The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on Jan. 6 and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government.
My name is ____, I live in ____, and I want the Senator to remove Justice Alito because his discriminatory flags make it clear that it isn’t possible for many Americans to get a fair hearing from him.
Like every Senator, he’s tuned in to what his constituents are telling him. Having a bunch of people be pissed about this won’t get him to vote the right way, but it might get him to tune down his hate a little bit.
He’s ’Christian’. The people in power want more of this kind of thing, not less. The fact that they can pay him to rule in their favor whenever is just icing on the cake.
Some of them do want it, but the bulk of Democratic Senators do not. Public pressure can get them to do what they’re thinking about, but hesitant to do.
I don’t realistically expect them to remove him from office (that would take a 2/3 majority), but do expect things like censure votes, and more openness to expanding the court.

His constituents are the oligarchs that run the country, fund his campaign, and brainwash the voters.
He doesn’t care about calls from normal people, because he does not represent normal people
He still depends on normal people to vote for him every six years.
Whose perspectives are shaped through the propaganda paid for by the oligarchs

Why is why you tell people about what’s going on — you’ve got incredible power to influence the views of people you know.
