2/3 of Supreme Court "Justices" have taken bribes and refused oversight

And that's how you get this:

@flexghost Isn't it time we started to take power away from these entitled corrupt members of SCOTUS? it's like leaving the dog in charge of the butcher shop, they take bribes with one hand and legalize graft with the other, sweet deal SCOTUS. What's next, legalize slavery again?

flexghost OP ,
@flexghost@mastodon.social avatar

@secoiqq They gave themselves the power to legislate which can easily be ignored but we dont do it

@flexghost "The Founders didn't think to prevent the Supreme Court being corrupt", rules Supreme Court.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Could the corrupt 2/3 be McConnell's court?
Yes. Yes it could.

@flexghost As long as you don't pay them until after the work is done, you're fine.

It's not like the people issuing bribes are constantly hollering about what they want in every possible conflict or situation such that the people wanting bribes are always made aware of which action would bring them rewards, right?

If they didn't directly correspond ahead of time, how would Thomas know that Trump and his backers want the immunity case decided in his favor?

Response 1: So why has the number of justices not increased?

Response 2: The beginning of the downfall of this country is well underway.

flexghost OP ,
@flexghost@mastodon.social avatar

@peteorrall 13 makes the most sense and Biden said no when he was running last time. WHY

Jon_Kramer ,
@Jon_Kramer@mastodon.social avatar

@flexghost @peteorrall because Biden promised "nothing will fundamentally change" and he MEANT it.

@Jon_Kramer @peteorrall Like I get trying to reach across the isle so stop the division but its frustrating cause only one side does it

Jon_Kramer ,

@flexghost @peteorrall Biden needs to star with a comment about trump being a traitor, rapist, and felon tomorrow night.

I bet Biden mentions trumps' convictions only, and doesn't call him anything close to what he is.

@Jon_Kramer @peteorrall DECORUM!

Changing the law so SCOTUS is ALLOWED to be bribed is quite the show and tell.

INCREASE SCOTUS TO THIRTEEN.

Or simply give up our country to the criminals.
BUY A SCOTUS JUSTICE TO GET THE LAWS YOU WANT.

flexghost OP ,
@flexghost@mastodon.social avatar

@LaNaehForaday The US has 13 circuits so this makes more sense now than ever

LaNaehForaday ,
@LaNaehForaday@universeodon.com avatar

@flexghost

It is purely logical and would help loosen the Courts schedule so they could run more smoothly.

The real problem now is they know we want this logical thing to happen. Because of this, the next GOP POTUS WILL without a doubt, increase SCOTUS.

If we cannot accomplish this in the very near future, THEY WILL.

My most terrible fear is the 2028 election. Barring the GOP actually self imploding after they lose in November, historically it is so so rare for one party to hold the presidency for over two terms. We really need to make sure we change things hard core this time and not the namby pamby "democrats" way. But the hard core, we better be electing Dark Brandon, kind of way.

They are going to be pissed if they are ever allowed power again.

@LaNaehForaday @flexghost

Isn't it more about the term limit than the party? e.g. if you could have 3 terms then it would (mostly) happen. I haven't analysed the data just making assumptions based on my sketchy knowledge of US history.

Either way, one suggestion:

  • Re-Elect Biden
  • Just before 2 year mark, he resigns
  • Harris takes over
  • She gets 2 more terms after that
LaNaehForaday ,
@LaNaehForaday@universeodon.com avatar

@brindy @flexghost

Why,pray tell, are you keen to have Biden QUIT EARLY?

What exactly does that accomplish since Harris is just like any other candidate and gets her 8 years if elected to two terms.

If you are intimating that Biden could only make it two years, then IM going to block you for being utterly stupid.

So Id like to understand why you think Biden needs to quit early?

Of course he thought I was hysterical evidently because I so easily put him on tilt.
