[@ruththomson4601]

Neal Katyal: thank you for addressing this unbelievable status of SCOTUS. What are we going to do. Can they be retrieved from this sloppy muck?

[@clairekey3682]

Hope Biden is listening.

Will he call Seal Team 6 to save democracy? 🤔

It'd be nice if we could trust supreme court judges ! It's to hard to listen to Trump lawyer voice!

[@michaelbockert8280]

LOL Not as hard as it is to listen to Michael Dreeben voice with constant crackling like he is just hitting puberty. He needs to layoff the hormones... holy crap.

How stupid of SCOTUS. Why they want to help DT.

When can we do a no confidence vote on the supreme court?

Soon as we do one on Joe Biden and most of the Democrats in office.

I'd listen to Mr. Katyal any day any time. He's utterly fantastic.

They definitely will not .. some of them are beholden to Trump

The court has shown the country that slow walking is the plan.

[@joycewang8939]

Neal, you are great. We are all waiting for the same thing , for the not so Supreme Court to move fast. Their only purpose to get involved in this case is to delay the case to help that criminal.

[@EuroMaidanWasAnInsurrection]

As a American veteran im still waiting for Bush Jr to be charged with war crimes for Iraq and Afghanistan. When that happens, then I'll care about the 90 plus indictments against Trump.

[@officernasty2648]

Both congressional bodies approved those endeavors. You're trying to compare apples to oranges

[@EuroMaidanWasAnInsurrection]

@@officernasty2648 as long as we're both understanding Bush Jr crimes are worse than anything Trump has done.

[@murph4873]

My understanding is that if Bush Jr leaves the US he’ll be grabbed by the International Court in The Hague. I don’t think he leaves Texas.

​​@@EuroMaidanWasAnInsurrection I don't think the family and friends of the hundreds of thousands of poor innocent American souls that lost their lives due to Trumps neglect and incompetence during the pandemic would agree with you..
