    “You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you,” Martha-Ann Alito said in the recording of a private conversation at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3.

    Get the fucken Mafia out of government.

          Actually the supreme Court is an appointed for life position so unless it gets stuffed again, it can only be changed when justices die or leave voluntarily. Ergo it’s literally unfixable by the common citizen unless revolution is on the table.

          Oh yes, because the dems have an interest in this.

          (They could have fixed it. They didn’t.)

              When they had control of the house and senate. You remember all the whole “we could pack the court by expanding the seats” thing?

              They didn’t in part because of manchin and sinema being doucheburgers, but Biden was vocally opposed to it as well.

                They had control of the house but never the senate.

                You still have to overcome the fillabuster, and that takes 60 votes. And with Manchin and Sinema practically Republicans you’ll never be able to scrap that stupid rule.

    These people are insane and the thing that drove them to insanity was a black president who rocked a tan suit and liked Spicy Brown Mustard.

      Combine that with being asked to wear a mask during a pandemic, and uh, nope, reality rejected, time to attempt a coup.

        Absolute madness, I still don’t understand why the right tried to turn a public health crisis into an issue of freedom and “owning the libs” or whatever.

        All they had to do was sell MAGA branded masks and they could have made money while protecting their followers! Hell, they could have branded the vaccine the “freedom jab” and made getting it all about “doing your part” and patriotism. Fucking nutbars.

          More proof that the party of fiscal responsibility isn’t actually about that lul. They’re terrible businesspeople coasting on daddy’s money and abusing laws to make their money.
