It’s fucking terrifying and the fact that Roberts did not order Thomas to recuse himself is maddening! I only trust the three women who sit on the bench: one Black, one Hispanic, and one Jewish. I listened to Nicolle’s show and you’re so right about her being good. When you have Judge Luttig on and his reaction was one of being flabbergasted, you know that the 6 justices are corrupt. It’s past time for We, The People, to demand Thomas to be removed and impeached!

I don't know whether Roberts could force Thomas to recuse himself. What he could do, however, is tell Thomas that, if he doesn't recuse himself, he, Roberts, will publicly criticize him for violating judicial ethics. Other justices could join Roberts in that. Sorry, my fantasies sometimes get away from me.

How do you suggest that "we the people" do that?

We inundate our reps and senators relentlessly with our anger. We write to MSM, relentlessly too. We write to the local newspapers that we are angry that the justices do not consider the people who inhabit this nation as being denied justice. I marched in protests in the Vietnam War which helped to bring our soldiers, doctors, and nurses home. I burned my bra so that women could have abortions and be offered birth control. I educated myself about Affirmative Action and voted for it. I was there when VRA was passed. I want all if that to return but if we have a fight on our hands, fight we must!

Thank you for being there in those moments. I began with the protests in Durham NC in the early sixties; been doing what I can since......

Thank you! I am formerly from NC and left after high school to go to DC. Best experience of my life. Took my daughters in 2019 back there for the Women’s March. They appreciated the area so much. Even went to Congress for a day. All of the R’s looked like “white cotton-heads”, according to my kids. 😃

"white cotton-heads"-- sometimes kids say such accurate things!

There are FOUR women on the SCOTUS, Marlene. Not ALL women can be trusted.
