Alito is not a revolutionary, he is a reactionary. Alito will take us back to the 1700s. He and Thomas don’t understand that when a fascist government is installed that they will be little more than rubber stamps with no actual power, just as the courts of Nazi Germany after Hitler was elected. If they disagree with Trump or his group they will be gone.

I am glad to hear what you have said. I would be glader if an elected Democrat had said it.

No guts … they bring white gloves to a brawl

We say that in the United States no one is above the law, but it isn’t true. The Supreme Court is above the law. Who has the steel to put an end to the steal?

Darn good question. These 9 robed wizards are pretty much the top of the food chain. I don't see any thing in today's political climate that can really hold them in check. Public opinion doesn't seem to work at all for the majority. At least the 3 liberal women on the court are speaking out.

It seems that the Chief Justice is one of the bad actors, for all practical purposes.

Absolutely.

What the hel is going on? What are we doing? Two members of the SUPREME COURT are engaging in seditious behavior that is borderline treason. Siding with violent insurrectionists. Supporting criminals who were CONVICTED of brutal crimes against law enforcement. Considering giving full immunity to a despicable creature such as Trump. Good Gawd. We must get those two off the Court, by whatever legal means are available. Now!

Now is not the time for us regular folk to be overly concerned with niceties of language. It looks like treason, it talks like treason, and it's out to destroy democracy. I call it treason!

Alito simply has to go. He is a seditionist, he is a member of the 9. That simply does not compute. Thomas has to go too. Please, he is taking money, vacations, financial help for mom from wealthy donors with cases in front of him. Bribes somehow not seen as bribes. Income not reported, Can we impeach them? How?

We should not count on a governmental process that addresses Alito and Thomas. It is absolutely not going to happen.

One of my old bosses had a saying. When confronted with a problem— change the dynamic. And the way to do that is stop electing MAGA.

My Congressman is one of those MAGA people who adores Fascists. He keeps getting re-elected.

Is it not time to act?

In simple terms, Alito is a turncoat. Enemy domestic. He should be impeached; or censured by the Senate.

The simplest thing to do is re-elect Biden. Yet I have yet to hear a single Republican — not one — say that they will accept the results of the election if Trump loses. Alito seems like small potatoes when we consider what these statements mean for the country.

You have to wonder if, say in 1970, a justice flew a flag of the Black Panthers or the Weatherman.

A group of women who live on Long Beach Island in New Jersey dressed up in red as hand maids and marched silently in front of Alito’s home in the pouring rain.

If anything saves this country, it will be the female vote. Don’t count on the vote of white males. Most of them elect the dumb as rocks Tommy Tubervilles.

If nothing is done to address Alito and Thomas, game over!

I am seething with anger at Biden. I will vote for him and am writing a lot of postcards encouraging people to vote, but am pissed off as hell. This election would be a no brainer had Biden moved over for a younger, more charismatic candidate. But no, his ego is gigantic.

I am in with most of Biden's policies but this election is gloves off.

I am angry as hell that this election is even close. It shouldn't be, but it is because Biden couldn't let go of the fucking wheel. =

I agree! He should’ve stuck to his original statement of being a “transitional figure“ and passed the baton to any number of very qualified younger candidates.

But we at where we are and have to prevent a Trump presidency at all cost.

This is one reason why I am down on Americans these days. Alabama finally had a good Senator in Doug Jones. A moderate Democrat with a stellar record of public service. Even George Will wrote approvingly of Jones.

What does Alabama then do? They toss out Jones in favor of Tommy Tuberville. Who, I might add, recklessly damaged the US military and families.

Says a lot. Normally I'd say something derogatory about Alabama, but that kind of idiocy is happening across the map. Never have I seen a population so willing to vote against their own best interests.

It is a jarring thing in the South where I live. The working poor here keep electing people who want to bury them even further in poverty.

Amazing commentary, Steve. These are dangerous times. MAGA has been infiltrating all over America at every level. They must be stopped. Our democracy must survive. We must link arms together in service of what we the people represent.
