alito is an idiot.
The Constitution provides 2 tools for dealing with a corrupted SCOTUS.
Expanding the Court and impeachment of judges.
Shame that everyone in DC seems afraid to use these 2 tools.
Almost like no one with the power and ability wants to change/fix it. 🤔
Nice to know I'm smarter than a SCOTUS judge, anyway. 🤷

@504DR @georgetakei Three tools: also congressional regulations on their appellate jurisdiction (i.e. almost all the cases they hear), as explicitly authorized by the Constitution.
For example, Congress could - and should! - enact a law stripping all appellate jurisdiction whenever a majority of sitting justices are ones nominated by presidents who took office despite losing the popular vote.
Yes, presidents like GWB and DJT, who DID NOT reflect the will of the people yet chose five of our nine justices.
Thanks!
So, three tools that our weak, feckless Dem leadership are afraid to use. 😡🤬😡
