When I was a mere clerk for the 1st circuit appeals court, I wasn't allowed to have a political bumper sticker for fear of creating even the appearance of bias on the court.
How can Justice Alito be allowed to rule on Jan 6-related matters after flying a pro-insurrection flag?
That's the difference. There are no rules binding on a fascist and they consider it a mark of strength and high character not to comply with the rules of "lesser men".
You can't shame them, they're proud of their hypocrisy.
We can only destroy them. That'sthe remedy to fascism. There is no other.
@rbreich answer: SCOTUS has no authority above them, save Congress' power of Impeachment. With Republicans consistently appointing people with no integrity or decency, the so called guardrails that guided the court since at least Warren was appointed, failed at that point.
Predictably, I might add.
It's not like SCOTUS had any moment of history outside of the Warren and Marshall Courts where it acted with a shred of integrity or decency.

When the Highest Courts on Earth abdicate Duty & Obligation; fearing Truth & Reality obvious to any average Individual:
🤔
▪︎ One cannot decide if one Man is above the Laws of a Nation, where "No One" is Above the Law.
▪︎ The other cannot decide if eradicating an entire People, by Violence, induced Famine & long-term Oppression is Genocide.
"Conscience doth make Cowards of them All!"
THIS IS THE WORLD IS, TODAY!
▪︎ The Absence of Ethics permeates every Indecision.

How? Because “[w]hen you’re a [Supreme Court justice], they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the [Constitution]. You can do anything.”
@rbreich
With Trump as head of the GOP/GRU, all pretense of following basic ethics, laws, and the Constitution seems to have been abandoned by that party's adherents.
