Fuck's sake. : |

Who is going to enforce the ethics code? The whole point o the SCOTUS is a complete lack of accountability.

Dems: "Arsonists - be on notice! We shall fine you for every act of arson you commit!"

Arsonists: "How much will the fine—. You know what? Why am I even asking? I'll ignore you and set more fires."

Dems: "Have you no shame!

Arsonists: "Nope. Look, I've love to keep talking but I have to go. I have new fires to start."

NEW: Rep Joe Morelle (D-NY)

“I will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse SCOTUS’ harmful decision and ensure that no president is above the law. This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do—prioritize our democracy”

This is how you build popular support for expanding the court. You do everything possible keep the issue alive.

You don't just say "that won't work" about messaging bills. Because you can easily say the same thing about packing the court right now.

The government doesn't want you to know this, but the scotus seats at the park are free. You can just sit people in them. I have filled 487 scotus seats.

"We're going to get the numbers we need to do a constitutional amendment but also democracy is on the brink of destruction! Both of these things can be true!"

Ugh.

But then how could you be pressured into voting against The Bad Guys With A Knife?

Here's a comment from a different thread.

This will at least put the Rs on record.

And I bet history will judge them harshly too, huh.

I'd like to speak to the SCOTUS manager.

How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy

In its self-described "pied piper" strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new "mainstream of the Republican Party" in order to try to increase Clinton's chances of winning.

The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates "as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right." Clinton's camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be "elevated" to "leaders of the pack" and media outlets should be told to "take them seriously."

The strategy backfired — royally.

Who would have thought that manufacturing consent would manufacture consent?

Yeah but if we all just voted for her, Trump wouldn't have been president and Joe Biden wouldn't be killing Palestinians and none of it would have ever happened

[-] BobDole@hexbear.net 36 points 2 days ago

Remembering back three and a half years ago when “progressives” were “pressuring” Biden to pack the court and they were like “Uh, no that violates norms nerd

"Heh, F--K DRUMPF" I say as I'm dragged off to the camps.
