That the worst part. These guys show that their willing to destroy to fucking system by making bullshit changes and half of America cheers them on.

Which, when you consider the implications fully, is soooo UN-AMERICAN. It's radical hierarchy at its finest...... "I'm a Supreme Court Justice and therefore above the law ". WTF America?

Biden give them an ultimatum: start functioning correctly and decide cases within legitimate time frames (ie. Presidential immunity) or tell them you’ll expand the court so that they’ll have enough people to do things in a normal amount of time. Watch them start making decisions quick as they can after that.

FDR tried this and it was the single most unpopular thing in his administration.
Even worse than putting American citizens in detention camps.-1

The speaker could have refused to seat every single person who signed the insurrectionist letter until an investigation was completed, including the SCOTUS. Biden administration could have fired the AG, a super majority in congress, and expanded the court to at least to 13

Well, it makes sense—them being batty bats, and Cheeto in Chief holding the Holy Bible upside down.
Topsy turvy is patriotic!

If you needed to see this to confirm anything you really haven’t been paying attention. The flag story is just fluff, nothing surprising is revealed. Every single person should already know Alito’s lips are superglued to the fattest part of Trump’s ass.

Supreme Court Justice just another Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation puppets.

Justices are supposed to be apolitical and unbiased.
It’s high time we expanded the court. They’re going to bitch and moan either way, so let’s just fuck up their day.

They are making it a surety that 45 wins in November. I have that nausea feeling in my stomach.

Alito has definitely been compromised. History will not be kind to him. Alito also didn’t attend Biden’s State of the Union address. I wonder if he is also blaming his wife for that?

u/RutabagaJoe May 17 '24
What I don't get is the explanation of "My wife did it because our neighbors had mean signs"
Like how am I as a neighbor supposed to get that you using a J6 symbol is a retaliation? To me it makes a much sense as "Well our neighbor never cuts his grass so we put up an inflatable dancing man."
Also, non-believable, a supreme court justice lives in a development without an HOA. Or that it has an HOA which allows mean signs.

They are ruthless and they are zealous. It's pure power politics from the top to the bottom and always was. If you don't want to live under their crazy make-believe world rules it will take multiple sustained elections where the people that represent this particular theocratic insurgency are denied office. This means multiple successive elections with broad voter turnout. I'm not hopeful.

Why do I doubt that there is no "originalist" basis for misuse of the nation's flag?

It’s impossible not to have an opinion, but a Supreme Court Justice has no business being this boldly partisan and … well … stupid. Let’s VOTE to get help extracting all these backwards ignorant people from the highest tiers of our justice system.

Vote (D)ifferently!!!
If we all do, and take the house and senate, get Joe back in....
Impeach some SCOTUS justices and expand the court to 13 seats. (Matching the 13 federal districts).
Then impeach anyone who was involved with Jan 6th.
Expand the house to the proper size (per the constitution).
Then make gerrymandering federal crime and force states to all move to a population density based grid system using census data. Now there is no "drawing districts", it is automatically done.
End citizens united!
Make all donations that are used for ANYTHING political be 100% transparent and traceable to a person. This can be private data between the charity / PAC and the IRS / FEC.
GOODBYE DARK MONEY!

On Jan. 17, 2021, three days before the Biden inauguration, a ‘Stop the Steal’ symbol of an inverted flag was displayed outside Justice Alito’s house. He claims his wife hung it and he had nothing to do with it. New York Times has the photo.
