  1. Well, finding Sam Alito another job might be tough, but maybe he could try his hand at being a professional chess player.

  2. Stop calling it the “high court.” It’s where the Constitution goes to die.

  3. They might not be so extreme when they take the bench, but after 2 and 3 decades of being the guest of honor at right wing rich people parties you’ll become more extreme.

    I can’t wait to see what Shlitz Cavanaugh is like in twenty years.

  4. I know many will not read the article, but it is very well written. 

  5. From the article:

    “If an individual, including some of those currently on our highest court, finds it difficult to serve as a judge because they cannot suppress their fervent ideological or religious beliefs, that person should do us all a favor and seek a new career. There may not be many jobs that call for such key skills as spitefulness, ignoring precedent, grifting from billionaire pals and blaming your spouse for a blatant political blunder. But isn’t that what LinkedIn is for?”

  6. “Grooming judges through the Federalist Society would have to stop”. We know this. We also know that the Wealthy donors behind The Federalist Society are also behind Project 2025, the division of our Nation and the attack on Democracies Worldwide! The Democratic Party knows this also. It has been almost 96 hours since traitor president convicted and still nothing being done to tear down this Conservative Machine destroying our world for Profit, Power and the ability to be held harmless. Exposing the machine’s corruption it the key to a Major Democratic victory. Why do the wealthiest people in the world want to control the American Government? Why is there not a full-on campaign to fight for democracy and only a half ass campaign to barely win and keep Americans in this hate cycle? Everything happening in the republican party and our government is PLANNED and calculated to destroy our democracy. Most likely the republicans on the Supreme Court have approved the Project 2025 and mapped out how to make it look legal. Pugs barely win, they burn the place down, Dems barely win pugs still enact Project 2025 and start pushing Red States to be more defiant toward federal government. How far do you think these people will go?

  7. Every 5 years after they are appointed SCOTUS should be voted on by the people of the USA. Popular vote only. No gerrymandering a straight up vote . So less than 50% is a show of no confidence and they’re out.

  8. # ENTIRE JUDICIAL BRANCH ON TRIAL

    There. Fixed your headline…

    You’re welcome!

    PS. The flag being flown upside down wouldn’t be entirely out of line, given this realization!

  9. I’m just a visual persona here to assist with information and entertainment.

  10. It’s a shame I’ve always loved that flag and it’s interesting history. Now these religious zealots are using it again. Looks like I can’t fly it outside my house.

  11. If the Supreme Court matters to you, vote. These are lifetime appointments and Trump has made it clear after this past month he intends to install more, younger cronies after his current partisan hacks retire.

  13. Separation of church and state is the one true genius thing about our Constitution.
    Alito or Thomas MUST never acquire the power to make any changes to that.

  14. It’s surprising to hear the most problematic justices aren’t even the ones appointed by Trump.

  17. > Alito and Clarence Thomas have been exposed as shameless partisan hacks.

    As has a good portion of congress by not doing anything about it. But we knew that, so, here we are.

  19. A special “fuck you” to all the assholes who knew that Hillary was the better candidate in 2016 but still refused to vote for her anyway. This 6-3 far right SCOTUS majority is directly your fault.

  21. maybe send him down to the minors and let him earn his way back by playing better…

    Oops, I’m getting confused between the SC and MLB.

    They both have been in the news a lot these past couple months.

  22. With the right’s knowledge, actions, and in-actions and knowledge, I think that being the flag they fly upside-down would be a more appropriate appeal.

  23. Hopefully liberals can get their abortion back. Trump was in favor of that and playing his side but if a good republican candidate get in it’s over for the left

  24. Waiting for Thomas to get in trouble with the IRS

  25. “Shameless partisan hacks?” No, they’re *traitors*, and it’s about time the media started calling them that. Our media is a goddamn disgrace. 🤬
