Lawrence: If Alito were a congressman, he'd be heckling Biden with Marjorie Taylor Greene

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how both former presidents Bush gave us the worst Supreme Court justices, including Samuel Alito, who “disgraced himself” by heckling President Obama and whose silence about a second flag associated with the January 6th attack on the Capitol flying at his home “only amplifies the suspicion” that Alito is biased.

So what if they're impeached? How do you get a conviction? You don't. A total waste of time. What does need to happen is the Senate Judiciary Committee needs to immediately subpoena Alito and get an explanation for his outright call for armed insurrection by flying that "Appeal to Heaven" flag. Of course, Ayatollah Alito would simply ignore the subpoena, in which case the Senate must use its inherent contempt power and hold this traitor in contempt of Congress and have him detained until he cooperates.

Just because Thomas accepts billionaire money from a white guy doesn't mean he wouldn't accept the same from a black guy. He seems more like an opportunist than a race denier/ hater. Justice Thomas just wants to make history, and he has. Unfortunately his children and family will bear his scars, and for that I am sad for them. I hope his family's name isn't scarred by his actions too deeply that it inhibits those that come after his generation.

*☀️Daily reminder☀️* *🔸️Updated🔸️* Concerning action that you, the US citizens, can take against judge Cannon. Not only her, but also justices Alito and Thomas: Glenn Kirschner, in a recent video on his channel titled *"Judge Aileen Cannon's Bias Is Showing,"* explains step-by-step how every concerned and angry American can file a judicial misconduct complaint form with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to insist that Cannon be removed from the case and a fair, impartial, and independent judge be assigned trump's federal case in Florida. *Update:* In a more recent video (towards the end of it) on Brian Tyler's channel titled *"Prosecutor takes on Supreme Court amid new scandal,"* Mr. Kirschner urges everyone to also file misconduct complaints (on the same website where you file againstCannon) against justices Alito and Thomas. One form per person. What do you have to lose, good people; *help make justice matter!!*

Where's the information to do it.

Thank you so much for this! Please please repost this to every comment section that you can. This is something that the average person can do and feel that have struck back against the utterly corrupt supreme courts. Please repost this everywhere!!!!

[@camelshyte.stardust.heroes]

​@gilbertmoreno3621 Please go to the first video (Kirschner's) that I mention in my post. The whole video is about Cannon, and towards the end of it Glenn gives you the instructions on how to proceed to file the complaints. I have tried to post the link to his video, but youtube just keeps taking it down.

Had Dukakis won in 1988 and Kerry won in 2004, Thomas and Alito would not be on the Supreme Court.

We would live in an entirely different country, a far, far better country.

In 2000, a lot of silly people voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore in order to "send a message". In 2016, more silly people voted for Jill Stein, maybe for the same reason. We now suffer these horrible consequences.

Alito's reaction to President Obama calling the "Supreme " court out reminds me of crazy Roger Stone when he was called out! Scary facial stuff going on.

If ever there was a country that NEEDS compulsory voting, which we are lucky enough to have in Australia, it is the USA. Results would be drastically different if you all had to turn up at the polls.

[@adam-michaeljames8328]

I slept through most of my American Government class in high school, admittedly, but no president should be able to appoint a Supreme Court justice, nor should there be any ideology associated with that appointment - not liberal nor conservative. I mean, judges are supposed to be impartial in all other courts. Why is the Supreme Court different? These justices shouldn't be given lifetime appointments, either. Who came up with this stuff? (The same people who invented the electoral college, I'm sure...)

[@user-cv8hj2cs9f]

I hear that both Thomas and Alito want to retire. Many people would welcome these 2 insurrectionist sympathizers to do just that. Buh bye!

[@lightwillprevail]

They will wait to retire under a Republican president so their selfish lies and hate can continue 😡

[@melissabruhn1429]

Nor if Trump/Leonard Leo install their replacements.

[@lightwillprevail]

Retirement under a Republican president guarantees Republican replacements on an already corrupt supreme court 🤑
