As I learn more about behaviors, and attitudes of Supreme Court Justice Thomas and Alito, I am reminded of how American society has blindly assumed a certain level of integrity to individuals in government especially the Supreme Court. Call me ignorant, but I surprised that any individual in such a position would decive the public as Thomas and his wife have by accepting expensive trips and gifts from wealthy donors. I mean the fella purchased his mothers home, and apid for a relatives tuition! How in your face was that! And Alito, upside American flag and some other bizzare flag issue to show solidarity with the extreme right. Time to evaluate how we select these individual, as well as creating ethical policies that govern their behaviors. They should not have a free ride while determining how Americans should conduct themselves. Hypocricy
Excellent snapshot of the miserable condition of SCOTUS and lack of accountability at he highest level. There is absence of check and balance and Dems have failed to act on it. How can Democracy prevail in its true sense with its weakest pillar ....... The Judiciary.
Biden was not only ok with the loser of the popular vote building the anti due process and anti equal protection court, he was also on the appointment panel that roasted opponents like Anita Hill.
My family is German, my grandparents were first generation US citizens. I don't recall being brought up to go after people that come after me. Interesting how Mrs. Alioto's phrasing is so exactly Trump's.
It is a not so subtle hint of Nazi-like persecution of perceived enemies, which like you said, is just like what we hear from Trump, who is a big fan of Hitler, whose book of speeches was kept at Trump's bedside & is the only book Trump is known to have read.
“A reminder once more SCOTUS has (almost) never upheld justice in America, but largely been the obstacle to justice. The receipts back it up throughout history.”
Is your "almost" the territory of the Warren Court? If so, who else is included in this club? And if not . . .?

We have laws, we have rules.....SO.....ENFORCE THEM....DAH.

Abraham Lincoln had an inclination of what is happening today when he said:
“America will never be destroyed from the outside, If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves!”
A house divided cannot stand

An outright refusal of impartiality should be cause for dismissal.
Just curious. In your piece, you said:

How can we effectively move the needle towards impeachment? Do we write our representatives?
Have been writing to mine, both are in hotly contested races
Yes. We need to get Dems to expand the court IMO.
You didn't mention Clarence Thomas's wife, who was deeply involved in the January 6th insurrection.
Why hasn't she been indicted?😡
The rot runs so deep.
I couldn't agree more!
