[Rhiannon12866]

Supreme Court Justices appear to be colluding with Trump to ‘catch and kill’ his insurrection case… Can we use the F word yet? - Aired on 05/01/2024.

1. That's their JOB!

2. Is Sammy the rat alito

A useful or useless idiot? He thinks outgoing presidents should leave in a peaceful manner and live in peace. How many haven’t done that Sammy? One. Your boss. Your god. He didn’t leave peacefully. Whose mistake was that Sammy? How many former presidents have suffered for lack of immunity Sammy? None. I’m not religious Sam but you and your kind make me hope there is a hell.

4. That's the thing, we've had a peaceful transition throughout our history - though there was fear of bombs before Lincoln

Was sworn in. It took TFG to attempt to overthrow the government. How does this "obey" the Constitution??

3. If rump is convicted of election interference,

Can we remove his Supreme Court appointments because they were not his to have, and neither was the Presidency.

[BOSSHOG]

5. I SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH THAT MR CHAIRMAN

Let’s vote on this common sense proposal for the sanity of America Now.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. I've thought of that, too. But they all have lifetime appointments and this would be unprecedented

However, so is TFG - no president in our history has ever contested an election nor attempted to overthrow the government.

9. And the Supreme Court Justice's wife helped organize it,

And advocate for it, along with her and her husband's benefactors! Bribery to overthrow the Constitution.

Then voted to Superscede a Supreme Court of a State and allow the Insurrectionist in Chief on the ballot, over the will of the people!

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Excellent point and I fail to understand it

Allowing a twice impeached former president on the ballot, facing 88 criminal charges and four more upcoming trials, let alone run to lead the government he attempted to overthrow!

7. Seems to this has been obvious for awhile......

......Trump appeals that he has absolute immunity in DC court

.......Jack Smith ask scotus to take up quickly and decide

........scotus takes its' time to decide to send it to appeals court

.......appeals court took a little while to get i's dotted and t's crossed for their unanimous decision that he does not have absolute immunity

.......scotus rather than accepting lower appeals court then decides to take it up, but schedules it for several weeks later

.......finally scotus addresses everything but the one question as to whether Trump has absolute immunity in the Capital insurrection

8. I could understand a conservative court...

..leaning towards a former GOP president, if the individual wasn't a narcissistic psychopath who had already attempted a coup d'état and is campaigning on undoing the Constitution if reelected.

You'd think members of the highest legal authority in the government would have laughed Trump's lawyer out of the room but they didn't.

And you'd think they'd recognize Trump for what he is and represents and want him out of the government, same as the rest of the sane population so the country will remain a 'Constitutional Republic' and not become a mere toy for Trump to play with.

But apparently, that's not how they are thinking.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. You're right, the justices are supposed to be there to interpret existing law

So why would they even consider supporting an obvious con man who not only doesn't give a thought to the law, but constantly breaks it and has been indicted on criminal charges - obviously for breaking the laws of the land??

[creeksneakers2]

11. The questions they were asking were absurd.

The court is there to decide what the law is. By their questioning it was apparent they were deciding what the thought the law OUGHT to be.

13. When Kennedy "retired"/stepped down, THAT was collusion!

It gave TSF a second Justice on the USSC.
