[@deadshaper1]

The 3 judge lower court's decision was correct by law. Most objective attorneys will tell you the decision for SCOTUS to agree to hear this case is purely political & ludicrous.

[@peterfreiling6963]

The Supreme Court today is an absolute disgrace. Chief Justice Roberts, are you listening?

[@rzipper1716]

When do checks and balances get applied to the Supreme Court ??? If no one is above the law, why isn't Thomas being investigated for bribery ???

[@fionakelleghan3267]

Mitch McConnell prevented Barack Obama from appointing any Supreme Court judges. Sigh. Oh man, I miss Obama.

[@tpliscon4662]

mcconnell forced several judges on scrotus. He's to blame for this mess. Now he gets to retire with a massive golden parachute.

[@kimbercole2438]

That bunch should be dissolved - roberts, Kavanagh, barrett, Thomas, alito, gorsuch - get rid of them, they are absolutely wrong! They're playing politics and that is NOT their job!

[@carmelaguanciale6620]

Term limits for SCOTUS. Starting with corrupt Alito and corrupt Thomas

[@loveholidaybyviction1272]

The fact that the supreme court is taking this on tells you how broken our system really is

[@patti21125150]

They never should have taken this case. The Appellate court gave them the perfect out!!

[@jay4you853]

We must find a way to get rid of this extremist court... they've done enough damage!!

[@paradisemeco7121]

This court will go in history on the wrong side. It is shameful

[@toritori5835]

Why is there no accountability for all the justices who lied about Roe v. Wade during their vetting?

[@sread833]

Illegitimate court

[@mona2046]

Term limits for SCOTUS!!!

[@marthahines1979]

Mr. Weissman is CORRECT. This court is a mess and we need major reform. Let’s start with term limits.

[@casperitwas]

This is stunning !!!!!!

[@keneaton2855]

When I was growing up the idea of a corrupt Supreme Court was something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. How wrong I was!

[@bobwelke3308]

The concept of Presidential "immunity" is beyond reason, beyond common sense, beyond history, beyond the law. The fact that the Supreme Court would even consider the issue is worrisome to anyone who values our democracy.

[@danpoole4915]

This is where we are. Time to choose. Freedom or slavery. Democracy or dictatorship. Time to act. To vote.

[@daveallen4752]

SCOTUS need to register as a political party
