Congressional Dems pile on Alito after he says SCOTUS ethics can’t be regulated - Lemmy.one

“Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be ‘I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not,’” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) quipped.

Unless they start impeaching Justices, he’s completely right. Impeach or shut the fuck up “Progressives”.
With what votes?

If the vote fails (as it likely would) then we can see which politicians are our enemies and need to be replaced. The failed vote could be used as a rallying cry to motivate voters and spark protests and generate momentum for reform. A vote would generate a news cycle.

Without a vote, nothing happens.

Ok, how can they call a vote?

That’s harder, obviously. They need the Speaker to call for impeachment proceedings, which isn’t happening without drastic measures.

He also is only one man. He has an address. He has friends and family. He has business interests and donors and a whole host of private interests. He has investments and properties and associates.

Those are all legitimate targets. There are millions of people that would move on AOCs command. She could call on all her supporters to make McCarthy’s life a living hell. He’s just one man. He can be defeated by the masses.

While I appreciate your forthrightness about the need to kill the speaker of the house, I don’t think that is going to go over well with the people I’d need it to go over well with
Nobody said that, and you know it. Stick to the topic. Your lack of logic and bad faith are showing.
The difference between what the other person said and stochastic terrorism is razor thin, and you know it. Stick to reality. Your lack of common sense and bad faith are showing.

I don’t think “stochastic” means what you think it means.

Your deliberate attempt to misconstrue a clear call to nonviolent action into something that you can screech about or even claim as a threat is laughable. Honestly, if this is the best straw man the Right’s geniuses can come up with, it’s no wonder they’ve lost the new culture war.

I don’t engage with people who equate “disagreement” with “ignorance” simply because they lack the humility/imagination to consider they may be wrong. Have a good one.

Friend, if you were simply disagreeing, we might have a conversation. You’re not. You’re deliberately twisting a call for non-violent protest into a conspiracy to murder the Speaker of the House of Representatives. That is not simple disagreement. That is disengenuously creating a strawman in a way meant to frighten the person opposing you into silence. It’s a typical tactic used by those who know they’ve lost the argument but whose egos won’t let them acknowledge it.

You have a good life, too.
