#SamuelAlito #Trump #SupremeCourt
Our country is like a run away train right now. What a mess, over one morally busted man.
It is not 'over one morally busted man'. That one man has only FINALLY highlighted the problems with the political and legal systems in the U.S. There are many 'morally busted men' - and women all over the U.S. who have been getting away with their behaviour for a long time and have facilitated the rise to the White House of that one of their disgusting number.
Aloha. And true.
....and an entire Republican Party that enables all of it because of their complete capitulation and subversion to industry titans and super wealthy fascist billionaires.
A lot more than one.
@@adamyoung480 Aloha
I’m really tired of you guys saying these terrible justices should only recuse themselves! You need to impeach these people already, do something!🤬🤬🤬
Impeachment controlled by the House. That about covers it.
Impeachment is more difficult. It would require Republicans to support too.
Yes thank you, how do we respect law when stuff like this is going on?
Nothing but a bunch of klans maga justices🤮😡
Worse, HOW Do You Teach You Children To Respect The Law And Government WHEN Money Bring ENTITLEMENT And IMMUNITY.
He should RESIGN!!!
He should go to PRISON if he supports the insurrection!!!!

At this point, no one should be blaming Alito and Thomas. They've made themselves clear and stayed true to who they've shown themselves to be. The blame for this is 100% on Roberts. He's allowed the rot to grow and thrive.
Have to agree with you. What is the point of having a "Chief Justice" if he has no authority to act in such a situation? My belief is that Roberts has done nothing about these 2 rogue judges because he shares their views.
Then all three should be held to account.
You're correct about Roberts and wrong about the other 2. *THEY ARE corrupt!*
@@jnagarya519 Yep!
Alito, OUT. Thomas, OUT. Roberts, do your job and clean up this mess.
You have no other choice.
Roberts will do nothing. He is part of the problem.
That's not happening.

No wonder Ginny Thomas hasn't been indicted
The Supreme Court doesn't decide who gets indicted.

But I know the scotus, don't get no respect from me, if I can't believe that these magats in black robe's are even leaning anyway they are TOTALLY WRONG, they are supposed to be completely unrelated to any one sided, that's how a judge can say I go by the constitution and the way the constitution word's are you be understood
She should be indicted.
If You Believe That The Influence Of A Sitting SUPREME COURT JUSTICE'S Spouse Doesn't Receive Special "Consideration" from Attorneys, Who May Have To Argue Cases Before The SCOTUS Bench; You Are Greatly Mistaken And Mislead.
Threatening your neighbors with the suspension of their constitutional rights seems like something a Supreme Court Justice ought not be doing.
Absolutely

Because he doesn’t want to politically prosecute President Trump😊
So the liberal view of marriage now is 1950s style do as I say or else? Should Alito have ordered his wife not to have an opinion? I'd like to be a fly on the wall at Casa Alito for that conversation.

And when he chooses not to resign, he should be arrested.
@@winterlightstudios4340 for what comrade? For the “anti fascists” you guys sure do act fascist…..
He shouldn’t recuse. He should resign or be impeached.

YES !!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Impeachment is hopium.
I came here to say exactly that.
US supreme Court justices should have term limit. Absolute power corrupts absolutely 100% of the time
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It'll be fine
Explain how term limits would have prevented ANY of the SCOTUS recent shenanigans. Corrupt biased candidates must not get into SCOTUS in the first place. Limiting their nonsense to 10 years or whatever achieves nothing.
Just goes to show how LITTLE you know of our judicial system. We'd be overturning rulings LEFT AND RIGHT while the deck gets stacked every few years.
If it wasn't in democrats nature to cling to their power forever, they might have control of the supreme court. Ruth Ginsburg was encouraged to retire during Obama's administration and be replaced by an Obama appointed justice, but she refused. She stayed in her position until her dying breath and was replaced by a Trump appointed justice.
Alito and Thomas are corrupt.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@danieljlanoue8823maybe one day you'll have something smart to say?
Corruption is a basic principle of the GOP.

When supreme justice judges get in that position and they have lied and we discover, shouldn’t they be fired?!!!!!!!!!
Definitely. They broke the law, so they should go to jail.

Alito and Thomas should put a GAG ORDER on MSNBC for the Trump case..
Everyone pro Trump should be removed but you want to keep on everyone who's anti Trump I bet.
Every Far Reich SCOTUS should be dismissed! Amy Coney Barrett was raised in a KKKult, same one Margaret Atwood wrote about in The Handmaid's Tale 😮😡
Did Sotomayor recuse herself from the Obamacare case? That connection was direct to the legislation, no , if, ands or buts. I do not ever see your state media complain at all about those conflicts. It is funny how you guys have your double standards. Most of you don't even know who these people are. You simply repeat what you are told.

If tax dollars pay your salary, you should never disrespect the American flag, just resign
Yes. A neighbor expressing their first amendment right, does not give a supreme court member to openly represent that they support a coup against our government.
That’s the best thing about America you actually can disrespect the flag its cover in our 1st amendment. Should the Supreme Court judges not have those rights?

Agree with mr. Nadler
Yes!!
They'd be removed here in Ireland. We seem to care more about Justice than our American friends.
Why would you remove them? Because people got their feelings hurt
Good for you. We are seeing our nation unravel and these so call justices have zero accountability.
@@ProfessorOfLogic980 at least Ireland's justice system has some ethics. The US is just a global laughing stock right now in that area, and others it would seem, and somebody should own that..
The USA has over 300 million residents. Our government probably has as many people in it as an entire city in the Emerald Isle. We are a Constitutional Republic, where the US Constitution is the highest law in the land. That document doesn't allow us the power to "remove" bad leaders. We have to swim through oceans of process and red tape.
@@robertallred4515 Hardly. Because such an action indicates very publicly a lack of impartiality on the Justice's part - for even the mere suggestion of a lack of impartiality, judges are removed from cases. That flag issue is beyond the pale - there's no question that the relevant Justice must *not* have any say in any related matter, as they've chosen to consciously indicate that they are aligned with the very people that they're tasked with ruling over, rendering their position untenable due to an overt conflict of interest. Please don't insult anyone here - or humiliate yourself - by trying to pretend that all of the above somehow evades you.
We should held all Supreme Court justices accountable
How disgraceful to the flag of our country. How can we get rid of him?
It isn't about the flag. It's about Alito -- and Thomas.
@@jnagarya519 The Flag has PLENTY to do with it. What are you? Trolling??
He needs to be removed from our Supreme court for treason!
No.
I agree. I don't understand how an insurrectionist or insurrection sympathizer is not disqualified from serving in any American court.
@@xelamercedes It is hard to call January 6th an insurrection, seeing police officers opened doors and allowed the peaceful protestors to enter the congressional Chamber, while Pro Palestinians protested and shut down official proceedings in the congressional building and none of them were arrested for treason and insurrection.
@@xelamercedes That is because Nancy Pelosis is still allowed to be a congress woman.
@@harleydude-xo8pu It's hard for me not to call it an insurrection with so many "Stop the Steal" signs in evidence but I appreciate you see it differently.
The "offensive" sign on the neighbours house was an official "Elect Joe Biden" lawn sign...
i read that it was a 'F trump' sign.
This is unacceptable bias. Alito and Thomas have to go.
Alito is despicable and disgusting. I wonder why Roberts continues to sit like a child in his own home and allowing all this nonsense to happen. This is disgraceful to the flag of America 🇺🇸 and everything America stands for. Very shameful
Robert's hands are tied. If he goes against his corrupt coworkers, they will make sure he meets an untimely end.
@@ChineduOparaOh come on. He’s not a Clinton.
Roberts is doing what he always does, pretending there's no problem. He is not a leader.
He is painfully biased
He may ignore the fact it was there for one week. This implies complicity and contempt for justice.
The swamp actually came with the previous administration.
The whole world sees this injustice and wonders who we/what we stand for anymore.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
All Supreme Court justices are biased there’s no independent scotus there only rep and dem scotus so technically they are all biased
Alito and Clarance are two of the most corrupt, dishonest and incompetent justices in history.
The Supreme Court needs to be expanded to at least 13 justices... 15 would be better! We are operating under the same number of SCOTUS Justices as we had in 1870 when the US population was 38,925,598. Today, our population is 336,122,600... 8.6 times higher.
WE ARE OPERATING IN 19th CENTURY ERA!
SCOTUS needs to be expanded.
And, don't even try to talk to me about stacking, considering the stacking that the MAGA GOP has done to SCOTUS!!
Agree *100%!*
Expand the court. Make them irrelevant ! That'll drive them crazy !
They cannot expand the court without the House's backing. They cannot impeach Supreme Court members without the House backing them. Democrats have got to get control of the House.
Recuse ? resigning would be the appropriate thing to do .
No, *IMPEACHMENT* is what needs to happen here! Then REMOVE. Then INDICT.
This is why nobody should be redeeming either President Bushs' reputations. They're the ones who appointed Thomas and Alito
Fun fact: Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett all worked on the Repub side in Bush v. Gore 2000. And all 3 are now on the Supreme Court. Nothing like political string pulling, Leonard Leo and Federalist Society, I'm looking at you.
@@michelez715 poor little baby this is called reality

Yes, I remember watching the senators who were "vetting" Thomas on TV; they knew how corrupt he was and they approved his appointment anyway -- both Republicans and Democrats. The "Old Boys' Club" in action in the day.
Alito and Thomas should resign from the supreme court now
*Impeach & Remove!*
The Catholics should hold Alito accountable for blaming his wife and neighbors for his sins.
Time has come for Alito and Thomas to retire. Anything short of that is treasonous. And, we understand what to do with that ilk.
Opine: Both Alito and Thomas should recuse, no maybes. Corruption is a legit reason, even political, like Cannon.
They all need to be *Impeached & Removed!* Then they should be *Indicted!*
Its time to clear the Supreme Court swamp.
As I said before, we must *Impeach & Remove!*
And yet this country I'm so proud of still has Americans voting for Trump 😢😢😢.. Unbelievably sad 😢😢😢

Should they ask Justice Thomas to do the same?
What about Clarence Thomas whose wife is guilty of INSURECTION?
She needs to be indicted!
The public MUST KNOW whether Alito and Thomas were deciding votes in hearing the immunity appeal. It only takes 4 SCOTUS votes to hear a case. Were their votes instrumental in hearing the appeal? Journalists must find out.
We are glad that Joe💙Biden is President🇱🇷.
CHANGE THE LIFETIME APPOINTMENT SYSTEM !! IDEAS anyone?
Alito and Thomas should resign from the Court
*Impeach & Remove!*
The corruption is unreal
They should both resign, I also believe it is long overdue that there should be no life time appointments and Biden MUST step up and increase the court.
Alito! A more contemptible person among MAGA sycophants is not to be found!! Chief Justice John Roberts must act responsibly, LEAD the Supreme Court, and recuse Alito & Thomas in cases where either is compromised. Otherwise, Roberts stands with them. His responsibility & authority over the court require him to do so.
You obviously haven't checked Roberts' actions over the years. Not only does he share the views of Alito and Thomas, he's too spineless to take any action even if he didn't have the same beliefs. He has already refused an invitation to appear in the Senate concerning the lack of ethical oversight in the SC. He "presided" over Trump's first impeachment trial, but allowed the Repubs to refuse having witnesses, and I think he refused to "preside" at all at the second impeachment trial. He's weak, has no idea of leadership.
@@michelez715 No. I have noticed. It still doesn't absolve him of his responsibilities to the Nation and his oath, though..... Never will.
Very well said, Jerry Nadler. Many of us remember those 3 lying nominees saying they wouldn't dream of overturning Roe v. Wade, it was settled precedent etc. As for Roberts, he has already turned down an invitation to appear in the Senate, because he didn't think it would serve any useful purpose, or some such mealy mouthed excuse. Roberts is the worst of the lot, imo, because he pretends to be moderate, but thinks just like Alito and Thomas.
Ditto.
*They know full well that they are protected. Therefore they will do whatever they want🤬. Make Acountabilty Great Again!*
Some states have review boards on ethics. Why aren’t these people under some type of review and held accountable.
System is rigged face it out loud please
The problem is that many millions of people will just throw their hands up and give up on politics and the duty to vote because it appears that everyone is corrupt and nothing will be done about it. There's a lot of talk but nothing happens!
Stay home then. I'm sure they don't need you.

Nadler is nailing it. Good to see you Congressman Nadler and glad to know you are still hard at work for the American People.
Criminal Justice? How Apprpriate...
Nadler is correct, both Alito and Thomas should recuse themselves at minimum. They should both resign for the good of the country.
They should, but won’t and nothing can be done about it and they know it.😢🇺🇸⚖️
I made a $250 bet with a family member who said DJT will never see the inside of a cell. I believed in what our country says it stands for, but I’m very naive so I need to figure out how to pay my debt.
No one is above the law??? Yeah, right.
Having 5 Relatives who served on that same Court, these Justices are a Joke !
I agree they both needs to recuse themselves ASAP!
They don't recuse and they don't care because nobody kicks them out of SCOTUS. Their extreme right movement and saving Trump counts more.
MSDNC: YOU LOST. WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET YOU CHANGE LAWS AND THROW AWAY THE CONSTITUTION TO "GET TRUMP" JUST SHUT UP.
It’s disgusting that the Supreme Court ignores ethics.
O.K. Jeffries, now I am sold. You put into succinct words the gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach.
MSNBS and it's viewer base is in full panic mode desperately trying to cope so hard with Trump's upcoming inevitable win in November, ROFLMFAO. 🤣
trump lost in 2020 and will lose worse in 2024. Biden will put 20,000 US Army troops around the Capital on January 2025. Fully armed for MAGA this time around. Vote Blue.
If their impartiality could reasonably be questioned, a Justice must recuse under US Code 28.455.
When Antonin Scalia died and transitioned to the worms…I rejoiced…I never rejoiced in anyone’s death before, but I thought this was not just the feeding of worms, but also the birth of a new era of SCOTUS ethics, morality, rationality and intellectual honesty. I WAS SO WRONG!!
We have devolved further into the depths of DEPLORABLE.
SAD!
Anyone else would be held accoutable for such behavior.
Alito must recuse himself!!
So now, calls for Alito to recuse himself back up against the calls for Thomas to do the same. And if they refuse? Nothing happens? They're both unfit for office and we're still stuck with them? C'mon America. Pathetic.
We need to march in protest against these traitors. Demand that they leave our Supreme Court house.
At least someone cares about our Constitution, because it’s definitely not SCOTUS.
Roberts and Thomas ABSOLUTELY need to recuse themselves immediately! Their actions prove they are 100% bias!
Without enforceable laws you are LAWLESS!
Hahaha hello from Canada. I can just imagine the conversation going on between Alito and his wife.
Alito and Thomas should both resign to stop the damage of the Supreme Court respectability, trust and legitimacy.
I would be ok if Justice Alito just stood on his head for all the Trump J6 stuff.
Recuse himself?! He should resign immediately has he's shown he is not impartial and his judgement has been impaired
THANK YOU!!
Exactly right. Thank you.
Alito need to resign. If any other govt employee did this, they would be fired if their spouse did something to show clear conflicts of interest.
I remeber when Candace Owens showed us the intelligence level of Nadler.
Come on press.... go after Mrs. Alito! Let's hear it from her own mouth about this altercation and how she put the flag upside down!😂😂😂
THe message should not be to establish an enforcible code of ethics, it should be to IMPEACH them all. Then kset up the ethics...
