and not Democratic governors.
He is an RW partisan hack.
Thank you for playing the clip Chris Hayes - I missed that.

(3,596 posts)when the Justices had respect for the Constitution and for their role in safeguarding our democracy. Today the right wing hacks on the Court make no attempt to hide their contempt for the Constitution or the other branches of government.
In my view their very actions warrant impeachment. A member of the judiciary is to be impartial. While I have no doubt that is and has always been nearly impossible to uphold, most previous Justices attempted to at least appear impartial. This band of merry bandits make no bones about who they represent on the court. They are no more partial than an Iranian court.

(758 posts)"Democrat", as in Democrat Party you know they've assimilated the right wing ideology and vocabulary. I met with an old friend several weeks ago I hadn't seen in several years (college roommate). She insisted she was centrist and said she voted for Obama, but everything that came out of her mouth sounded like it came straight from Fox, including inappropriate use of the word Democrat.

Dems should have "occupied" the Supreme Court in 2000 and again with Citizens United, but the party enables by not fighting back.
I'm now "unaffiliated" because Dems just don't get it.

(267,455 posts)I'd love to see some of them impeached as well.
Scalia is a disgrace to the office - how can he use ReTHUG talking points to refer to the Democratic Party. This should be the main discussion right now.

(37,152 posts)...instead of "Democratic" - they constantly enable by their quiet acceptance and by adopting what once were Republican positions instead of fighting for Democratic ones.
Let's face it, if Democratic leaders won't even talk about holding politicians accountable for war crimes or holding Wall Street accountable for economic crimes they're sure not going to talk about impeaching Supreme Court justices.
One party, two faces? Maybe that's what it's really all about.
