What’s wild is the two worst ones aren’t even the ones Trump put in there.
Give them time
Another reason to vote Biden no matter what: if Trump wins, Alito and Thomas may both retire, paving the way for Trump to nominate two more young Federalist Society hacks to the court. And there's a good chance the Senate will have a GFP majority that would gladly confirm. That would mean Trump appointed judges deciding our future for another 20-25 years or more.
Any moderates or liberals out there thinking you might not vote Biden for some reason or another: is that what you want?
This can't be stressed enough. Unfortunately, the ones who don't understand this probably never will
Why did it take over three years for those news to surface in the national media? It should have been reported at the time.
The way the supreme court is set up is so fucking stupid.
They won't retire with Biden in office, but they are getting old, they could well die. They could retire if Trump wins, but they'll die in their seat before they retire with any chance a sane person takes their place.
What’s wild is that American voters have zero power to remove these corrupt lawmakers from office.
Can't they be forced to recuse themselves or to be kicked out from SCOTUS? Or do supreme court justices have full immunity?
They just get to do whatever the fuck they want to do.
There's supposed to be a code of ethics but they don't like that.
Not more. Just accountability, these fucks have no regard for the will of the people and as a result live in a detached bubble. National popular vote. No bs delegates, gerrymandering, just plain old votes!
Start by standing outside their homes 24/7 and protest, be as loud as possible and never let them sleep until they recuse themselves.
Nobody seem to be willing to do anything at all but to sit at home and complain, until that changes nothing will happen.
Good luck with that. They'll just move to a different house that they don't list anywhere so you can't know where they moved to. Enjoy protesting outside an empty building.
The thing is, they’re in. And noticeably positioning their pieces. It’s going to be an interesting November in the history of corrupted power.
GOP: LMFAO, there’s literally nothing you can do. The SC is a MAGA bribe factory!!
If we let Trump win again and he replaces Thomas, alito and Kagen who are all at retirement age, it’s over for the rest of our lives.
But you know.. Gaza
Louder for the "if Biden doesn't give me everything I want then I'm voting for Trump bc I don't know how government works" crybabies in the back.
It'll be more like 2016 where a small amount of people abstaining in the swing states that don't like either candidate push the needle to trump.
I have been screaming this exact thing for 6 months on r politics. I finally got banned for calling people complete morons for choosing to abstain because "Biden hasen't been strong enough on Gaza"....Like, mother fuckers, you're willing to trade our entire democracy over an issue that Biden is 100% fucked on no matter WHAT he does? PS the mods over there are hyper sensitive 12 year olds.
I totally get the practicality of what you’re saying but none of those people say they’re voting for trump.
They just won’t vote at all.
It’s their right not to vote too and if the consequences are that bad maybe the party should, you know, make some concessions to those people not voting.
Why would any party make concessions to non-voters?
To make them vote. Next
You can’t make anyone vote
And I'm sure MAGA would be great for Gaza, right? How short sighted can they be?
Kagan is 64, she’s not even at social security full retirement age. Not sure why she would step down any time soon.
Lots of people trying to get her to retire right now which is why I included her
In an election year seems like a really dumb time.
With a Democratic supermajority in Congress, we can impeach his ass. Vote blue people, vote vote vote
Given how state's have gerrymandered the hell out of districts, that may never happen again.
There's very little chance that the democrats hold the senate this cycle let alone get a super majority.
Get ready for a few squishy moderates to block you in that case.
You'd need 65 dems, at least
I’ve had crunchwraps more supreme than this corrupt court…
Boom, post of the day. Love it!
I'm sure he's completely unbiased and a legitimate judge
MAGA trash is now festering at every level of our government. Traitors that call themselves patriots, owned by billionaire donors.
Super patriotic Repukes, well done. Lead paint huffing losers.
All republicans are scum for decades of purely partisan politics. They didn’t make these scumbags earn their vote, they were part of The Tribe. They voted for whoever yelled “god and guns!” the loudest. Idiots.
Ah, so this is what that speech the other day about freedom of speech and such declining dangerously. Trying to get out ahead of this which paints him as obviously compromised by the traitor side.
They started complaining about not getting respect a while back. I would love to tell John Roberts to his face that the SCOTUS hasn't been legitimate since Bush v. Gore. They are constantly demonstrating it.
Freedom of speech doesn't guarantee you a position of authority, it just guarantees that the Government won't prosecute you for speaking your mind.
Good to see a SCOTUS justice misunderstanding the first amendment.
Nothing supreme about it except the corruption
Biden needs to pack the court in November. Trump is in decline.
Every single one of us will suffer in the name of religion because of this SCOTUS.
Why is this new news? Why wasn’t this a headline 4 fucking years ago?!? Who buried this info then, and how did it get out now?
Why is this only being discussed now in 2024 if it happened back in 2021? If he flew the flag outside his house, it doesn’t seem like it was being hidden. I’m confused.
Serious people would surely not believe all the stolen election bollocks so that just leaves one option, this guy is using that movement to further his own/some other political goal which is super shady and dishonest even when you disregard the absolute cunts who he appears to be doing it for. How is he not questioned daily about his adherence to a movement that is so clearly based on made up rubbish?
So Trump can officially stop the democratic judge and jury whining because there are obviously no fing boundaries anymore.
Are there grounds for removal/impeachment? Our Supreme Court justices are literally flying upside down flags??
Term limits on Supreme Court and House/Senate.
Those who didn’t vote for Hillary and or didn’t vote. This is our America. Those who hate Bidens stance on Gaza, Trump will crush your gen when he wins. Voters are looking for a perfect presidential candidate. No such thing. The younger gens are bitching about the choices we have. Well batter up butter cup. Who you going to give us?
Next week's feature: Alito and Thomas, maybe Cavenaugh and Barrett will all show up at Trump's trial to glare and intimidate, defame witnesses and the presiding judge's daughter, dressed in identical MAGA uniforms...because, you know..impartial!
He’s blaming his traitor wife. Get ready for Trump and all US Presidents to have absolute immunity for any and all crimes unless impeached first. So the sitting President can execute and replace the opposing party and the President is absolved from murder and a coup because there is no one left to impeach.
The Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation puppets supporters of domestic terrorist and Russian asset trying to fulfill Khrushchevs prediction everyday!
His house looks like a shit hole.
Just the highest court in the land openly touting not following the law definitely not cause for concern.
The court has always had an Alito or two. They haven't had five of them. That is unique.
And on a related side rant...
People keep saying this election is the most consequential yada yada yada. And I guess it kind of is important? But the most consequential election champion, that changed this country for the next 50 years (minimum), was the dipshit result in 2016. THAT was the election that took this idiot parade and strapped it to a rocket of stupidity. A lot of people didn't know it at the time, but 2016 was it. We allowed an idiot in the White House for 4 years. An idiot so self-absorbed he called election interference WHEN HE WON the damn election, because he didn't believe he won by enough.
The damage is done. Denying the truth is celebrated by a good percentage of the country, the court is full of people who have no interest in anything but their agenda and we spent six months arguing about a rounding error aid package to Ukraine which allowed Russia to take the offensive.
2016 fucked us hard, and I will probably be dead before the damage is even partially undone. I can see why people didn't like Hillary. She had 30 years of baggage to contend with, but god damn it man, I am seeing the same bullshit with people talking about not voting for Biden or staying home. The Middle East has been fighting since the Bible, and they will be fighting when climate change swallows us whole. Find another hill to die on. And these people are my friends. I love them. But please.
Or enjoy your police state.
The not-so-supreme court has been right winger since like forever. The easy tell was Bush V Gore where they overruled the Florida Supreme Court and allowed thousands of votes to be thrown out so Bush could win. But it goes back much further than that.
Bunch of cucks.
The call is definitely coming from inside the house
Absolutely not partisan hacks
Once upon a time people would literally throw corrupt officials out of office and out of town
Maybe as a society we have become too polite
Not So Supreme Court.
Alito and Thomas have lifetime appointment and near certainty of never getting 67 Senate votes for their removal. Too bad they use that to troll with impunity. I wish they took their roles more seriously.
Dem need WH senate & house in 2025. Clarance & this asshole can be impeached & removed from the court.
How many more signs do we need before politicians do something about him?
What is it that makes this a "stop the steal" flag? Is there lettering on the flag or something? Genuinely asking, not trying to assert that this is false.
The stop the steal people used it as a symbol. It is historically a distress symbol.
The symbol adopted by the Stop the Steal movement was the reversed American flag.
This article/pic seems fake. A strict constitutionalist would not do this (edit: /sarcasm). Nonetheless, F Scalito.
Edit - see my response. Alito admitted the picture is true.
According to the NYT, at least half a dozen neighbors have confirmed this. At least one said it was upside down "for several days."
Holy crap. I stand corrected. Alito-hole responded publicly stating he had no involvement, but he acknowledged his wife raised the upside down flag. This is Clarence Thomas-level asshattery.
Both need to step down if they have any moral compass and a true allegiance to our nation. Additionally, the Supreme Court must adopt a public facing code of ethics. The other justices must make a formal public stand.
In my job I am bound by ethics. The ethics include actions by my spouse. If I violate in fact OR APPEARANCE, then I must recuse or be sanctioned.
He's an election denier, just like Clarence Thomas.
More evidence of how corrupted our high court is.
Political activism and financial corruption both, and we really need to examine what the hell we can do about it.
I say expand the court to 13 justices.
