    pack the court

    subpoena them and grill them. Ask Thomas why he didn’t recuse himself from cases involving his rich billionaire buddy. THEN implement impeachment proceedings.

      And do investigations even if they don’t agree to show up. Air the dirty laundry in a six week hearing with witnesses. Subpoena their finances, bring in their patrons. The Supreme Court may questionably be able to just say “no”, but that doesn’t mean that’s the limit of a hearing.

        Exactly. The R’s have shown how this works plenty of times. And more importantly the public has a right to know. So yeah. And you can subpoena the judge, and if he does not want to show his tax returns, subpoena the IRS. The justice can either come and provide context, or we do it for you.

      pack the court

      Biden: Don’t you know who I am Jack? I’m the guy the elderly hired to do absolutely nothing disruptive. I’m literally status quo Joe! Enough of this change malarkey, we’re after dollars, corporate dollars!

        I mean, Joe isn’t known for his ability to spike his income like Pelosi or to just hand the reigns to billionaires and lobbyists like Trump to get favors (like his recent bailout).

        Rather I get the feeling Biden likes to schmooz around operates according to the temperature of the democratic party. Like the problem here is more that he doesn’t seem to really be strategic about the court.

        When the choice is between status quo and a fascist, status quo isn’t so bad.

        If there’s ever a way to undo first-past-the-post, that should be the focus. FPTP requires you to vote strategically to keep the greater evil out, but that frequently means voting for the lesser evil. Get rid of this need to vote strategically and maybe you can have a meaningful choice.

          America will survive the biggest attack on democracy in 240 years and punish the neofascist insurgents. That is an excellent outcome.
