alito is playing in our faces because he knows there’s nothing we can do about it and he has total contempt for the idea that he might be accountable for anything he does

Love the Democrats ruling out ever doing anything about it. Heck of an opposition party

Honestly asking: what are their options? They can impeach justices, right?

Impeachment starts in the House, so that's right out, at the moment. However, the Senate Judiciary could hold hearings. Use them as a means to move public opinion and raise the salience of this issue.

They've ruled out expanding the court, which is the only realistic way to reduce the conservative power, so the worst they can do are public scoldings.

i need people to understand that expanding the court is such a heavy political lift that it basically has not been done since the civil war when there was literally no opposition to it in congress.

He didn't pack the court but he did get rulings to go his way that might not have. (Social Security and NLRA)
