    I'd have expected they cover it while criticising him, but I guess that'd be too hard so they just ignore him?

    Definitely a situation where an ethical person should have recused themselves
    Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"

    Why are SCOTUS justices exempt from ethical standards other judges have to follow? That just doesn't make any sense.

  12. #12
    Because there's no enforcement mechanism, no system for holding them to it beyond being removed from the position by Congressional impeachment. And actually, it's not limited to SCOTUS justices. Many/most states only have impeachment or periodic retention elections to remove judges as their sole mechanisms for enforcing standards. Even in areas where there is a genuine "head" of the bench with real administrative power/authority, it's typically very much a first-among-equals and provides for minimal oversight and regulation. It's a major procedural problem with our benches.

    Absolutely incredible the lengths to which Fox is going to protect their viewers from the hearing. They didn't even give Carlson a pee break! The facts presented really hammered home the sheer fascist nature of the whole attack and the GOP's support of it. Don't remember how much they'd previously revealed about congressmen seeking pardons, but yikes.

    That was the first time they revealed the bit about all the congressmen seeking pardons. They've only named 1 of the names, though they implied the group included every congressman they subpoenaed. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

    I thought they did a really good job at the hearing. I can see why Fox News was so terrified that their viewers might see it.

    Today's highlights: Giuliani was drunk when he started pitching his coup plans, virtually everybody knew the Big Lie was a lie and told Trump, Trump knew everything he said was a lie when he said it publicly, and Trump fraudulently stole $250 million from his own supporters using the Big Lie as a cover.

    Okay but is it really fraud if you're notoriously crooked and your donors are notoriously stupid and you never get punished?

    I hope the DoJ lets us know the answer to that ASAP!

    Video evidence that a GOP member of congress led a group of people around Capitol buildings day before the riot, taking pictures of hallways, security checkpoints, and the nameplate on the office of one of their targets. And one of the guys was filmed the next day carrying a weappm and makimg threats.

    Wonder if he was one of the people who asked for a pardon.

    I mean obv Thomas is one of the SCOTUS justices Eastman was alluding to, but who's the other? Alito or Kavanaugh? Thomas absolutely has to recuse himself from anything even remotely related to this treasonous shitshow, but what about his accomplice?

    Can't get my head around just how close they got. How absurdly crooked the whole enterprise was. How so many American conservatives are such shit-for-brains scum that they still support these criminals. At least half a dozen legislators actively participated in a blatantly illegal—and violent!—scheme to steal an election, asking for pardons in return! And GOP voters have their empty heads stuck so far up their asses that they can't even be reached by news of a criminal conspiracy to steal their presidential election. I dunno whether I'm more shocked or filled with contempt.

    He was angry that we weren't letting people in with weapons. "I don't fucking care if they have weapons, they're not here to hurt me. Take the [metal detectors] down. Let my people in, they can march to the Capitol from here." - Donald Trump
    This emergency hearing has fully justified itself. Holy shit.

    "We're going to charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen."

    They made it happen, so that prediction better come true.

    Trump and Meadows both need to hang for treason. JFC
