Acuse him self. Forget that. Thomas and Alito must be removed from the bench immediately. Give me a break They have no ethics

[@hansleeuw2840]

Biden and the Democrats should put two Democratic justices on the bench to negate their effect. It would make perfect sense. They should poll for it and including the reason and reasoning in the question.
