The Roberts Supreme Court is the worst since the shameful days of Roger Taney’s Supreme Court.

Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump appointees are Republican partisan hacks.

We need radical reform — and we need it the moment Dems regain control of Congress.

"A nonpartisan Justice may compel up to two junior partisan Justices to recuse."

What's wrong with that idea to reduce the politicization of the Court?

Might does NOT make right. Sometimes it does, but mostly it doesn't.

But whatever might makes, might tries to tell everyone that it's right. Just more loudly and more angrily the more wrong it is.

Don't believe me? Then open your eyes and ears.

@rbreich Congress can and should create a new Federal Review Court with all the proposed guardrails such as term limits and enforceable ethics code, and transfer to it all power to review decisions by lower courts, Congress, and the executive branch. Leave the corrupt Supreme Court with only cases of original jurisdiction as defined explicitly in the Constitution. Reduce the budget for SC staff and salary in accord with their decreased responsibilities.

@rbreich hard to believe that it is “radical” to simply want them to abide by the ethical standards that are supposed to be followed in every other court in the land.

@rbreich Doesn't matter how big majority democrats have in House and Senate, they don't have the political cojones to do anything but whine about it. Biden, Durbin and others have said SCOTUS is off limits. They'll just wait for justices to retire or resign to change the balance. They're against increasing it to 13 to match Appeals court district, reason last used to increase it to 9. Biden and Durbin are cowards.

The three trump appointees perjured themselves at their confirmation hearings. They should be removed immediately - escorted out by the police and not allowed to return until new confirmations hearings are held.

Alito and Thomas are not fit to serve. What's wrong with Roberts?
