@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris 3 points which we must repeatedly spotlight about *THIS* #SCOTUS:

1. Not unlike the #MAGAMob takeover of the RNC and Republican Party, *THIS* SCOTUS has a shadow Chief Justice. It’s Clarence Thomas.

Thomas seems to have transitioned from the dichotomy viewpoint…

@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris do with his personal views of the Alabama re-districting case and more to attempt to save the credibility of #SCOTUS and his legacy if not, save #SCOTUS and democracy.

3. There is a fundamental through line we must pin. It could almost be mistaken for a taunt from the…

@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris TFG conservatives on #SCOTUS who are keenly aware of the current state (since the McConnell-led GOP majority decided after taking control in 2010 to thwart the Obama Administration) of near semi-permanent gridlock in the U.S. Senate, creating a legislative cemetery where…

@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris almost all good bills go to die.

When hearing oral arguments last month in the Biden Administration’s COVID Vaccine & Testing Requirements Case (not a mandate) TFG conservative #SCOTUS justices teased counsel for the NFIB and Ohio’s Solicitor Gen…

@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris opinion points. They implied Congress could have passed legislation imposing COVID vaccine and testing requirements. Flowers, OH’s Solicitor General caught the pass, but fumbled it when Justice Sotomayor adeptly stated by establishing OSHA and appropriating an annual…

@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris budget, Congress conferred authority for administration and oversight of matters such as COVID vaccine requirements and testing.

Justice Sotomayor didn’t mention the Senate passed a bill in Dec 2021 to overturn Biden’s COVID vaccine requirement…

@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris The bill was introduced by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).

In light of the information we’ve learned RE: #SCOTUS Justice Thomas and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) are in regular communication, one must wonder if Sen. Scott was coached…

@DemocracyDocket @marceelias @allinwithchris @JaneMayerNYer @AshaRangappa_ @neal_katyal to introduce #S2895 when he did in Dec. 2021 advance of #SCOTUS hearing oral arguments for Biden Admin’s COVID vaccine requirement? If so, by who?

The coincidence not only must be pondered, but also should be examined in reference to other legislation and #SCOTUS cases.

@CourtneyBanks I will humbly and proudly tell you I was on the Biden bus from wire-to-wire.

Not because I started off rah, rah, rah Joe Biden. I look at the path, I did the math. I took as much emotion out of it as I could, my answer no matter how impossible it looked was the same.

1/🧵
@CourtneyBanks Did I have doubts, absolutely. Was I certain, nope. HOWEVER, I was 100% sure Joe Biden was the only Democrat the would beat the Maniac of Mayhem.

I’d go into an app, “Electoral Map” and update, I kept a spreadsheet with all the candidates. Even before anyone announced…

@CourtneyBanks I went to see then former VP Biden on his “Promise Me, Dad” book tour. I think I was pretty convincing because he remembered me when I saw him next at his first big fundraiser in our area.

I told him if he didn’t run, we wouldn’t beat former guy. He’d have to live with…

@22AdeleCOYS @JaneMayerNYer @NewYorker Ginni Thomas isn’t just a threat to #SCOTUS, she and Justice Clarence Thomas are like Bonnie and Clyde in an RV.

The Thomas’s threaten the credibility of the Supreme Court as our last guard rail in federalism* at a time when public confidence in all federal institutions…

1/🧵
@22AdeleCOYS @JaneMayerNYer @NewYorker is at an all time low. The democracy doomsday clock shows 11:55:59 pm. Justice Thomas rulings are clear he opines for the “imperial presidency” so long as a Republican holds power when a bench ruling is made.

Still, a Black man, from the segregated south, I neglected to…

2/
@22AdeleCOYS @JaneMayerNYer @NewYorker view him as a Libertarian advocating for “state’s rights” as Ginni Thomas’s email exchange with DeSantis’s office seem implies.

It’s a bridge far too far. It’s “Stockholm Syndrome” run amuck. Does Justice Thomas see a white man when he looks in the mirror? All kidding aside.

@deenafaywinter @equalityAlec Here’s the $64K question. If someone digs will they find:

1. Any members of Minneapolis PD, incl. SWAT team attended Jan. 6, 2021 #Insurrection as part of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Patriot Front, III Percenters, etc?

2. Was #1 covered up or suppressed…

@deenafaywinter @equalityAlec @griffonatrix @SadLawBoy counsel stated it’s in the public’s interest to have these officers names unveiled. I wholeheartedly concur.

It’s a public safety issue pursuant to the oath they took to perform their job, which takes super-priority over any first amendment rights they forfeited when…

@din_nw @WhiteHouse It’s war. We elect Presidents to make and accept the consequences for extremely difficult decisions most of us would not have the heart, stomach or comprehension to know where to initiate the first step.

President Biden had the guts to end a war his predecessors didn’t.

1/
@din_nw @WhiteHouse Was it smooth sailing? Hell no. Have we yet seen the worst? Surely not. Here’s what you can take to the bank and cash a check on. The 20-year war in Afghanistan is OVER. Gen. McKenzie said it best, “The mission is accomplished.”

I respect the President Biden for ending it.

2/
@din_nw @WhiteHouse Not because he kept his word. It’s because we had no business in Afghanistan after we took out Osama bin Laden. The “Axis of Evil” was built on a lie. Former First Lady Laura Bush’s efforts on behalf of helping Afghani women gain freedom and independence were noble, I guess.

@peterbakernyt @chipgoines Warning: 🧵
Problem with current MSM reporting. It refers to “Biden team’s cold political calculation about getting Americans out of Afghanistan and not evacuating Afghanis…” Makes it sound inhumane.

Same mainstream media is normalizing the murder of Americans in America…
