Good that @Morning_Joe opened the show with the appalling story of The Worst Justice (tough competition) displaying the insurrectionist (anarchist) symbol at his house (and blaming it on his wife, blaming it in turn on a neighbor's yard sign). This Court is ruined. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alito-upside-down-flag.html
@jeffjarvis i don't mean to harp on you when you've made your feelings clear but 'i was being ironic' reads with exactly the same intention here as it would if it were said by a middle schooler
@jepyang
I was being ironic, though that seems not to work well with the topic or the medium. My point is that the current Supreme Court and the fascist right wing in America seek to tear down the institutions they supposedly once lived to preserve. They are insurrectionists and as such use their authority to tear down the authority that holds them up. I did not intend to piss off anarchists hereabout and throw myself at their mercy.
@jeffjarvis
The #FoundingFathers believed giving SC Justices lifetime tenure would mitigate partisanship (loyalty to a particular president/party) b/c once they had the job, they couldn't lose it, and therefore had no reason to show favoritism.
