I think , , , , et al are evil criminals who need to be brought to justice.

I believe they are fascists or at least on friendly terms with fascists. I believe they've broken laws and are a threat to my life and the lives of my children.

I believe the US government may not be equipped to bring them to justice and that too is a crime.

I will never wish violence on them. I will never wish cancer on them.

Because I'm not a fucking fascist.

Powerful arguments for ( and ) come straight from former justice .

“In Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., from 2009, the court held that a state supreme court justice was constitutionally disqualified from a case in which the president of a corporation appearing before him had helped to get him elected by spending $3 million promoting his campaign.”

"Alito’s misconduct also brings Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who heads an entire branch of government, to an inflection point. If he does nothing, Roberts is complicit in the destruction of the court’s reputation. Such spinelessness might even snatch from Roger B. Taney, the author of the majority opinion in Dred Scott, the title of “worst chief justice ever.”"

Clarence Thomas attacks Brown v. Board ruling amid 70th anniversary

I believe the term you are thinking is "Uncle Tom" but it might also be "traitor" or "closet nazi" -- you tell me.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas issued a strong rebuke of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling on Thursday, suggesting the court overreached its authority in the landmark decision that banned separating schoolchildren by race.

Since we now know Alito was flying his flag upside down at the time, let’s review one of the plans the coup plotters had involving him.

This interview by criminal defendant Powell is interesting. It suggests that the purpose of the insurrection was to DELAY the electoral college certification to give time to intervene on this legal challenge. But, Powell says they didn’t anticipate Pelosi reconvening Congress that day.

Remember when John Eastman admitted his proposals to nullify the 2020 election would lose at #SCOTUS 7-2?

The two Eastman was counting on for the insurrection were Thomas (atop the 11th circuit where they filed a lawsuit in Georgia) and Alito (atop the 5th circuit where they filed a lawsuit in Texas). That’s according to under-oath testimony from Pence’s lawyer. 2/

This is my "Stop the SCOTUS" profile picture, if I used it as a profile picture. He AND Clarence need to be impeached & removed. If Democrats win House & Senate & do NOT expand the court, we will lose the ability to regulate pollution in this country, contraceptives/ abortion pills will be outlawed nationally, marriage equality will disappear, and more.

This SCOTUS is corrupted.

Toxic partisan politics is corrupting every segment of society, bit by bit, from civilian life to government to church to media to education and everything in-between, eating away at it all, like a cancer.

"While recent debates center on enacting an ethics code for the Supreme Court, the statutory honoraria ban has been in place for decades. No new ethical rules need to be promulgated, or codes enacted on this subject. It exists right now, as it has since 1989. But Thomas and Leo are doing an end run around it, accomplishing indirectly what the law prohibits them from doing directly. And no one is stopping them."

"…Thomas is saying, No, I may not take a fee for speaking at a dinner sponsored by the Koch bros; heaven forbid I violate the…honorarium ban! But of course: Nothing stops you, Koch bros, from lavishing me w/a trip to Palm Springs in a private plane, sumptuous accommodations, & fabulous meals,…there is nothing wrong w/conservative billionaires enabling Thomas to have a lifestyle far beyond what his judicial salary allows."

The case of Clarence Thomas’s new clerk taints the entire judiciary

Justice has hired to be one of his law clerks, the most elite assignment a young law school graduate can secure.
The shock is this:
In 2015, when Clanton was 20
and working for a conservative group allied with the justice’s wife, Thomas,
Clanton apparently sent racist texts to a fellow employee:

“I HATE BLACK PEOPLE,”
one text read.
“Like f--- them all … I hate blacks. End of story.”
(In Clanton’s text, the expletive was spelled out.)
It is impossible to overstate the prestige that attaches to a Supreme Court clerkship.

The job is a golden ticket awarded to just 36 each year
— about 1 in 1,000 law graduates, the best of the best.

Major law firms lure Supreme Court clerks with signing bonuses of a half-million dollars.

Clanton, who graduated from the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University in 2022, will be the third high court clerk from that institution since 2021.

The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer unearthed Clanton’s texts in 2017, in an article about 🔹 Turning Point USA🔹, the conservative youth organization run by .

Notably, 🔸Clanton, the group’s field director🔸, didn’t deny writing the texts.

“I have no recollection of these messages and they do not reflect what I believe or who I am and the same was true when I was a teenager,” she wrote in an email to Mayer.

  1. is a qanon fascist, she worked really hard to overthrow the government and the election, end America and install a tyrant, rapist, fraud, and coup leader. Ginni is a disgrace to America. Call out her crimes and her fraud everyday.

We see you Ginni. We see what you did. Your BFF Ken and you directed and advised plotter Mark Meadows.

Dear fascist coup plotter Ginni,

Sedition you say, Ginni?

Many republicans have been convicted of seditious conspiracy and Trump, Meadows and fellow criminals have been arrested and charged with many felonies in 4 jurisdictions. Many election crimes by your friends Ginni, DoJ is probably watching you.
