Dick Durbin is gonna write a really milquetoast tweet in response

"well we tried"

What else can he do

What a fucking surprise 🤦🏽‍♂️ This court is utterly illegitimate.

Everyone needs to CALL their senators and representative to remind them that Alito and Thomas have a LEGAL OBLIGATION to recuse themselves from cases involving Trump and/or January 6. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/05/its-...

It's illegal for Alito and Thomas to hear the January 6 cases - Lawyers, Guns & Moneywww.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com Jamie Raskin points out (gift link) that both the SCOTUS’s own interpretation of the Due Process Clause, and a freestanding federal statute, legally require Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves, even...

The Supreme Court is populated by too many jurists who view themselves as kings. It's time for the United States to do a little bit of what we do with kings.

Prop them up and do everything they say?

That depends on whether or not said King's country has oil our King-in-Practice wants

We overthrew one absolute monarch, only to end up with NINE of them ~250 years later...

Time to make it not a request

Huh. You can just tell a non-subpoena committee to fuck off? More college presidents should try that.

Lol of course. Roberts and all the other justices (yes even the one you think is ok) do not care about any of us, and are fully entrenched in their position of power. For all intents and purposes, they consider themselves entitled to their judicial power for life

Time for public hearings then! About damn time.

American democracy.

Chief Justice Roberts rejects having budget for 2024.

The senators tried nothing and they're all out of ideas. Time to eat everyone on the supreme court with ketchup

And then all the senators too, with bbq sauce

judicial branch, checks and balances, there is an article for that

Idk if it’s good or bad that they’ve finally gotten to the point where they’re don’t care and are not even going to bother to try for a fig leaf

If only it motivated other branches to take action instead of throwing up their hands.

Roberts is covering for his christofascist buddies. #SQOTUS

What ethics? The concept is beyond him.

No one is going to tell them what to do. Accountability is for…..well not them.

Bribery is against the US Constitution, right?

Sounds like a job for a subpoena…

i had such hopes

Dick Durbin is the Susan Collins of Merrick Garlands.

Asking a corrupt person to investigate his corrupt friend, of course he didn't

Trump's supreme cult

We have an illegitimate government

Alito must be removed.

back to living our lives; instead of fighting this civil war rehash Repubs got going on. ... 4

they think and we, the people, can help them out by giving Dems majorities they need to hold these corrupt accountable and remove them from govt, where they no longer belong. Then the real "House" cleaning can begin and we, all, can get ... 3

them accountable. We know, the Republicon Congress will not. I do not think that is what the Founders had meant for this court to be doing. Senate needs to act on these corrupt traitors. I think they have more power to deal with this than ...2

27thA - IMPEACH for extremely bad behavior. I would think, that since it is the Senate that confirms these justices and SCOTUS is considered a 3rd branch of govt and Scotus are acting as if they are an untouchable branch of govt, there would be something the Senate could do to hold ... 1

I'm shocked—shocked! that a feckless megalomaniacal liar declines to be exposed to scrutiny. stop asking and start subpoenaing
