It’s past time to hold scotus accountable and the rest of all elected officials! As the old country saying goes, the mule is out of the barn ! Now is time to catch it

I know what to do about the mule -- what do we do about all the weasels?

Socrates asked Thrasymachus "What is justice?" T-mach replied: "Whatever the tough guys say it is." Soc then proceeded (in The Republic) to yank down T's shorts, exposing the pinkest blush in all of literature. Time to yank again! ~eric. MeridaGOround.com

Awesomeness. Socrates also debated whether stupid and uninformed men should be allowed to vote, given their susceptibility to manipulation, as if he saw MAGA in his tea leaves.

Last night, for the first time, I accessed "The Scheme 30: An update on the captured Supreme Court." VERY impressed with Sen. Whitehouse's dogged pursuit of accountability from SCROTUS. I contributed to his campaign immediately afterward.

Excellent article, Democrats need to start focusing all our attention on winning the Whitehouse and Congress, to neutralize this threat that is obsessed with destroying democracy & coming from Christofascists, billionaire oligarchs, that is amplified by Russia. (Biden has an excellent VP should he become incapacitated.)We have to ignore the distractions and focus on character issues and saving democracy from devolving into theocratic kleptocracy.

The nature of avarice and fundamentalist indoctrination is such that zealots tend to be oblivious to their own pathology, not unlike victims of substance addiction. This situation, along with overt corruption, is obviously at work in our Supreme Court, and have become features of the Trump Republican party. We must put an end to this corruption of the rule of law and injection of radical beliefs into the mainstream, that is augmented by foreign amplification, by wresting power from a right wing that is spiraling out of control into the depths of fascism. Vote for Democrats and absolutely refuse to vote for any of the numerous politicians involved with the 1/6 insurrection and refusing to peacefully transfer power.

This is what you get when you unwisely assign positions of high power to people for life ! They are allowed to become old and disfuctional or as in this case become arrogant and self serving ! Serioously reorganize this group of (not all, but mostly) spoiled and unconcontrolled immature children, including baby Johnny R ! ONCE A MAN, TWICE A CHILD !

I'm so sad that Ketanji Brown Jackson got thrown into this den of iniquity...

I was also, initially. That was until I read about one of her first accomplishments being to secure a book deal for a couple of hundred thousand dollars!

Is this Vincent Bugliosi writing? No - it's Sabrina Haake! And we're lucky to have her. Damn lucky. How seldom we find a tenacious and talented teacher to all - expert in the riddledom of law - with a heart as open and decent as Sabrina's. Thank you for being here, for being you, for sharing with us your immeasurably relevant expertise.

because biden still has six months to go, he could utilize immunity, and do all kinds of nefarious things to actors, he deems a threat to the nation,, including a Lawless court

But how can we do it? Any ideas? It definitely needs to be done.

Can't we have Biden take advantage of some of these Presidential powers right now???

I feel like I'm missing something here. This is the last sentence, "Perhaps deciding that a president can order SEAL team 6 to assassinate threats to the nation was the wrong call." What does that have to do with Biden...

Wow, I've been looking for possible remedies to this extra-legal set of Justices. You've given me hope. Now to dominate on November 5th; the rest may follow.

Our undoing is allowing ourselves to continuously be "surprised" by and then correcting the inconsistencies and contradictions and hypocrisy of the Right. The Right has but one guiding principle -- which, with apologies to all, I here, appropriately, borrow from the creature Gollum -- "It's my birthday and I wants it!"
