BREAKING: MAGA world breaks into a cold sweat as Senator Richard Blumenthal demands major changes to the Supreme Court to crack down on the blatant corruption of Republican justices like Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
This is way overdue...
"I couldn't be more worried. You know, the judicial system has no armies, has no police force," Blumenthal said during an appearance on Morning Joe. "Its orders are obeyed because of its credibility, because people trust it. It has squandered that trust."
"The ones who have squandered it most irresponsibly are the highest court justices," he continued. "We've worked for a code of ethics, been rejected by Republicans. We've worked for an inspector general. My proposal is the judicial branch have an inspector general, just like every other agency of government."
Blumenthal called for an inspector general to oversee the justices to ensure that they start following their own rules after it was revealed that Alito displayed a MAGA symbol outside of his house after the 2020 election.
The symbol in question was an upside-down American flag meant to indicate "distress" that Biden was supposedly stealing the election — at the same that Alito was helping decide election cases. Alito has claimed ignorance and blamed his wife.
"The Supreme Court has no code of ethics, uniquely among the branches of government," Senator Blumenthal went on. "So I think it is a moment of reckoning for our democracy in a very real sense because of the trust that has been lost in our judiciary. I think we have a bipartisan obligation, we ought to come together as Republicans and Democrats because this issue is bigger than either party and any of us individually."
Additionally, Blumenthal is calling for Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves from Trump's immunity case and all others involving him. It's an incredibly reasonable request that these criminal corrupt hacks will almost certainly refuse.
"No one would have believed it," Blumenthal went on. "Justice Alito should not sit on any of these cases involving Donald Trump, he ought to recuse himself. Here is the challenge to chief justice Roberts. The United States Supreme Court's credibility is plummeting, lower than perhaps even the united states congress, and that's saying something."
"It is due to the Supreme Court's own self-inflicted wounds," he added. "Alito and Thomas directly involved in the January 6 insurrection, now they're going to sit on cases involving pivotal legal questions? Absolutely unthinkable."
"I think that Chief Justice Roberts has to take leadership of this court," he went on. "He has to tell these justices that they have no business sitting on the court. It will still be able to decide the cases but not with justices Alito and Thomas because, by virtue of flying the flag upside-down, whether it was his wife or not, it was his own. Justice Thomas, through his wife, being involved in helping to organize the insurrection, both have a direct interest here."
Blumenthal is absolutely right. The American people are being terrorized by a lawless court. These right-wing justices are violating all ethical norms and raking in bribes. They belong in prison, not deciding our most important cases.

#StateOfTheUnionAddress should be trending at the top. The fact that it is not is just another clear indication that the new owner has a big, fat thumb. #Post He’s also insecure.
@JoyceWhiteVance At the age of 52, I am 2 years into my second career. I was a teacher, now I’m a nurse. I love my job. I get to travel. Biden is good. Him being in charge feels like… like being 6-0 with a seasoned QB, because Joe can control the ball.
Twitter chief Elon Musk and two men with hundreds of thousands of followers ranting about a completely made up "report" about Ukraine tweeted by some random account without even bothering to check if the tweet they're reacting to is actually true or not.
@MuellerSheWrote Happy Belated Birthday- you’re fantastic. Long time listener, first time tweeter (to you, I think… though there were many started in the bathroom at work but never finished because, ya know, not enough rewrite time). This one sent with just a cursory glance! Looking good chica!
@karaswisher now I love you even more for giving thoughtful, intelligent answers to the Elon-Twitter questions that @Scaramucci just blah-voided. Rarely do I interrupt my ketchup~n~fry eating to scream at the noise that won’t answer back. Whata bunch of dodgy folks you deal with.
California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy.
Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.
