from_the_Quip Apr 6, 2026 +16
Exactly. Congress is literally the top of the government. Everything else was added later. That they have willingly given up essentially all power like this is horrifying.
16
WaffleBlues Apr 6, 2026 +92
It's not that simple. Congress could assert much more power, but has \*chosen\* not to. This is the key insight - that it chose to give up its own powers. The founders seemed to envision a congress that was "jealous of" and would "protect" its own powers. What the founders didn't seem to envision was a congressional majority that was \*far\* more concerned with showing loyalty to the president in order to be reelected, than to protect its own powers. Johnson isn't the first to do this, but it's so extreme under Johnson. Congress isn't concerned with protecting its own powers, it is concerned with showing loyalty to Trump in order to get endorsements and superpac money.
92
ILoveLamp9 Apr 6, 2026 +15
This exactly. The decision isn’t saying Congress doesn’t have power. It’s just saying the SC can’t rule on the dismissal chosen by this DOJ. So much of what is going on now that flies in the face of our democracy is happening because Republicans in Congress are remaining silent to show loyalty to their king.

I'm honestly surprised they haven't turned on him yet. He's peeled back the mask that they have hidden under all these years/decades and revealing it to the public in real time. Eventually, this could seriously threaten the cushy life/benefits they have come to enjoy, if at the very least make it harder to obtain. I'm surprised they haven't just impeached him and thrown him under the bus as a collective, put him away if for nothing else than to satisfy the people so they can go on stealing from them in quiet again.

Because that's not what's happening here. Congress by statute farmed out contempt to the DOJ for convenience. The DOJ ALWAYS had the discretion to drop cases. If Bannon was held in ***inherent contempt*** the SCOTUS can't do anything about it. (See: Jurney v. MacCracken)

people aren't understanding well what is happening here. Trump's DOJ is doing this, SCOTUS is not stopping it (and, honestly, I wouldn't expect them to). I think you highlighted the disconnect - Congress doesn't prosecute the contempt.

BigJellyfish1906 Apr 6, 2026 +14
Because that’s not what’s happening *at all*. There saying “if the DOJ wants to drop a case, the judiciary can’t stop them.” The issue here is the DOJ, not the power of the judge.

Just a complete farce of a system where the rich are untouchable and the rest are slaves to be fed to the beast.    Hurry up and collapse already. Your idiocy is spreading to many other parts of the world and corrupting them.   Richest country in the history of the planet and it is completely corrupted for the ultra rich.

SCOTUS returned this case because the prosecution pulled it. There really wasn't an option for SCOTUS. This is Trump helping his buddies in a way that follows the law. For this particular case, the spin is to make SCOTUS look bad rather than the real perpetrator, Trump.

As soon as Dems take Congress, they need to label this admin as a domestic terrorist and use that to remove all judges that the domestic terrorist placed on the SC. Both terms. Then all the judges he placed throughout the country. I know it won't happen, cause they don't have a back bone, but it should happen like that.

They wouldn’t have the power to do that. Possibly only if they gained a supermajority in both chambers which is essentially impossible

Remember when Bannon said that if they lose the midterm elections, he is **GOING TO JAIL**‽ He needs to be locked the f*** up. Just like the rest of 'em. Also, put those traitorous J6 SHITBAGS back in jail. For the FIRST time in history, those assholes entered OUR nation's Capitol with their f****** disgusting confederate flag. They also left their *actual shit* on everything like goddamned troglodyte apes. They literally shat upon our country.

Congress still has inherent contempt powers. Bannon was not charged under those powers. If he was, congress bypasses the courts and the DOJ. The DOJ has always been allowed to drop cases. This is the correct ruling.

He’s gonna f****** sue and the Govt will settle for MILLIONS of OUR TAX dollars going to….Steve F****** Bannon. We already gave Flynn $1.5M also the J6 guys are suing for over $20M. We are being robbed left right and center by the absolute dumbest people alive and we are just letting it happen.

This POS was all about how he wasn’t on the inside of Washington power brokers and he wanted to f*** shit up and of course it all comes out he was hanging with Epstein and Gates and Clinton and worse then them combined. MAGA crowd is so stupid and easy to con, now we know who use to buy all the snake oil from the traveling snake oil salesman.

People are getting the wrong conclusions from this. The case isn't being decided on the merits of Bannon's argument and it's not setting any kind of precedent. It's being dismissed because it's on appeal and one of the sides (Trump's DOJ) is choosing to no longer pursue it. There's no case if the prosecutors don't want to prosecute, so SCOTUS is saying there's nothing to do and handed the decision to the side that's still bothering to justify itself.

tl;dr: DOJ under Biden led the prosecution of Bannon for contempt of Congress. He served 4 months. New DOJ under Trump wants to abandon / dismiss the case, but it can't do so without the court's permission. SCOTUS gave that permission and sent the final decision authority back to DC Circuit.

Taxpayers, get ready to write a big fat check to Steve Bannon. He was rightfully convicted in court with due process, and the Appeal Court upheld the ruling. The SC just did a huge favor to a Trump ally. They bend out of shape to curtail favors to Trump, time and time again.
