Holy shit believe women

More telling — and disqualifying — than the sheer antidemocratic sentiment this “Stop the Steal” flag displayed is the hair-splitting sophistry of Justice Alito’s pathetic effort to shift blame from himself to his wife or someone else in his household.

That’s why this stuff isn’t just all-sides chaos, or mere distraction, or a pox on everyone’s house.

They WANT you to think this was some random devolution of conduct instead of a structured GOP outcome.

We must understand who and what actions created the situation. It matters.

You see, this is the microcosm of what authoritarians do on a larger scale.

ID a vulnerable person/community that’s easier to break the rules towards, normalize it (often w/ “both sides” rhetoric), and then use that rule-breaking to undermine deeper processes and rule of law.

Keep thinking this is over there and doesn't affect me

They THEN did something highly unusual and still unclear to me how legitimate it was - they cut off the *rest of the amendment process,* end all legislative debate, and cut straight to a vote on their text without standard procedure.

Needless to say, this is not normal at all.

This is where the GOP chaos matters.

AFTER the Republican Chair and GOP members broke official House protocol to allow MTG’s horrific opening silo of rhetoric, they THEN made another change to dispense with the legislative process.

THAT part is not getting enough attention.

The Proud Boys are literally a terrorist group.

The fact that Matt Gaetz invokes their signature phrase here shows that the GOP are terrorist enablers and sympathizers.

How many more scandals about the Supreme Court need to be exposed before SOMEONE, ANYONE, will do something about it other than writing a sternly worded letter ?

The longer we dismiss and allow it, the deeper it becomes entrenched

Note : Its already been YEARS

This is what every gay couple in Seattle looks like

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that it’s their spouse’s fault.

It's bring your indicted co-conspirator to court day

Don’t be a hero get your ass inside away from windows NOW

If you’re on the side of violently overthrowing the U.S. government, you have no business being on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Stop pretending that any of this is normal or will work itself out.

Unrig the Supreme Court.

Alito should resign in disgrace. Impeachment should very much be on the table. And he cannot under federal recusal law take part in any of the Trump or January 6 cases.

We need Senate Judiciary Committee hearings immediately.

Number of articles Maggie Haberman wrote or contributed to involving Hillary Clinton’s emails, between 1/1/2015 and 12/31/2016:

265

Number of articles she wrote or contributed to about Biden’s age:

141

Now we know why

Haberman was shilling for Trump & Michael Cohen all along

“Barring them from engaging in political activity”

Samuel Alito flew an upside-down flag on his yard—a symbol that has been adopted by MAGA to dispute the legitimacy of Biden’s electoral victory in 2020—while he was deciding election-related cases in January of 2021. Get this disgrace off our highest court and the bench.

How are all the conservative Supreme Court Justices married to pro-insurrectionists
