Let’s start with your Coverup Co-Conspirator Barr first…he must recuse himself of all Criminal IMPeetus cases and investigations esp those he has been implicated too!

And for good measure, let us follow that up with the recusal of your rapist in robe and stolen seat appointee too!

Criminal IMPeetus do not know what fairness means even if it bit him!

Apparently 5-4 is not good enough any more for our discount-aisle Mussolini.

Perhaps now would be a good time to talk about Ginni Thomas’ husband. Read today’s NYT piece on her meddling in WH personnel.

He doubled down on his demand during a press conference on Tuesday in New Delhi, India.

If Obama…
If this asshole gets reflected we are really and truly fucked.

mark my words - he’s setting the stage for refusing to abide by any SC decision, and will justify this by accusing the court of being rigged.

I think that’s very fair, assuming Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Cavanaugh recuse themselves at the same time.
I wonder how much of a functioning society will be left after Trump scorches the Earth?

I don’t know why I was surprised to read this earlier, but holy crap. They’re going all out.

But Donnie’s not a well man. His speech in India is getting quite a bit of publicity. None of it good.

Totally okay with this idea of Sotomayor and Ginsburg recusing themselves, as long as Gorsuch, Kegger Kavanaugh, and Thomas do so as well.

I’ve posted it before but if you have time read the Enabling act of 1933
Those who don’t know history are condemned…
Seriously , this is where we’re heading
Excerpt (The Lander was the constituent states of the German Empire the Volk = people)

It also results in a complete invalidation of the legislative bodies in the eyes of the Volk when, even assuming normal times, the Volk is driven to the polls in the Reich or in the individual Länder almost twenty times in the course of four years. The Reich Government will find the way to ensure that the expression of the will of the nation, once given, leads to uniform consequences for both the Reich and the Länder.

A further reform of the Reich will only ensue from ongoing developments.
Its aim must be to design a constitution which ties the will of the Volk to the authority of a genuine leadership. The statutory legalization of this reform of the Constitution will be granted to the Volk itself.
The Government of the National Revolution basically regards it as its duty, in accordance with the spirit of the Volk’s vote of confidence, to prevent the elements which consciously and intentionally negate the life of the nation from exercising influence on its formation. The theoretical concept of equality before the law shall not be used, under the guise of equality, to tolerate those who despise the laws as a matter of principle or, moreover, to surrender the freedom of the nation to them on the basis of democratic doctrines. The Government will, however, grant equality before the law to all those who, in forming the front of our Volk against this danger, support national interests and do not deny the Government their assistance.

The saddest part is the only R on the bench with the principles to push back on this is a coward.

Is Trump worried that he won’t get a 5-4 decision in his favor? Seems unlikely, but there are no guarantees. Although, it’s said that in this world, the only sure things are death and taxes.

When do the Supremes rule on releasing Donnie’s taxes?

Both should release the statement made by Scalia when he refused to recuse himself from a Cheney/Bush related case.

No one can do anything about it. The justices themselves are the last authorities on the matter.
