Analogy for today’s political climate:
Saw on the news that the Orange line on Metro was experiencing delays. Was distantly glad that I wasn’t on the train. Went to the mechanic to pick up my car, where it promptly cut back off before I could drive it off the lot. Guess who’s on the train now? 😒
Lesson: Stop voting for things that could adversely impact you because you think it can’t or won’t happen to you. #LifeComesAtYouFast #Vote #Resist #ExpandTheCourt

This man knows the history, he helped create it. We must heed his advice and expand the supreme court to thirteen, to match our federal court system.

"We'll be watching your hiring practices..." Nothing to see here, just new shots over the bow - remember in 303 Creative, she was never asked to make a website against her bigoted beliefs - this is SCOTUS cherry-picking hallucinated cases in order to legislate from the bar, but the #GQP #GOP is okay w/ that.

The 6 MAGA Supreme Court justices even control which cases SCOTUS reviews: it takes 4 to accept a case, and we only have 3.
Remember: SCOTUS only accepts ~3% of appeals. That's terrible, and there's no excuse. #ExpandTheCourt #ExpandSupremeCourt. I like 29, but we can fit more.

Raw Story:
'Corrupt' Supreme Court is 'just making stuff up' to deliver wins for the right: Lawrence O'Donnell
The Supreme Court is not simply "corrupt" — it is actively fabricating facts and accepting lies in order to deliver culture war wins for the Republican Party, argued MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell on Wednesday.

Raw Story:
Former GOP congressman explains why Supreme Court expansion might help beat Trumpism
Biden... not enthusiastic about the idea of legislation to expand... the court, warning that it would be a "mistake" that would "politicize it maybe forever."
But that ship sailed long ago, argued former Congressman David Jolly (R-FL)... it may be one of the only options to bring balance to the justice system.

If President Biden really thinks that expanding SCOTUS would "politicize" the court, he just hasn't been paying attention. The court is ALREADY politicized. It's always been politicized to some degree, but it seem particularly bad right now. Expanding it to, say, 15, would make it nearly impossible to totally change the tenor and balance of the court during one or even a couple of presidencies.

It's now law here: I cannot discriminate against you because of your religion, but you can discriminate against me because of your religion. Expand the illegitimate Supreme Court.

We will see businesses put signs out front, publicly shaming us. "We Don't Serve Trans" "Faggots Not Welcome Here" - all completely legal. When you literally legislate from the bench to overturn gay rights laws in state after state, you are corrupt. If Biden doesn't run on #ExpandTheCourt to bring some legitimacy back to our #SCOTUS, he's an idiot.

Never mind #ExpandTheCourt....we can simply remove at least 4 SCOTUS wingnuts on their own malfeasance and criminal activity alone, and replace them with actual progressives or even Leftists.
But, gotta respect "separation of powers" even when it only exists to defend unequal wealth and corporate power and White Supremacist privilege, right?
Funny you should say that:
I am going to be blind with rage at some SCOTUS decisions later this week. I can just feel it.
"The Supreme Court May Preemptively Ban a Federal Wealth Tax. As the justices wrestle with rapidly declining public esteem and multiple ethics controversies, taking up a case that could protect billionaires from wealth taxes before Congress can even pass them is an interesting choice.'"

What kind of judge writes an article saying "this article is lying to you" without having first read that article? While claiming he is above reproach?!?
- A corrupt one. That's the kind of judge who writes those articles. Ooh, maybe they'll lecture us some more from the podium of another conservative convention...

Right! Expect the Supreme Court to review this decision soon, too.
It's perfectly on-message for the SCOTUS majority.
#ExpandTheCourt. I like 23 justices. Or more.
