    As a Fed employee I was not permitted to accept dinner at a professional conference, could not “win” a random drawing at a professional conference even though every one had the same chance I did in the drawing- yet Thomas or Alito were able to receive trips, gifts. Makes no sense.

You can point towards that as being what people call democrat or republican leaning, but that is really not the case. So NONE of them are partial towards either party when they vote - they are not thinking of party. Do they have bias thoughts - of course they are only human. Can any of them be less of a perfect person - yes. But politics or impartiality seldom if ever plays into their votes.

      Thank you. Spot on. I respect Senator Whitehouse, but he and the other Dem Congressmen have got to stop treating John Roberts as if he's not in on the game. I don't know if it's naivete or just blindness. Roberts has been trying to deny black folks the vote since he was a young lawyer. Why that is no one in these MSM interviews ever brings it upbor seems to know. However, just Google what Elie Mystal has to say about Roberts in some major interviews and writings. He excoriates him.

      @@andrewpinson1268 Sure they do Andy boy. The Constitution didn't address or make laws for many circumstances. However, over the years various Supreme Court justices have ruled in such a way that allowed the US Government to exercise power that it didn't implicitly have. For instance, there's no mention of God, immigration, abortion, or even democracy in the Constitution. Multiple justices made rulings based on their nebulous interpretation of the Constitution and thereby made up laws to suit a current political agenda.

That does not mean they wrote laws. And I have read all about the various justices of the past who were more than a little political. The reason why there are still such cat fights in Congress is to put a liberal or conservative judge on the SC. That does not mean that they are immoral or corrupt or that the always rule in favor of one party or the other. They are voting as Presidents and Congressmen hoped they would due to their interpretation of the Constitution. In the future, the Congressmen need to come up with better things to accuse the judges of to keep them off the High court.

      It’s “their” job to interpret the constitution as it’s written. As we move forward into the 21st century, our borders have changed and we no longer have 13 colonies. The current border was well established long before this century. The courts didn’t mention abortion because it wasn’t legal then but addressed it with Roe vs Wade. This SCOTUS didn’t change anything,they sent it back to the states to decide. Illegal entry into the country isn’t a right. Free healthcare is not a right it’s a privilege. Flying an American flag upside down,sideways or anyway is not illegal. Burning a flag is not illegal. Freedom of expression is a fundamental right. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right. Refusing to use delusional pronouns is a fundamental right. Using them for yourself is a fundamental right but forcing others to use them is infringing upon others rights.
      Over the decades the SCOTUS has been made up of both parties majorities. Please explain to me why you feel so offended that a judges wife flew her personal flag on her property upside down? Did you get upset when the Palestinian flag was placed in the congressional office of Talib? Y’all liberals are so hypocritical when you don’t have complete control and say over everyone. At least Trump never authorized a former president to be killed by lethal force if the sitting president wanted the boxes HE sent back. He never showered with his daughter inappropriately, never stabbed Israel, our strongest ally in the back, never opened the border to anyone and everyone. just wait until November and you’ll be Big mad

They are not supposed to display political bumper stickers or signs, donate to political campaigns, or do political endorsements. Alito has come out publicly for MAGA with these flags. This undermines the public trust and calls his decisions into question. The gifts and trips Alito and Thomas have taken and not reported are far more egregious imo, but added together, they need to be censured, investigated, and likely impeached. They can’t be trusted to be even slightly impartial. Also, you can’t deny that the refusal of McConnell to confirm a new Justice during an election year under Obama, then pushing in 2 justices during Trump’s presidency was fair. Personally I’d like to see judicial independence remain. Perhaps a board of judges who police other judges and are authorized to investigate and punish judges for ethical infractions or misapplying the law with the Supreme Court being subject to them also.
