“This Supreme Court Is Its Own Worst Enemy:” Expert Discusses SCOTUS New Term | Amanpour and Company

[@nandayane]

it’s gonna take 50 years to undo the damage this court is causing.

[@paulkesler1744]

Our environment doesn't have 50 years.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

No it won’t. Get a democrat supermajority in Congress and we will fix it all in one term.

[@nandayane]

@@paulkesler1744 That’s kind of the tragedy of the whole thing.

[@ShahidKhan-ke8fe]

Not necessarily. The court can be expanded in size.

[@tmarkcommons174]

p PROJECT 67 We just need 67 non-corrupt senators to impeach corrupt justices. It does not matter if they are democrats or republicans, except that a republican has the extra burden of being first. p

[@micheallamp]

The court is Partisan. It's unethical and will continue to be that way. We need ethics reform that they need to be held too. They are terrible human beings!

[@dolliscrawford280]

Maybe have a random court oversee the Supreme Court by each state appointing one judge from each state to a pool that 10 judges who would be randomly selected for 3 years. This oversight board can punish Supreme Court Justices by forcing recusal from certain cases or giving them a three-case unpaid leave for accepting bribes or something. Impeach and convict isn't working like it should.

​@meknotewe8155 Obama assassinated an American citizen who was accused of terrorism and then his teenage son was murdered as well without charge or even evidence. When an American President can muder citizens without due process than the constitution has already been thrown away with impunity. The duopoly only complains when it's the other side BUT that's just to give cover for the obvious fact that there's 2 sets of rules, 1. The Establishment is above the Law unless they are polically inconvenient & they don't have political skeletons to threaten, think B. Menendez who only did ol' fashioned BUT he did it the incorrect way by taking payments upfront instead of the proper way like The Clintons getting paid millions in speaking fees for taking care of interest groups. Then there's Gov. Cuomo who colluded with insurance companies to change safety laws in oldage homes so that they could all be shoved in together if they got Covid saving them millions at the cost of seniors who died alone for their greed. He was politically inconvenient BUT unfortunately he has many DNC skeletons as his family is a political dynasty, therefore a resignation for crimes considerably less egregious that served as a distraction of what could be credibly argued to be mass murder if it could be proved they fully understood the obvious results of placing elderly patients together with Covid. That's why its laughable to believe that the current SCOTUS is anything other than a continuation of business as usual. In fact, at least it rips away the veneer of legitimacy from corrupt court used to protect corrupt politicians. The system works.

Since Trump appointed a third of its membership in just one term.

It's not entirely due to the ex-president but the Heritage Foundation, and the court justices themselves who have used precedence of someone 400+ years ago who feared witchcraft. The perception of biases with the majority of members is going to create chaos in the judiciary, and the judicial system. Aileen Cannon is a prime example.

It's not ratified. But they pretend women and men have the same rights. If that's the case women should go pit there and file a suit about differential treatment, like inability to walk out on pregnancy, inability to get the same types of treatments as men. E.g. treatment to stop the bleeding, expedient cancer treatments, ability to shot a robber that happens to be in their bodies and is trying to steal their resources or cause bodily harm.
