*** I WANT ***
A Congress with the gonads to tackle the issues causing the lost of respect for the Supreme Court.
1) Impeach any Justice with an ethics problem. Remove them from the Court! I can think of 3 immediately.
2) Impose Rules and a method of enforcement.
3) Increase the number of Justices to 13 so that politicization is more difficult.
4) Impose term limits. I suggest a single 8 year term for each Justice ... period.
What is happening right now is ridiculous!
@GreenFire Look on the bright side: you’re in excellent company!
@GreenFire You must have done something very wicked at an early age, or maybe a previous life.
A state rep got caught committing securities fraud. A grand jury indicted him on felony charges. Years passed. The defendant was elected attorney general. Years more passed.
Now he has agreed to accept punishment. He must pay nearly $300,000 in restitution, take legal ethics classes and perform 100 hours of community service.
And he remains attorney general.
Given these impossible facts—what state are we in?
…in seeking the #GagOrder last month, #AlvinBragg’s prosecutors highlighted #Trump’s “longstanding history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, judges, & others involved in #legal proceedings against him” — comments that the judge seized on in his ruling.
“His statements were threatening, inflammatory, denigrating,” Justice #Merchan wrote in the Tues order.

@MotherJones Exactly when did this lying sack get a medical degree?
2/ Via Lisa Rubin:
Perhaps most importantly, he cannot talk abt prospective or actual jurors, period. That matters bc even though the pub won’t know their names, Trump himself has statutory right to know names of jurors in this NY state proceeding.
It’s common in this case for judge to release orders or opinions days after they are signed. But this 1? Signed today, same day Trump went after Cohen on Truth Soc & day after he attacked a senior lawyer in the DA’s office while cameras rolled.

BREAKING NOW: NBC NEWS plans to drop ex RNC leader Ronna McDaniel after a public revolt by the on-air talent.
"If he [Trump] were any other person, he would have been sentenced to prison many times over with no real hope of release: Sexual assault. Decades of fraud. Attempted extortation of a foreign leader. Stealing classified documents. Flagrant acceptance of what very much looks like bribes. Attempting to overthrow democracy. Inciting a violent riot that got people killed."
