Impeach Justice Thomas!!!!

[@daniellepartee2570]

Thank you, Shan Wu & Meidas Touch. I really appreciate all of you.

[@ShanlonWuEsq]

Appreciate you watching

[@MichaelBrueckner]

Absolute immunity for Trump? Absolutely not. Absolute accountability? Absolutely.

[@LJG781]

They should be held accountable ,,, for their miscarriage of justice...

[@randievietti5131]

One key aspect in the immunity argument was that SCOTUS completely ignored the issue before them: inciting a coup against the peaceful transfer of power

[@LiteraryCurtastrophe]

What boils my blood and irks the fuck out of me is the fact that the "only question" your Supreme Court issued for the immunity argument was whether or not, and if yes, how much, immunity is extended to former presidents...so HOW they got bogged down on the questions they did ask makes NO sense to me... Because from what i heard, not much was said about the question they framed. Somebody make it make sense, please

[@anthonydelfino6171]

they're bogging themselves down like they are because they're intentionally trying to stretch this out as long as possible. they don't want this case decided before the election this fall, at which point one of two things will happen 1) Biden is reelected, in which case they will determine that presidents do NOT have immunity from criminal charges. they won't want to empower Biden in his last four years to do more crimes, and it will be safe to assume Trump will no longer be a player come 2028 2) Trump is reelected, and the case will decide that the president DOES have immunity, or at least has limited immunity because they will want to enable him to create a dynastic situation where conservatives have full and continual control of our government forever and we have McConnell to tank for ultimately killing American democracy if that is the case (along with others, but it was his maneuvering that allowed Trump to appoint three justices in four years and dramatically change the court to what it is now)

[@MaryAnnWofford]

They are trying to find a way to keep Mark Meadows out of jail

[@ReneeUK1]

Thank you Mr. Wu, listening to you is a pleasure as you explain everything so clearly.

[@ShanlonWuEsq]

Appreciate you!

[@aztec232]

What I want to know is how we can,specifically, impeach Thomas and Alito.

[@WriterRachel]

We need Biden to win, along with 60 Democratic senators & a Democratic majority in the House to IMPEACH corrupt Justices.

[@kylesimmons3674]

Has to go through the house and senate

[@patricial.6758]

Talk to your US Representative. The House is where it starts.

[@hermantsoenyane1969]

The Republicans won't allow it, just like they wouldn't with Trump.

[@flowers6576]

​@@hermantsoenyane1969 ...right now. But things could change if Biden wins reelection.

[@wickyb123]

Yup. With immunity he could take out justices that don't align with him under the guise of corruption.

[@pedigreeann]

He wouldn't need a 'guise'.

[@paulineblount626]

I always appreciate your breakdown of the issues, thank you so much Mr Shan

[@josephhuston7590]

LOL,That court is through. And they know it.

[@purplepixie3397]

VOTE BLUE 💙 ALL THE WAY

[@LeeH-qn2bs]

Love your analysis! 💙💙💙💙 Vote blue!

[@shanwu3308]

Much appreciated!

[@craigleslie1032]

Thank you Mr. Shan Wu. As a retired attorney, I listened with rapt attention to Sauer's arguments and the conservative Justices attempts to help hiim in his defense of Trump. Your analysis cleared up some of my confusion with certain aspects of the SC hearing, which Orange man called a "meeting." Thanks so much. So far, you, Judge Lutig and Professor Tribe are the cleareset

[@ShanlonWuEsq]

Thank you very esteemed company!

[@joeybaby.]

Gosh, this attorney explain legal jargon so well. I love when fog leaves my head and clarity appears. Thank you. 💙🤗💙

[@ShanlonWuEsq]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@dr.zippymcscoots8725]

If their working for Trump why abide by the Supreme Court anymore?

[@kay1957-gu7ey]

Let's change the supreme court. i.e. The American Bar Association chooses the Supremes based upon their excellence and non-bias and wholly earned respect. NOT presidents who are just anybody with a megaphone.

[@The_Tiffster]

100%

[@pedigreeann]

It's not just the President; the Senate must advise and consent. That's why Merrick Garland isn't sitting on the Court today; the Majority Leader in the Senate, one Mitch McConnell, refused to do his duty and never held a hearing to confirm. And there was no way to force him to.

[@The_Tiffster]

@@pedigreeann Mitch McConnell is currently the minority leader in the Senate.

[@betmebuckwheat51]

End this and send it to Chutkin . NOW not June. You've been busted !!!!!!!

[@christinac3929]

Your rights end when they harm me.

[@user-ck1vx7km4i]

Ancient proverb from unknown origins. "A fish rots from the head down. The only cure is to cut it off." Seems like they knew what they were talking about back then.

[@dianacalzadias4334]

They don't want to decide anything, helping the rump is helping themselves. Impeach all those who strive to help him.

[@pauljcross2289]

The corruption of the SCOTUS is a disgrace to the nation

[@yosf5221]

How is it helping the court?

[@E-D-]

​@@yosf5221Because he put some of the justices in there positions 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@katiehettinger7857]

We need a Democrats super majorities in both chambers of Congress to impeach Supreme Court justices and expand the court. Today, there is a likelihood of reaching that goal in the House, but not possible in the Senate unless something unforeseeable occurred.

[@jamesbarnes3832]

It does appear that members of the Supreme Court are part of a criminal conspiracy. It seems factually evident that at least 3 of them take of bribes.

[@jamesnini8475]

And, if Trump gets back in office, he knows this very well.

[@rosemarymeert4848]

Thank you for breaking down this issue

[@maribelbvarela8238]

I have very little hope on the Supreme Court.. I Wish Biden could assign more Justices.

[@deborahsolleveld7118]

He can’t do it alone. People need to understand impeachment is the best way to remove immoral judges

[@coriel2597]

Thank you for the clear explanation of a judicial mess.

[@careyrowland]

This explanation is crystal clear and quite timely. We the People need to give attention to your information here. Keep up the good work.

[@kneedrabell4862]

💙💙 Shan you are a great explainer and humans analogizer, helping common-folks like me to understand complicated legal stuff. Thank you 👏👏👏👏

[@ShanlonWuEsq]

Much appreciated tks for watching!

[@nicnic1981]

I'm no esquire, so there's more to add, but here we go. OUR ONLY PATH TO KEEP DEMOCRACY: Increase SCOTUS to 13 to match 13 District Courts. Justices are rotated to each District every 2 years. Full retirement required at age 70. Also need to undo the dysfunction at the Appellate level as well

[@jo-p5]

Excellent idea.

[@Maximumma]

The original 13 States, 13 Supreme court justices is what we need now in 2024. With Term LIMITS 2 Terms of 3 years = 6 years just in case you can't add.

[@dakotawolff9217]

We MUST NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN !!! Rise up !!!

[@Digeeedad]

Sadly more and more unlikely. Too many in this nation want to see it destroyed as we have known it. The ignorant and proudly stupid may get what they want despite that being disastrous to themselves as well. We need a miracle to survive passed November
