Today is the last working day of the Supreme Court for the year 2020.
In a year of many unprecedented events, the Supreme Court has laid down many precedents, in more than one sense of the term.
My list of the notables, but not necessarily in order of notability, is here👇
26. Rhea Chakraborty v. State of Bihar. Also notable because it was a single judge hearing a transfer petition.
It's the last day of Supreme Court for the year and the benches are rising one by one. It's time for a recap of the noteworthy judgments and orders of the Supreme Court in 2019#thread#SupremeCourt

The Supreme Court shuts for the winter vacation and will be back only in 2019. Which means its time for a thread of the important judgments of 2018. And there have been a few. Let me know if I miss out any

So I'm doing a thread on the important decisions of the Supreme Court of India in 2017. If I miss out any, let me know.

More from Court
The stuff I've heard in the last 72 hours\u2014from members of Congress, law enforcement friends, gun shop owners, MAGA devotees\u2014is absolutely chilling.

We need to brace for a wave of violence in this country. Not just over the next couple of weeks, but over the next couple of years.
The coming Trumpist events on Jan 17 and Jan 20 will probably be much smaller in scale, especially in DC. The MAGA crew can't buy another flight and take more days off work so soon after Jan 6.
Some of the Trumpist forums are actively suspicious of these events, claiming they're FBI or Antifa traps. A lot of people at TDW felt that the *design* of this flyer was too lefty to be real!

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean everything will be OK. The statehouse events on Jan 17 have the potential to turn violent, where a few hundred people could be enough to overwhelm local authorities.
MAGA anger at a lot of the GOP is high, as well as against Dems. Even red states could see problems, so I hope authorities are prepared.
What\u2019s your level of optimism on this election going to the Supreme Court

We as a people have been defanged not only by being fed wheelbarrows full of raw unmitigated horseshit, but even the knowledge of where to go to find this information has been buried beneath obscuring layers of horseshit thicker than the planet's crust.
We do not live in a democracy, whose vital functions require a freeflow of information much like pure capitalism requires a completely informed consumer populace. We instead live in an oligopoly of knowledge, where important facts we need to know are denied to us and hoarded away
Much like how we do not live under true capitalism as knowledge we need to make informed decisions as consumers is locked away and hidden behind thicc layers of legal documents, denying us knowledge of our rights under the rules of commerce we allegedly agreed to.
This is how we are denied our rights. By denying us knowledge of our rights, and then by denying us pathways to seek said knowledge, and if not removing them then hiding them within websites hosted on fucking geocities servers and javascript written by lowest bidder.
