Adding 4 Justices to SCOTUS is neither “extreme” nor “court packing.” The current 6-3 conservative majority that is going to overturn women’s right to bodily autonomy is extreme and the result of GOP court packing. 70% of Americans cannot be represented by 30% of the court.
You want to restore legitimacy to SCOTUS? Then #ExpandTheCourt and #ImpeachClarenceThomas
Letting 6 illegitimate abominations who were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote and confirmed by a GOP senate majority that represents less than 1/3 of the country overturn fundamental rights for over half the women and girls in America will be fucking catastrophic
When this illegitimate court strikes down Roe (likely to happen next month), abortion will become illegal in 22 states and near bans will take effect in another 6. This targets poor women and women of color the most who cannot afford to relocate or travel up to 1200 miles.

Russia infiltrating the NRA enabled them to get Americans to kill 40,000 of their fellow citizens a year

Russia infiltrating the GOP enabled them to divide us, spread bigotry & white supremacy, kill over 1 million of us in the pandemic and attack the foundations of our democracy
And to do it all in the name of “patriotism” and “freedom”
Nothing makes this clearer than consistent polls showing that Republicans view Putin more favorably than Biden/Democrats. Vlad is laughing at all of these gullible jackasses he conned into betraying their own country and nearly overthrowing their own government via Trump.

“Bullying” government institutions (mass protesting) is what led to the end of slavery in 1863, equal citizenship for black Americans in 1866, legal rights for POC in 1868, voting rights in 1870, desegregation of schools in 1955, & legalization of interracial marriage in 1967
The irony of Clarence telling us to stop trying to disrupt him and four other religious ideologues while they strip fundamental rights to bodily autonomy from 160 million girls and women cannot possibly be lost on him.
Also tell us more about how unacceptable “bullying gov’t institutions” is Clarence when you and your wife (who’s basically the 10th justice) worked together with far right militia group leaders to try to stop the certification of Biden’s win on Jan. 6th:

My take on Alito’s brief to overturn Roe is that he’s a terrible writer who hates women, knows his argument makes no sense, endlessly contradicts himself, distorts the Constitution and history, and will end all privacy rights protections and make judicial precedent meaningless.
Alito’s argument is that the right to abortion is “egregiously wrong” because it is not “deeply rooted in our history and tradition” and respondents are “unable to show that a constitutional right to abortion was established when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted.”
Here’s the problem with this argument. Women didn’t have any rights when the 14th Amendment was adopted; not just abortion. Women didn’t even get the right to vote until five Amendments later. This in no way justifies ripping rights to bodily autonomy from women in 2022.

Up until yesterday, @RepMTG deserved to be removed from the ballot because she engaged in, incited, helped plan (and possibly even carry out) the insurrection. After yesterday’s court hearing, she deserves to be removed for all of those reasons and LYING UNDER OATH OVER 60 TIMES.
Hillary Clinton testified under oath in front of Congress for 11 hours and managed to avoid perjuring herself, pleading the 5th, or using the phrase “I don’t recall” once.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was a hostile and evasive witness who told over 5 dozen lies (EACH ONE A FELONY)
Marjorie Taylor Greene lied every single time she claimed she didn’t know or couldn’t recall something (AT LEAST 20 TIMES). If the answers were exculpatory, she would have simply answered these questions with a “yes” or “no.” They weren’t. So she lied. She’s a serial perjurer.

Closing arguments have started. The defense attorney is claiming that because the insurrection-clause states that Congress can remove someone from office by a two-thirds vote, we can’t make a determination about her eligibility. This makes no sense whatsoever.
The fact that we don’t have enough votes in the House to expel MTG because her whole party has embraced treason and sedition has no bearing on the fact that she has disqualified herself by engaging in insurrection. This guy might be the worst lawyer I’ve ever watched.
“In accordance with the English language” is always the start of a compelling legal argument

I’ve counted at least two counts of perjury by @RepMTG so far. That’s two more felonies she can add to her growing rap sheet.
Here’s one:
She’s up to THIRTY SIX LIES UNDER OATH
