The disgraceful Supreme Court justice should be held accountable for his actions but probably won’t.

Because right-wingers are EXTREMELY, overwhelmingly, almost unanimously corrupt. They would never punish one of their own, no matter heinous, unethical, or repugnant the crime. They know that if they do not all stick together lock-step no matter what, their illegitimately stolen power will fall apart like used wet toiletpaper.

left wingers are any better? I got one for you, the state is neither, it has both parties in it and only two parties. it is corrupt, rub two brain cells to together to arrive at a conclusion outside of the left/right framework. I know it is hard but work on it.

Because one of the parties is better for lifting people up. Like, immeasurably better.

I won’t even say which one I think it is. You can decide for yourself.

Yeah.

Remember when Al Franken resigned because someone said they were bother by his actions decades ago? Remember how there were bipartisan investigations into Benghazi and Hillary emails? Or when Bill Clinton let an independent special prosecutor attempt to find evidence of corruption?

How about how Lindsey Graham said that he would never support confirming a supreme court justice before a presidential election and then did that? Or how many of Trump’s administration have went to jail?

This “both sides are just as bad” number doesn’t work when one side is activity lieing, curtailing freedoms and attempting literal coups, while the other side has obeyed due process and law the overwhelming majority of the time.

Weird that 1/2 of this framework, the D group, always votes against gigantic tax cuts for the rich, and the R group always votes for the exact opposite. Both sides are the same opposite of each other.

like why are you even make this left right when most of us are the bottom?

Because if you are at the bottom, you would be an extreme fool to vote for the party that consistently gives gigantic tax cuts to billionaires.

reality check… Trump’s tax cuts passed.

Biden could not get student loans done… Obama could not get health done properly…

Trump spend trillions on covid “bail outs” Biden came in did and the same…

What did you get from Democrats having both house and presidency, limp dick student loan reform that added USD 1T to on the genY and GenZ?

The cope here is too strong today lol

In other words: you don’t know what “left winger” means.

Hint: The U.S. Democratic Party is not left wing.

Centrist Democratic Politician: we want to exploit labor and centralize weath and power, but we want people to like us so we’ll do some incrementally good things things to keep folks satisfied

Centrist Republican Politician: we want to exploit labor and centralize weath and power, and fuck you. If you don’t support us rapist minorities are going to rape you to death, or you might have to see people who aren’t like you in public.

Then how come 100% of them voted against Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump and the GOP’s gigantic tax cuts for billionaires in 2017? Vague claims mean nothing. Only real things matter.

Because of politics.

  1. no chance of removing him
  2. Democrats just impeached Trump twice.
  3. expanding the court makes more sense

@ProfThadBach In all honesty though, why would we expect any better when our only major parties are far-right fascists and right-of-center liberals? That’s two right-wing parties controlling everything.

Okay but you know expanding the court is a nuclear option. Like the current place we are in is there are 6 “conservative” judges and 3 “liberal” ones. So you would need to introduce 4 new supreme court justices at minimum to upset the current balance. While you are sort of ignoring the Senate has 49 republicans, 48 dems, and 3 “independents”. So who again confirms supreme court justices? Oh yeah senate… This is also ignoring you would have to make a new act to set the number of supreme court justices to 13 and who has majority control over house again? So lets fast forward to some future where dems have unquestionable control over the legislative branch of government where they can’t be filibustered down. What exactly stops conservatives from just increasing that number once again to 18 or so when they have control?

Because in reality its not Republicans vs Democrats. It’s Us against Them. They will never side with Us against one of their own. We exist to fill their coffers, we are necessary bugs in the system.
