#Ethics #PramilaJayapal #January6
You’re assuming Roberts cares.,,,he DOES NOT
Facts! They have been corrupt for so long it doesn't even phase him. Difference is Trump's corruption brought everything into the light!
Then he needs to be kicked off the bench right along with corrupt Clarence with his insurrectionist wife, and Alito.
Roberts needs to just grow a sack and tell Thomas and Alito both "you will not sit on these cases, I am removing you for the good of the court".
“ grow a sack “. I like that
If Colin Kaepernick was punished for allegedly disrespecting the flag then Justice Alito MUST be held accountable.
@glennw7118, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito blames his wife for the disposition of the flag on his property. Colin Kaepernick had to take the fall on his own despite other NFL football players who were involved while protesting police brutality & social injustice of "people of color" regarding the country's 247 of existence.
im 71, first voted in 1972. i have NEVER seen anything like this. *extremely* disconcerting
Same here. This is not who we are.
Only disconcerting?
When at least 3 of the current Supreme Court Justices have had evidence of their own corruption exposed and nothing is done about it, there has to be some kind of mechanism introduced to take this out of the hands of those who refuse to act.
Same here, 70, and a lawyer licensed in three states. Most federal judges are deservingly revered. The difference is these judges were known to be staunch Republicans who have biased political agendas, rather than required independent objective jurisprudence skills, which is only why they were chosen by Republican Presidents and have brought the current SCOTUS into disrepute by disregarding known ethics rules, seeking personal gains and disrespecting the judicial wisdoms behind prior precedents.
@@TomSpeaks-vw1zp I agree the Founders (and respected Justices from prior decades) would ever expect such knowingly flagrant, repeated and inexcusable ethics abuses. I disagree our Patriots have lost their courage. Do a MSNBC search for the most honorable Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and you'll see this flag incident is minor and recent compared to even more serious recognized and reported abuses seeking redress by a true Patriot, Senator Whitehouse. He is that needed light beam during a storm to guide even a distressed ship again to shore.
@@TomSpeaks-vw1zp they did, which is why they gave Congress impeachment powers over the Court... but a Constitution is only as good as the people's willingness to execute its safeguards. Hamilton warned against the corrosive effect of unchecked factionalism in the Federalist papers, it's one of the reasons they didn't want SC judges elected, so they could stay above the fray--but that has been sabotaged by presidents picking justices based on their partisan beliefs and NOT so much their legal scholarship. Alito's & Thomas's opinions half the time don't even cite any precedent or law, just either their own opinions or "common sense". Beyond their corruption, they are just incompetent as legal scholars.
Politicians should not be allowed to pick Supreme Court justices.
Exactly - It's corrupt politicians who've corrupted the Supreme Court.
Everything in the USA is political almost down to the dogcather in Smalltown USA.
We the ppl should get to pick.
@@elaineisabelle427 Politicians decided themselves that this was too important a decision just to be left to the unwashed masses to decide and so they gave themselves the power to do so.
And until there is an overwhelming demand that they (politicians) change this, things will remain the same.
The problem is that Republicans and their supporters are totally fine with the way the current Supreme Court is deciding things (firmly in favour of Conservatives).
And until the Supreme Court does something that upsets that particular apple cart, things will remain as they are.
Flat out.
The complete lack of accountability encourages the arrogance of these men. They don't care how the public sees them because they know that we can't do a thing about it.
It's the lack of accountability that gives these men the arrogance that they show.
Were they to know that they stood to lose a great deal from their own failures (as judges in the highest court in the land) then perhaps they would not have succumbed to the lure of being corrupted as they have.
I would argue that they've actually been emboldened to go further with the knowledge that the Chief Justice is either a weak and cowardly man, or (worse) just as corrupt as they are.
You could do something. It's just that none of you are patriotic or good (oppresses evil).
Memorial Day: Am I a joke to you?
Under typical procedure, we might not be able to force chief justice Roberts' hand to take clowns Alito and Thomas off these cases (some kind of clown loyalty bit no doubt) so then let's get unconventional. Get congress to step in and make things happen! The US has a history of slow moving and conventional approaches to administering justice. That approach doesn't work for this time period. We need to take action on what we can and make new laws, procedures where we can't (such as the dissolution of lifetime appointments to the SC).
Vote blue, one step toward accountability.
it is time the American people DEMAND change!
Face it Thomas and Alito are for sale. Luxury vacations, free $250k moter home, college tuition and a rent free home for their mom. That's all it takes to get the decision you want from them. They are above the law.
Not acting-- they are above the law, ignore the legitimate law. They are corrupt and political, and there is nothing we the people can do except vote blue.
SCOTUS needs term limits....for starters....
ALL government officials should have term limits. I don’t care how good you are. If you’re holding an office for too long, you WILL BE corrupted.
Agree 💯‼️ there should be NO...ZERO 🚫 lifetime appointments for any judges at any level!!!‼️
Roberts is a disgrace - what a coward .
He’s no coward. He’s a Trumper. He is betraying the country. He’s evil.
All judges swear to support the Constitution. They have broken their oath. 📜🇺🇸💙
And meanwhile in Georgia, they are lighting their hair on fire because the prosecutor dated a member of her own office.
I wasn't going to bring that up... but yeah. They are such brutal hypocrites!!!
That's because there trying to get the case thrown out. Even though everyone knows trump did it the judge court better leave fanni on that case or trump will get off and keep up his corruption
After she told her underlings she would punish anyone doing the same.
And give him hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. lol
@@SuperStoner86whatever helps you sleep at night I guess but maybe you should try and stop getting your news from Alex jones and newsmax
Clearly Justice Roberts is not up to his job.
“When a Supreme Court justice flies the flag of the United States upside down, that is an abomination” - I couldn’t agree more!
Alito is a coward, this should warrant a impeachment inquiry.
He is also a traitor.
So are you
@@cosmiccowboy7764 diaper don the patron Saint of sore losers has the most subservient and easy to bend over cultists. Too many melanias
@@cosmiccowboy7764
So I should be impeached ?
You are of the opinion that SCOTUS should be partisan?
Do you enjoy your freedom?
I have many questions for folks such as yourself. Yet just one more for now.
When you do something wrong do you point a finger a others and blame them Or do you stand behind your convictions cuz that is the right thing to do?
@@cosmiccowboy7764
No snippy reply.
Maybe you fit the above description?
IMPEACH AND CONVICT ALITO AND THOMAS!!!!
For a start.....
Hard to do when almost half of congress is in on it.
@@mile_high_topherlike your corrupt cannibal. Corruption everywhere
hasnt happen yet and most likely never will
Omg... for what? Seriously, for what?
For what?
Correction: Roberts has no interest in “controlling his court”. He is MAGA.
Everybody that’s not a far left extremist is “MAGA” according to you lunatics. That’s why you’ve alienated a majority of Democrats, myself included.
What an opportunity Trump must have spotted. "If the electors scam failed, he could always fall back on the supreme court" he must have thought. Step in congress. It's up to you now to turf these jerks off the bench.
I do not believe that John Roberts is MAGA, but he is a
C JINO
CHIEF JUSTICE IN NAME ONLY
RECUSE????
STEP DOWN!!!
Ailto and Thomas must be pressed into retiring!!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
this is why your vote counts. Vote 2024
True. Traitor joe needs to go
@@AmericasinertiaFY&DJT 😮😅🇺🇸💯👈
I won't be voting for either candidate
@@SuperStoner86 hey if that works for you find, but then you have no right to complain about anything political, you lose the right when you don't vote, not voting is just ignorance on your part, not voting is saying you don't g a f!!!
I voted for Ms Jayapal, I want an Impeachment inquiry.
If we elect Trump you can expect to get more of this kind of crap from now on.
They are so blatant about their corruption… it’s disgusting
It’s not enough for Alito and Thomas to recuse - they must be resign. The American People can see they have taken trips and gifts from billionaires and that is not ethical nor is the behaviour of their wives showing bias in their politics. It is really shameful. Congress must act.
This is beyond just the appearance of impartiality. He must recuse.
Why
There is no rationale to demand recusal. I don't happen to agree, but I could see, as long shot you might seek to impeach due to flag issues. But then that would put at stake almost all the presedrnts of leading schools on the Palestinian protests. But I guess impeachment is all the rage, I mean look at Mayorkis ...You certainly can't support him can you??? You see, it's all a very messy business this cancelling thing!!!
Alito and Thomas should be impeached and removed from the SCOTUS bench.
you should be deported
Biden could have expanded the court, but he's too afraid of rocking the Titanic as is goes down.
This judge is the best thank God for him. Anyone who don't see this probably don't believe in christ
@@frankcrouch7887 That is *_not_* for you to judge.
@@frankcrouch7887 Certainly your illiteracy is poignant.
This is the Roberts court preparing to throw out the election and coronating King Trump.
That is exactly correct - Mike Johnson on stealth position to have GOP majority in House to insure the same outcome if election any where near close.
I'm afraid the fix is in. Biden must mobilize counter to push back HARD
@@Roger-uz2vg If we can flip the House, Preacher Johnson will no longer be Speaker.
Timing will be everything.
can we say 'crowning' please? At a coronation, a monarch takes the crown; they are not 'coronated'.
@@dcy665but you won't. That's wishful thinking. But be clear. The next election is not (or alternatively WILL ALWAYS) be the.most important. 4 years passes quickly enough. It does not matter that much. You might be a little poorer or a little richer but nothing changes that much. We can afford to reach across the divide to embrace our fellow citizens even though they voted the other colour. And if we don't this partisan hatred will continue and in fact, get worse.
The Justices ARE accountable. To their billionaire sponsors.
no republican condemnation ,says everything
Guess what MAGA doesn't like the uni-party either.
@@SuperStoner86 There is no "uni-party."
The corrupt s. court is helping them and their donors.
They want to control your body, your money (unless it’s a bribe). Sad and disgusting court.
And when they "take over", guns will be next.
An armed citizenry is anathema to a dictatorship.
It will be gradual, but insidious.
...but can't stop their spouses from doing stupid 💩
The SC is along with the entire GOP is giving us the finger saying "what ya gonna do about it!" It's time to show em' Dems, "when they go low we go after em!"
Our most highest court in the land is corrupt????????? What is OUR recourse??????????
Biden with a democratic Congress can legislate over sight of SCOTUS. File a complaint with DOJ. Glenn Kirschner has a video of how to.
The only recourse is something that relies on politicians being able to work without political bias.
Zero recourse! These people have way to much power 🤑
Our recourse is in the Constitution! Congress has oversight and control! Elections have consequences, and YOU 🫵 have the power to take consequential actions!
Use it or lose it!
@@danielmorales1470vote people
I keep remembering how Kaepernic was accused of disrespecting the flag.
Well yes...
But he just kept doubling down. And yes it was.
It is a disgrace
Alito must resign from the Supreme Court.
Roberts is taking kickbacks through his wife too, that’s why he won’t do anything about it.
Corrupt court 😡😡😡
Get rid of a few bad apples now, they are corrupted and not even shameful about it. Thomas and wife are the most corrupted.
If Roberts controlled his court, then the freebies from billionaires would vanish in an instant.
Sounds like Briben
@@Americasinertia Derp, deflect, derp, deflect....
@@PCtransplantthe corrupt cannibal supporters are funny
@@Americasinertia You're barely literate.
@@mile_high_topheryou’re barely there cannibal supporter
Would anyone give credit to any rulings of Supreme Court anymore at this stage?
This seems real big problem.😮
Biden has already disregarded SC rulings twice.
If Thomas and Alito don't recuse, Roberts should step down. We don't need a feckless Chief Justice.
We have 9 KINGS!!! They are about ready to give another person reigns to be a King with them!!! CONGRESS HAS THE DUTY TO ACT!!! The Supreme Court is corrupts, THEY HAVE TO BE PURGED AND REFORMED! CONGRESS HAS THE DUTY DUTY!! To act!!!
Congress can only hold impeachment hearings and make recommendations for a trial in the Senate.
But without a two-thirds majority vote in favor of expulsion there won't be any change.
And with Republicans having worked so hard to get this corrupt majority on the Supreme Court, do you ever think that they'll let matters get that far?
The only way this would ever change is if Democrats had an overwhelming win in the next election. A win that sweeps a great number of Republicans out of office and gives them the two-thirds majority they'd need to do this.
And if you think Republicans have been crying foul up until now about election results . . . Imagine how they'll react if it looks like Democrats are close to getting the two-thirds majority they'd need?
thank goodness they have a picture otherwise they would keep lying and swear he doesn’t smell the stench.
As chief judge Roberts has clearly decided that there are no rules or ethice required of the supreme court justices. Bias is acceptable and laws can be bent to suit the republican party.
Roberts, Alito, Thomas , Kavanaugh - What a despicable statement to our younger generation, particularly those that will aspire to go into law.
Trump has the Chief Justice Roberts is in the pocket of the former guy
The Supreme Court rating may even get as low as Congress' rating.
Could get lower than Trump's! Every rational person against them alongside some wingnuts who think the court isn't corrupt enough for their liking!
Alito is a burn out. The court is nothing more that a vehicle for extra curricular financial benefits. A power rush to indulge in his partisan, ideological hobbies.
Too bad one of his hobbies isn't Writing, because his opinions wouldn't get more than a D+ if you anonymously submitted them in a law class.
Sounds about right. This is certainly not the type of character we were led to believe our judges had when we were taught in school! I think we need to get back to that. Alito and Thomas should be made to travel to a number of grade and high schools and give an account of their character. After such accountings, teachers could then ask their students to show how these men differ from their perceptions of what an SC justice should be!
Impeachment Hearings!
It's pointless to try impeaching them without the required votes in the senate
Ah yes..... Mayorkis!!
Roberts is COMPLICIT! Actions speak louder than mere words. “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents. (1770) - Edmund Burke
ROEmember to VOTE Blue in November!!
It is about time to paint Roberts Yellow Court.
Defund the Supreme Court.
defund the democratic party
How you gonna do that. 🍆.
Idiotic statement
Where is the DOJ in all this? Thomas and his wife broke the law.
Merrik barr turds and herd turds find a trail yet?
Kavanaugh says that Americans will get used to Supreme Court corruption. I disagree mightily.
Maybe. But our current potus is corrupt, disturbing
Look at briben corrupt potus is disturbing
I'd like to believe you. But, a lot of Americans are sure adjusting pretty easily to the idea of a corrupt presidential candidate becoming president.
NEVER will we the people EVER accept a corrupt court!!
He actually said that?!
Oathbreaking insurrectionist
The Thomas and Alito issues need to be front and center in mainstream media until they are forced to recuse. It is just unforgivable to see such blatant disregard for the American constitution and American laws coming from our highest court, where political bias should be nonexistent.
Ive always said " if you cant control yourself in court you cant control yourself in life". That goes for the judges especially, as well as defendants. The SC used to be deeply respected and now has lost all credibility.
They're all about the "supreme" part, court of law not so much
No accountability. Untouchable and they know it.
Canada has an Independent Body which holds their Court to ethical standards
If the winters weren't so cold, I'd be there already! I love 🇨🇦! Been there many times. ❤
@@frogdogink4415 When Trump won in 2016 I told my sibs & cousins it was time to head back to Canada. Our grandparents were Canadian. My one cousin who owned property (a vacation home) in Canada said "they don't want us". Americans can't just waltz into our friendly neighbor anymore. I felt like an orphan
All civilised democracies do, plus term limits.
For a country that celebrates its independence from a monarchy every year, it makes absolutely no sense to give lifetime appointments on the highest court in the land, without scrutiny, ethics or consequence of actions. The same people who will soon decide if a president has more immunity than they have, good luck with that maga. 🤔
Maybe Roberts believes if he can't be famous, he'll take being infamous. Worse Chief Justice ever.
Sen. Durbin needs to get off his duff and do something instead of saying something now!!!🤨
Roberts is a coward. We thought he actually cared. He doesn’t. He’s as bad as Alito and Thomas.
He only cared about keeping up a facade of independent jurisprudence. But Trump twisted the court and that facade was destroyed exposing the corruption.
I wish I could remember where I heard the simple quote: "Supreme Court Justices should be held to a higher standard of ethics than other courts; not lower!"
Biden should immediately add about 4 more justices. Also, an ENFORCABLE code of ethics and term limits.
He shouldn't just recuse himself, he should step down from the SCOTUS.
ahhh, the "LOAN" that you never have to pay back.... we used to call those "BRIBES"...
This kangaroo supreme Court i wouldn't trust them to walk my dog fact fact fact fact fact fact fact!!!!!!!!!
Why not say what it is..Corruption.
Justice Alito and Thomas both need to resign from the Supreme Court. Nither of them respects the constitution or highest code of ethics requirements of that office.
Recusal is too little to ask. He should resign or be IMPEACHED! He and Thomas as well as the others who lied during Confirmation Hearings.
I can't believe this man blamed his wife. Neither him or Thomas will ever recuse themselves from any cases. They have absolutely no ethics. Time to add more to the court. We all know that when there is no accountability to someone, power goes to their heads. They do whatever they feel like doing.
We need to get rid of Roberts, Alito
We the people of good will agree with both Jayapal and Jeffries.
He blames the wife because the people didn’t elect her. So she becomes the scapegoat.
We can impeach 3 now. November MATTERS! BTW if they rule wrong again, Seal Team Six won’t even need overtime.
I dunno. Maybe Mrs. Alito wears the pants in that house, and this is why Alito is so desperate to control other women.
Thank you Jayapal ... respect!
Also the fact that Alito, kept it secret!
Nice to see Rep. Jayapal on MSNBC
This is awful! Alito and Thomas must recuse and MUST be impeached.
When you’re guilty and can’t defend it …blame your wife🎼…DUH DUH DUMB
When you’re guilty and can’t defend it…blame your wife…🎼 DUH DUH DUMB

Alicia, thank you for doing a great job in an important role in our country. You unfailingly look and sound excellent, and you clearly do the homework. We see and appreciate your spotlight on truth.
Cripes! Upon first glance I thought "Alicia" was "Alito". So then I thought you were going to levy an upper cut of sarcasm... but no! Then I realized it was "Alicia" you had typed. Had it been Alito, my response would not have been pretty (though I think you could understand that)!
Roberts, Alito and Thomas all need to go. They are a disgrace to our democracy. We are no longer the America I thought we were.
Why didn’t this come out earlier ? It happened almost three and a half years ago !
I think the neighbors fear retaliation from the far right.
Alito & Thomas should be forced to resign.
He needs to STEP DOWN PERIOD.
He needs to resign
Roberts doesn't try to control his corrupt court.
Clean up the Court. Get moving and stuff in more new blood into the court.
Go Congresswoman Jayapal!!!!! 🇺🇸🩷👍🏼
He couldn't even investigate his own court leaking. A judge who can't solve a simple case. No wonder billionaires just buy judges and verdicts.
The upside-down flag is a legitimate expression of the country being in dire straits.
Justice Roberts is one of the reasons.
Thank you. We needed this, and we’ll need even more tomorrow.
Hopefully someone has a recording of Alito flying the flag himself. That would be epic!
I don't think Robert's has the balls. If he did, we wouldn't be talking about this.
That's a chicken crap way to deal with a pro Biden neigbbor.
the supreme court just allowed ANARCHY! if the game is rigged, then why should people respect laws? ANARCHY!!!!
Come on,you can't equate this to democrats. The congress needs to actually do it's job and get rid of the corrution
I appreciate the republicans speaking out and putting country over party.
How can these justices expect the people to follow the rule of law, when they disregarding our democracy
Roberts is a failure as Cheif Justice
it's a good thing he didn't take a knee!!!
The situation with the supreme court at present. Is America a democracy now?
Just disgusting. I’m disgusted.
That neighbor's doorbell video showing Justice Alito raising that flag should be worth a motorcoach about now, or at least a week vacation on a mega-yacht.
