-and now, any decent person considering a similar act of disobedience will concern troll themselves and decide against it no matter how worthy or critical the cause, precisely because the magats drug disobediance through the mud on jan6. If the clerics on the court came out and simply said that women had no rights their husband owners didn't afford them and that blacks were 2/5ths of a person...there would be no riots. There would be no scaling the capital walls....Because Decency™. In order to avoid Being Like Them™.

Bullshit. Disgusting, perverted, and tragic bullshit.

Personally....I've long known that the magats don't believe in my america, the thing I'd burn anything down for. It's disheartening to realize that the libs don't either. It's one thing..if there's nothing else, the two camps have in common. Neither of them would lift a finger to save the us. One, because they don't want it to be saved, and the other, because they have novel moral concerns not shared by the people who openly fantasize about killing them in the streets.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Once elected, politicians have one drive - getting reelected. They know they have to dog whistle to their constituency, blow hot air, and get nothing done except scoring political points.

Thomas, Alito, et. al. face no such compulsion. They are gods in their own eyes.

You set up a system that is supposed to ensure justice and fairness, and someone will figure out how to game the system. That's now happened with the Supreme Court.

The best you can do is find ways to reform the court. I was against packing the court, but now I realize they should have. Sure, the other side can re-pack or unpack at some future date, with such a small court it only takes a couple of corrupt people to completely tilt the balance. The credibility of the court is already broken. Packing won't break it more.

To find a detente in the packing-wars, some sort of court reform could be worked out.

Impeachment and conviction are separate. An impeached justice will always be an impeached justice. That's not nothing, though it may be close.

"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

In case you didn't think Alito deserves to be thrown in the garbage.

... alongside Thomas. They're both shitbags who have no objectivity.
