Ginni Thomas Urged GOP Caucus To Protest Election Results

Seems that she is in a no- win situation if I am reading this correctly. Her choices are: she refuses to testify, she takes the 5th, she lies, she tells the truth. None of these options work to her advantage,

Lying is foundational to the GQP. They can’t operate without it.

Much like prioritising copulation where fucking is minimal.

Roberts does not have the job of “policing” the court or the justices. The only power he has as CJ is assigning opinions when he is in the majority. If he’s not in the majority he doesn’t even get to do that. The justices are all equal.

She’s weighing taking the 2nd. Live stoopid or die!

They have no worries. They believe they can rewrite it.

They don’t lie. They offer alternative versions of the truth. Big difference, or at least so they say.

Well… I was short of a very expressive British slang term for Ginni

What makes Thomas so significant is that he shows that this line between Trump and pre-Trump Bush-Cheney conservatism may be impossible to draw.

From Josh’s recent post. One can draw a straight line, not just from Sarah Palin to Trump or Bush/Cheney, but from as far back as Nixon. At every step, Republicans have learned the wrong lessons and become more dishonorable and less moored to the law and the Constitution.

A gentle reminder that, if one devoutly believes she is on a mission from G*d, there may be no end to the derp, and possibly no end to like-minded attorneys willing to subscribe to derp-laden pleadings:

“Yes. I’ve read the First Amendment, now show me where it says the Supreme Court can’t install the Messiah,” etc. ad nauseam

In a couple of weeks we will be incredulous about why nothing is being done and how Clarence could possibly remain ion the Court…the level of corruption and our obvious inability to effectively deal with it is one of the great revelations of our times.

These are serious and dangerous manners. Both wife and husband are out of control and they will attack whomever challenges them.

They both feel that their power is absolute.

And I would add that they have, for most part, with some notable exceptions, been consistently rewarded for their perfidies by the voters over that whole time period.

When does Trump becomes a liability, instead of just a freak show?

Am reading The Lady in the Tower The Fall of Anne Boleyn.
Talk about lying to put her in the Tower then off with her head.
The fact that they have so much information from 500 years ago about who said what is really extraordinary even though there is a lot of we will never know.
Anyway, hung out to dry by the powers that lied to benefit themselves and take down more than just Boleyn.
Apparently Britain’s powerful were a lot about lying before anyone knew what America was much less the Rethugs.

Yes it is apparently so that you add those two things together - law and religion - and it gets really derpy.
