Never say "separation of powers" without following up with "checks and balances". These crooked justices and their apologists always tout the first but specifically ignore that second one.

they have been elevated to the rank of Gods .Nothing is beneath them , no law above them. They can do anything ,even try to overthrow the elected government .
Not true. There have been honest justices who served for many years. Ones who are corrupt to begin with become absolutely corrupt, especially now when they are appointed and supported by an incredibly corrupt GOP. Term limits now just means that the few good ones will be kicked out and replaced with more corrupt ones.
I’m almost 70 and there’s never been a court like this in my lifetime it’s time to get rid of this system of lifetime justices these people are too comfortable that they’re above the law. This has to change.
There have been similarly terrible courts in the past: 1857 Dred Scott Blacks are not citizens-- regardless whether free or slave. Key to ensuring a civil war. 1883 - 5 Consolidated civil rights cases - this ruling gave a green light to Jim Crow laws for the next 80 years. 1896 - Plessy v. Ferguson "Separate but [not] Equal" 1905 - Lochner v. New York ruled Due Process had an implied "liberty of contract" resulting in continued oppressive employee working conditions 1927 Buck v. Bell 8-1 Forced sterilization in the name of Eugenics is legal. Oliver Wendell Holmes was the lone dissent? No, he led the majority. 1944 Korematsu v. United States Internment of Japanese American citizens during WWII is A-OK Bowers v. Hardwick (1986): Upheld state anti sodomy criminal law - ruling seems to be based on "obsessive" homophobia (opined Justice H Blackmun) 2000 Bush v. Gore stopped the counting on a 5500 vote preliminary count on the theory that they might not finish in time to meet the safe harbor act. The votes were 5-4 on appointment party lines. (Think of the wars that would have been prevented!-Supreme Court snow jo0bs have consequences) 2010 Citizens United -- this is why the country has regressed in the last 14 years since the uber rich can contribute as much as they want to elect oligarch supporters to office. Super PACs and brainwashing of the much of the former right wing.
Right now foreign governments are targeting all our soft spots as a democracy, destroying social norms, funding nationwide riots, funding insurectionists, planting puppets and traitors in office. Truly this is the biggest test America has ever faced.
They are not suppose to make the laws but just interpret those that have been passed by the congress and signed into law by the President ,who is also suppose to carry out the laws .
AMEN Brian !!!!!!!! Alito has the right to every American woman's uterus, but can't discuss, ask, tell his wife to stop flying flags. In your word Brian... RIGHT!
Schumer needs to act. He needs to respond to Roberts with one last request for a consensual meeting. If Roberts denies this again, the Senate needs to issue a subpoena to appear. If he does not insist, then our constitutional separation of co-equal powers is meaningless
And Trump will get to seat 2 more MAGA justices. Think of that for a moment. A full MAGA SCOTUS thru 2050 and beyond! This election is more important than just 4 years. Tho if Trump got in does anyone think he will leave? We've just discovered he stole the 2016 election! Tried again in 2020. He does learn from mistakes. 2024? They plan on it.
@vswangren - I agree that they have no shame, but I think they all have oversized egos and are very aware of history and their prominent place in it. While we probably cannot have a successful impeachment, I think even an unsuccessful impeachment would humiliate them because that would be stuck to them forever ... like a Post-It Note stuck to their forehead.
Republican party is just one large criminal network now. Roberts is part of it. I will never forget that Kavanugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett perjured themselves to get those seats
Yes, they have to escalate this. Send subpoenas to Roberts, Alito, Thomas. If they ignore them, arrest them and drag them before Congress. This is serious as our democracy and country is at stake. Doing nothing is not an option.
Has nothing to do with age. He’s not going to jail. First time offender with a clean record, former president with secret service protection. It’s not happening.
Brian, thank you so much for bringing us the comments and thoughts of Mark. You both bring such important issues to the table. My grandfather always said, pertaining to politics, if you don’t have an answer or a suggestion to resolve a matter, keep quiet. Watching the news now and reflecting on his words, I can understand more and more every day. You, along with your guests, always fully explain what the problems are, how it will impact our nation and what needs to be done to correct them. I appreciate you so much for doing all the critical thinking for us and bringing it to light in what, believe, is a real bipartisan way. This is, without saying, That you have the education and the common sense that so many of our young leaders need. Congratulations on your beautiful channel And remember to be kind to yourself always!
You on the wrong court case but I'll chime in. How is it that the NY Supreme court not recognize the statute of limitations, how can they magically turn misdemeanor charges into felonies and how can Cohen be a creditable witness when he served time in prison for perjuring myself to congress.
Alito's recusal is required by law " 28 U.S.C. Section 455". If a Supreme Justice cannot follow the law should warrant immediate removal as they are unfit for the job!
It does not get more disgraceful than a supreme court judge hanging the American flag upside down . He should be severely reprimanded after an extensive interview ,possibly removed from the court intirely .
I'm shocked that Roberts refused to meet with the senators!!! That's pretty outrageous! Marc Elias is remarkably calm about all this. I find it very alarming.
Dick Durbin is CLEARLY not going to accept John Roberts' refusal to his 'invite' to discuss the Alito issue. Durbin should LET IT FLY to enforce Roberts to come in and testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And I'm Not referring to flags!
Roberts showing such arrogance and his refusal to address the courts lack of ethics is really bothersome. Their power has gone to their heads and they need to be penalized for lack of ethics and disregard for the law/Constitution. I don't want people like these justices making our life choices.
They aren't about holding the executive branch accountable, as they oppose putting Trump on trial for anything, even an attempted coup. They are simply about attacking the Democrats.
They won't hold the SC accountable, when the SC is doing what they want. We absolutely MUST vote blue, top to bottom and get super majority in both houses so we can address these TRAITORS and their BS!!!
I am so grateful to you for your show. You have explained so well. Much I would have known or understood before. I thank all of your participants as well.

America has to hold these people accountable. We have allowed too much corruption and too many crimes to happen in our institutions and that is why we are about to become a dictatorship. Hold our leaders just as accountable as the citizens. 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
I wish we had the same question on the ballot as we do with lower courts - you vote YES or NO simply if you plan to retain that judge or not. They were never a problem before, but they are DEF a problem now. IE Thomas being a damn sugar baby proved him to be partial for accepting lavish, luxury gifts. He accepted those gifts. That’s so messed up.
There have been bad Supreme Courts before, who caused decades of injustice and misery for black people in the US, among other things. There are serious consequences to having corrupt or bigoted Supreme Court justices.
These judges should be stood down how can we have faith when the highest Court in the land has gone Rogue!!!! Isn't this Election Interference AGAIN??💙💙💙
You may not realize that the young ones learn from the older ones and they can all represent all constituents of all backgrounds and ages.

We'll need a super majority in the House and Senate if the necessary legislation is going to become law, but it's what will happen in Roevember. Voting Blue is the right decision for everyone who cares about the American people, country and planet. That's what I'm doing to reckon with our Mother Earth and Mother Nature and Democracy will survive.
Its crazy how businesses, organizations, schools, industries, and other government entities all over this country has a code of ethics and conduct and social media policy but SCOTUS doesn't.
As of November 2023, there is a code of conduct for the Supreme Court: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct_for_Justices_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States
The very best thing about Democracy Docket is it informs us of what is going on in the rest of the country, not making sensational headlines but definitely matters right now.

Never say "separation of powers" without following up with "checks and balances". These crooked justices and their apologists always tout the first but specifically ignore that second one. It's semantic infiltration to stop us from remembering that in our system of government it is more important that no branch is all powerful or totally immune from the other two than it is that they mostly stay out of each other's way. Power must be made to check power.
The Supreme Court has lost all credibility.
When Kamala becomes President I hope that all judges can be held accountable for there actions!
Politicians are more interested in keeping there jobs, rather than DOING THEIR JOBS.
Term limits for everyone. One election, one term (however long we see fit) and then go HOME and live under the legislation you helped create.
they have been elevated to the rank of Gods .Nothing is beneath them , no law above them. They can do anything ,even try to overthrow the elected government .
You are generalizing. Some actually care about doing the job for the people.
Term limits for supreme Court justices are desperately needed, because absolute power corrupts absolutely 100% of the time
I bow to your wisdom sir
Absolutely true just like the President does eight years they need to do the same thing.
Not true. There have been honest justices who served for many years. Ones who are corrupt to begin with become absolutely corrupt, especially now when they are appointed and supported by an incredibly corrupt GOP. Term limits now just means that the few good ones will be kicked out and replaced with more corrupt ones.
For all judges
…also rules and punishments.
The Chief Justice refusing a meeting is them saying that they think they're above the law and don't have to answer to anyone.
I’m almost 70 and there’s never been a court like this in my lifetime it’s time to get rid of this system of lifetime justices these people are too comfortable that they’re above the law. This has to change.
Especially since Trump’s appointed justices were all in their 40s. We should not have to endure them for the next 40+ years.

There should never be a job which has no accountability. This leads to corruption!
@verabaker5385. Agree! Can you imagine having a job with no accountability and you still have the same job for life. This makes no sense.
Right now foreign governments are targeting all our soft spots as a democracy, destroying social norms, funding nationwide riots, funding insurectionists, planting puppets and traitors in office. Truly this is the biggest test America has ever faced.

Never thought I'd see the day where our own Supreme Court would intentionally contribute to the downfall of our country.
Me neither!!! It's totally twisted my melon!
You are so right.
That's what happens when the minority has to cheat to stay in power.
They don't see it that way. They want 34 reelected so they can make America a Christian Nationalist country.
Really? We were under separate but equal for a century.
The chief justice is as complicit as the others. Alito and Thomas need a special prosecutor. NOW!
Chief Justice stating, quiet clearly, that they are above the law.
AMEN Brian !!!!!!!! Alito has the right to every American woman's uterus, but can't discuss, ask, tell his wife to stop flying flags. In your word Brian... RIGHT!

Tell Schumer! Google his email address.
Alito must resign or be impeached. To ask him to recuse himself legitimizes and minimizes January 6.
Impeach alito thomas and Robert's now. Throw them off the court. Before they find a way to hand the white house to trump. And they will.
I wouldn’t be surprised on that.
Stage is set. All the oligarchs men are in their finery ready to mete out the law of the land. Sounds like a PK Dick tale awaits.
It's not just a possibility, it's a nailed on certainty.

Keep the 🔥 on Roberts; something about his 3-monkey approach smells as shady as the confirmation hearings for about 4 SCOTUS justices.
The silence from the other justices is deafening.
If we can't impeach them ... EMBARRASS them.
As with trump, none of these judges appear to care if they are embarrassed; they have no moral compass
@vswangren - I agree that they have no shame, but I think they all have oversized egos and are very aware of history and their prominent place in it.

We have allowed too much corruption and too many crimes to happen in our institutions and that is why we are about to become a dictatorship.
Hold our leaders just as accountable as the citizens.
🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
Thank you Brian and Marc for the work you do!
The Supreme Court has just said "subpoena me" or "investigate me" to Congress and the President. Subpoena them and investigate them!
It's an evil thing for democracy when a candidate will not accept the vote of the people. Alito.
A true HYPOCRITE!!
How do you spell republican: HYPOCRITE
I wish we had the same question on the ballot as we do with lower courts - you vote YES or NO simply if you plan to retain that judge or not.
They were never a problem before, but they are DEF a problem now. IE Thomas being a damn sugar baby proved him to be partial for accepting lavish, luxury gifts. He accepted those gifts. That’s so messed up.
There have been bad Supreme Courts before, who caused decades of injustice and misery for black people in the US, among other things. There are serious consequences to having corrupt or bigoted Supreme Court justices.
These judges should be stood down how can we have faith when the highest Court in the land has gone Rogue!!!! Isn't this Election Interference AGAIN??💙💙💙
We should subpoena Martha Ann to ask her, under oath, if she did the flag flying.
Some of SCOTUS and there spouses are corrupted. Those individuals have too be held accountable!👍🏻🇺🇲
The old guard of Dems should make way for Dems like jasmine crockett
I'll definitely make room for her.
And Jared Moskowitz
I am mightily impressed with so many of the young Democrat representatives!
You may not realize that the young ones learn from the older ones and they can all represent all constituents of all backgrounds and ages. If they are doing their jobs, why should they "make way" for someone just because they are younger? I do absolutely love Crockett. She is a fantastic member and representative. She is an attorney and is so highly intelligent.
@@williamparadis3058My two faves but don’t forget Maxwell Frost(FL). I love these Democrats in Red States fighting the fight and holding their own. Respect.
Insurrectionist judge must go now.
Judges, plural.
They need to be held accountable!!! What does it mean , “No one is above the law” ?
These corrupted judges must be kicked out supreme court
Exceptional video 🎉Gentlemen.
Supreme Court should have term limits
Or maybe abolished.
Scotus is NOT above the law, just as the president or ANY public servant.
They clearly are....
Then why are they getting away with breaking the law?
@@Jmamelia We are not as active as we should be in demanding they be kept to their oath and standards. Instead of commenting here, call your representatives, the DOJ, whomever YOU PAY TO WORK FOR YOU and demand they do their jobs.

@@Mr.Smith_777 I do call not only my Representative’s but the Maga representatives also.
They have not silenced my voice.
We have to take back the house and keep the Senate if anything’s going to be done to this dysfunctional Supreme Court.
Why not suggest impeachment?! There are numerous egregious acts from this court! Why do we tolerate this?
Tell me which republicans in congress will vote for that
As always, thank you to both of you for great analysis! Can’t wait to read your book Brian!
The Senate Holds Hearings and ultimately Confirms (or denies) Supreme Court positions.
If they can Confirm they should also have the power to Impeach.
The message is loud and clear! If you care about justice in America, vote for President Joe Biden💙💙💙and all Democrats.
💯!!!!
Let's get the *BLUE TSUNAMI* Rolling!!

We'll need a super majority in the House and Senate if the necessary legislation is going to become law, but it's what will happen in Roevember. Voting Blue is the right decision for everyone who cares about the American people, country and planet. That's what I'm doing to reckon with our Mother Earth and Mother Nature and Democracy will survive.
@gwayne919 well said! 💙💙💙
If you believe in Democracy, Equality and Quality of Life then vote RED..Biden has done nothing for you and never will.What has he done for you?
@@flowers6576
It will be a dull sparkle..damp squib!
A nothingness 😅
Its crazy how businesses, organizations, schools, industries, and other government entities all over this country has a code of ethics and conduct and social media policy but SCOTUS doesn't.
As of November 2023, there is a code of conduct for the Supreme Court: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct_for_Justices_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States
@@dmann1115
But no enforcement.
Three branches is supposed to provide checks and balances.
Checks are now the bribes being paid to these jerks! Being in government now is just a source of income...no decent government provided!
Vote Blue to protect your constitutional rights, freedoms, and the rule of law. Vote for decency and honesty! Vote Blue! BIDEN/ HARRIS 2024!
Always good to watch you guys !!! Thank you !
The very best thing about Democracy Docket is it informs us of what is going on in the rest of the country, not making sensational headlines but definitely matters right now.
Brian, your political coverage is by far the best! If only other democratically minded people were all like you! Bravo!
Thank you, Mark, for everything.
In Canada, there are also 9 Supreme Court Justices, but the automatic retirement age is 75. That seems logical.
Thank you for the work you are both doing! I just signed up for Democracy Docket 👍
