There’s a standard? I thought they just say whatever they want at this point.
“I LIKE BEER” - someone with a seat on the highest court in the land
That should not be what we’re making fun of them for
no I couldn’t have sexually assaulted anyone because I have calendars
it’s just the DEMONRATS and Clinton’s trying to make me look bad
Amazed/saddened neither of those disqualified him
I’ve stopped being amazed. Americans are stupid and will elect that asshole again. There is no hope for this country.
There is. It’s about as meaningful as the Munich Agreement.
But what can we do about it? Short of violence, these justices will continue to ruin Democracy until they die or retire.
Prevent a GOP POTUS from getting into office so that we can slowly chip away at their power. If Alito or Thomas get replaced by a GOP appointee, we are doomed for that much longer
This assumes there’s not a GOP senate who won’t confirm any nominee from a Democratic president
Just gotta keep the Senate too then!
If you allow Alito and Thomas to help Trump facilitate a Fourth Reich, as they both appear wont to do, you and the entire judiciary will be rendered powerless in a matter of months. Enablers only think they’ll be able to control their dictators once in power, as the financiers surrounding every criminal despot throughout history have mistakenly believed. You will rubber-stamp what Trump and his corporate backers want, but inevitably their desires will diverge from your own. At that point, you will have no recourse because there will be no laws except for paper platitudes that serve the dictator’s interests. Query what role for the judiciary will remain thereafter.
I just finished reading an excellent book, Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power, which is about the last six months before Adolf became chancellor. Alfred Hugenberg had a media empire and thought he could steer Hitler’s chancellorship and helped bring Hitler to power. He was out after one term or whatever the measurement of the cabinet was.
People know the saying that those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. An addendum I saw somewhere is that those who know history are doomed to know that it’s repeating. It sucks a lot.
I’m always suprised they don’t realize they would be some of the first on the chopping block if Trump becomes a dictator, and by chopping block I’m mean actually being executed. Why would Trump need a Supreme Court when he is the Supreme leader?
Conservatives are cancer.
Does the chief justice really matter if the other 5 are united?
I feel that modern day politics are proof the CIA didn’t assassinate JFK.
Held to standards? Who keeps them accountable?
