The SCOTUS Chronicles

[Divinity]

How do you respect the rule of law, when the law doesn't even fucking respect itself.

Do you think Clarence Thomas and Alito give a shit that we know they're corrupt pieces of shit? They don't. Because legally they're untouchable. Impeachment will never happen in a million years. That would require impeachment by the house, and a guilty verdict in the senate. Even assuming the house goes democrat, you need 2/3rds of the senate to convict, and you ain't getting that to happen in a billion years. Dems hold a slim majority in the senate. Even if they win EVERY senate election in 2024 the dems don't have enough votes to convict.

The Boston Tea Party shows us what we should do. Sometimes a bit of civil disobedience is necessary to overthrow tyranny.

So, you support the 6 January Insurrection?

That's a bit false equivalence.

The issue with January 6th is that it's based on lies told without proof or evidence by a whiny corrupt narcissist. Imagine for a second that the election was stolen. What would you have us do? Go through the legal process and hope against hope that things are fixed? I mean it's possible I guess. But I can certainly understand why those who believed the lie would go and storm the capitol the way they did. January 6th was based on a lie. They were told these lies by the people in charge. I can only fault them in their lack of skepticism and the ease at which they bought the lies they were sold. Trump used those lies in an attempt to overthrow democracy. He doesn't really believe there was fraud. But his supporters absolutely do. Trump shoulders a lot of the blame for January 6th because not only does he know he's lying, he did so with a goal in mind to subvert democracy. But the J6ers thought they were upholding democracy, because they had been tricked. Now, they shouldn't have been so easily conned, but that's another issue entirely. They're way too willing to believe whatever their party tells them, and Trump is their party right now.
