VOTE 💙💙💙

Expand the COURT. Ratify Sweeping Ethics Reform for SCOTUS. Reform Vetting and Hearing Processes for ALL Federal Judges including SCOTUS.

But WHO will agree to that when THEY are in control?

Congress is the Article I branch. They hold the most power and they hold the purse strings. They can refuse to fund SCOTUS until certain reforms are made. They can investigate, and if necessary, impeach and remove members of SCOTUS. There’s a reason why The Framers made Congress Article I and SCOTUS Article III.

Yes, Scott. But they've failed us. We're past words. This is a time for action.

Oh, the ugliness of it all. I went through mental anguish when Gore wasn't given his due . And, that he chose to bow out gracefully without seeing things through made me resentful of George and Jeb who, of course, would've done anything (everything) for his brother to be prez. So it doesn't take much for me to reach my saturation level. I'm beside myself with all sorts of emotions, as you can imagine. Musk drives me to madness (anger and exasperation), but Congress makes me spit nails. HOW could Trump, incompetent moron, attain the highest office in the land with the aid of folks who are supposed to uphold our U.S. Constitution? WHY isn't Congress working for We the People? WHY is the Supreme Court going against the Rule of the Land? Honestly? I'm at my wit's end.

Gore should have fought, especially in hindsight of what George W did to the U.S. and the world.

Deli Lanoux's avatar

Yes, but he was a gentleman who abided by the Rule of Law. He believed that others were good and that justice would prevail. I didn't trust the Bushes or anyone who made the judgment call at the time.

Scott Russo's avatar

Politics is not and has never been a gentleman’s sport. Gore played by the wrong rules, and we all lost.

Deli Lanoux's avatar

Agreed. It's a dog-eat-dog mentality that permeates all sensibility. But Gore thought he was doing the right thing... the same way Kamala didn't question the mess that Musk made to have Trump win.

This is terrible; they have to be stopped. We need term limits and a massive SCOTUS overhaul.

Trump will try to stack the courts with people like Cannon. We wouldn't have this horrid president if it wasn't for her.

Jack Smith had more than enough to convict Trump.

Deli Lanoux's avatar

To blame? Cannon and McConnell, dastardly duo. Legacy media. And others, like Merrick Garland, who chose to do nothing. But, yes. Cannon single-handedly shut Jack Smith down.

This was the greatest political theft of my lifetime. So much of the 20th century would have been different had we not had this election stolen, and had the court not been packed with unethical, crooked justices.

Remember this happening and it was horrific. Yes today and 2000 life would be so much different and better!
