People who were around T-rump and worked for him, know what he is like. A whole bunch of T-rump’s former associates don’t want him in power again. What do they know? We should listen. 1. His vice president, Mike Pence said the American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution. … Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.”2. His second attorney general, Bill Barr: “Someone who engaged in that kind of bullying about a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self-government shouldn’t be anywhere near the Oval Office.”
3. His first secretary of defense, James Mattis: “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people – does not even try. Instead he tries to divide us.”
4. His second secretary of defense, Mark Esper: “I think he’s unfit for office. … He puts himself before country. His actions are all about him and not about the country. And then, of course, I believe he has integrity and character issues as well.”
5. His chairman of the joint chiefs, retired Gen. Mark Milley, seemed to invoke Trump: “We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution and we take an oath to the idea that is America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.”
“THE DEPTHS OF HIS DISHONESTY IS JUST ASTOUNDING TO ME. THE DISHONESTY, THE TRANSACTIONAL NATURE OF EVERY RELATIONSHIP. THOUGH IT’S MORE PATHETIC THAN ANYTHING ELSE. HE IS THE MOST FLAWED PERSON I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE.”
I write separately to highlight another way in which this prosecution may violate our constitutional structure. In this case, the Attorney General purported to appoint a private citizen as Special Counsel to prosecute a former President on behalf of the United States. But, I am not sure that any office for the Special Counsel has been “established by Law,” as the Constitution requires. Art. II, §2, cl. 2. By requiring that Congress create federal offices “by Law,” the Constitution imposes an important check against the President—he cannot create offices at his pleasure. If there is no law establishing the office that the Special Counsel occupies, then he cannot proceed with this prosecution. A private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former President.

Normally, court dissents include the word “respectfully” but Ms Sotomayor signed off hers by writing: “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”
In the upcoming battle of Democracy versus fascism, so do I.

We need to elect an overwhelming blue majority that can impeach the SCOTUS traitors, or increase the court by enough members to offset them.

The SCOTUS just abandoned America and crawled into an orange man’s pocket. Owning the judiciary is just the beginning of an authoritarian’s regime.

But it’s alright, it’s alright
For we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
Road we’re traveling on
I wonder what’s gone wrong
I can’t help it, I wonder what has gone wrong . . .
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying

Plan for final destruction of American Democracy:
First, corrupt Supreme Court. Done.
Second, corrupt legislature. Done.
Third, corrupt police. Working on it.
Corrupt all media. Again, working on it.
Corrupt or destroy any trade union or group who resist. Half way there.
And before you know it, we’re done. Heil Trump!

“Trump said, without evidence if he won he would put two more Justices on the court.” (bold face mine)
He wouldn’t really give a flying fig one way or another – it ONLY depends upon the size of the (ahem) “campaign contributions”.
Or who kissed his “ring” the most.
He’s a verkakte child.
