Full stop. This country will be forever ruined until we get rid of these compromised and corrupt justices. There is no other way to deal with the corruption that is being loosed on the people of this country, and totally contrary to the intentions of the founding fathers.
My personal hero, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and the folks on Legal AF today spell it out perfectly. THIS is where we need to start protesting in the streets by the millions. If we don't, we will never be able to right this ship that is now going down.

(35,358 posts)he was a big firm attorney in DC before tapped for the court (I know, I worked at the same law firm - although I don't recall meeting him). It's not out of the realm of possibility given his age, income level at that time, and location of where he worked.
I've also seen the suggestion that members of the Court could have been threatened by Trump, which could also be a possibility.

I agree -- the next nationwide protest and every protest after that should be about the 6.

Yes some of these rat bastards are on the Epstein list.

(2,572 posts)The gop may have put the pieces in place over the last 20yrs but scotus is the one who gave the green light to all the illegal and unconstitutional acts we are witnessing now.
DJT should have never been given immunity... and what makes the immunity ruling even more disturbing (imo) is that scotus had access to all of DJTs background. A second-by-second account of his actions on J6 and the previous 2 decades w/ JE... if they wanted it.

(19,211 posts)congress has no power to impeach them, then they will declare power to impeach the 3 other justices....isn't that the way this works now? Right wingers just declare that they can do whatever they please and then they do....

(4,809 posts)And shutting down the country, lets just go for it all and put end to the whole thing. All of it. Have a real workers revolution.
But this is not going to happen anytime soon. People are still way too comfortable. Hell, most people have no idea any of this is happening.
These justices are not going to be impeached. Neither is Piss nor any of the cabinet. For the same reason noted above.
Were stuck with this for at least three more years and quite possibly much longer.
