It’s interesting that these manly men blame their wives as a first response. Does anyone actually believe this? The flag was flown cuz of his wife? And he never saw it? And it was in response to some mean sign a neighbor had? Cmon. Guess what, I’ve seen plenty of mean signs about our current president. A woman used to drop her kids off at a local elementary school with two gigantic flags on her car, “let’s go Brandon” and “I could **** a better president.” Did I respond by flying a communist flag? Nazi flag? Confederate flag? The American flag upside down as a particularly insidious meaning for a Supreme Court justice to fly.
It’s also interesting to me that Alito and Thomas give their wives decision making power for far right politics but love to take away the decision making power of women when it’s related to health care.
Anyone else see what the Supreme Court for what it truly is? A massive legislating arm of the GOP and billionaires. Republicans can grind the gears of actual legislation in the legislative branch to a halt. Then campaign on how DC is “broken.” Angry and embittered voters then elect them. Once elected, they go about obstructing the legislative branch while nominating and confirming hack judges. Hack judges make everyone’s lives worse with their partisan rulings. Which then fuels the GOP’s campaigning about the cynicism and brokenness of Washington DC. It’s a vicious cycle.
Maybe it’s time to change the court?
1. Time for real ethics reform and real accountability. Judges shouldn’t be receiving bribes. Judges shouldn’t be flying treason flags. Nor should their spouses be engaged in coups. Want the job? Time to be above politics.
2. Term limits. You get one 6 year or 10 year term (I don’t care what the term length is). After that, get your *** off the bench.
3. We know how every case is going to be decided because we know that partisan makeup of the court. Why not expand the court to something like 21 and assign random justices to each case? That way there’s a pool of justices to draw from and a random select of 9 will hear your case.
4. Frankly, I’m tired of the games behind the Supreme Court. Why not just enact a law that each president regardless of political party gets two per term?
The Supreme Court is nothing more than a hack job. Everyone here should be horrified at what it’s become. These guys aren’t even pretending anymore. Alito and Thomas just DGAF.
To my friends on the right, what you’re doing right now can certainly be done by the left. Alito and Thomas aren’t spring chickens. It would be ironic if Biden’s reelection this fall leads to the court swinging 6-3 for liberals by him replacing those two jerks with two very young and liberal justices (which I still believe the Supreme Court should be reformed).
Elections can have consequences!
