What a crazy time in America.

So many devious things had to occur for Trump to make it to the presidency, and continued to occur in order to give him openings to stack the Supreme Court with his own justices.

And, now here we are, watching that Court, that no one respects, as they strive to find the most convincing manner to give him a Get Out of Jail card.

1. United States of crime, corruption, and sociopathy.

For all the world to see.

2. Our Justice system is mostly word play.

After watching much of it I fined it simplistic. Never mind the Crime but what if? No it is the crime, nothing else. IMO.

5. "Never mind the Crime but what if?"

Encapsulates exactly what they are doing.

What if he dies falling out of a 10 story Russian window before he's able to pardon himself?????

3. Almost like this was scripted....

The usual suspects, and perhaps some unusual ones.

4. This ones off script.

But they're trying to stick to the script. Captain Smith continues his soliloquy after the Titanic hits the iceberg, because that's what's in the script. It's why the Supreme Court sounds so ludicrous, their responses all assume a great and all powerful Oz. What if Oz is the criminal, then they need to get back to the great and all powerful Oz script.

We all know that this lunacy wouldn't happen if a Democrat were the subject of these hearings, so we just need to acknowledge that this set of 6 justices are selectively reading the passages that affirm their own great and powerful Oz. It just adds more lunacy to the Monty Python levels of absurdities.

A smarter person than me had the perfect name for their judicial philosophy, "Pretextualism."

6. It most certainly was scripted.

It may take time, but when we prevail, the Supreme Court will be nothing like it is today. Not just in composition, but also by the rules they must abide by in order to avoid the pit of infected sputum that we see today. (With the exception of our three Liberal Supremes, God give them strength.)

8. Why did your god cause or allow the six assholes to assume power?

Why did it “give” them such shitty values and fill them with fascistic cruelty?

I’m glad magical beings aren’t actually real.

9. Trump has come closest to being the anti-Christ in my generation, so we're not in a position to close off

religion, because it's a possible way to reach the masses that support him.

And our three Liberal judges practice. One is Jewish, another Catholic and the third is Protestant. So, bringing up God is appropriate.

11. You described the strength of the three as god-given

If a deity injects certain people with positive attributes, it follows that that same all-powerful deity injects others with negative attributes. But of course this sky wizard is usually only praised for positive things and not criticized for negative things. It has very good PR, especially for a magical being that is just a figment of human imagination.

12. Actually, what I said was directed to them.

You're inflicting your opinions, when the comments were directed to them, who can understand and appreciate it.

7. No one held Moscow Mitch to account-

for not allowing Obama to appoint a Justice in an election year, but allowed a crook to appoint an unqualified Justice weeks before an election!!

[dchill]

10. Mitch knows that what the Constitution does not disallow...

...it allows.

13. We're dealing with justices who lied their way onto the court.

They swore to uphold settled law....Liars.
