*** 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!

26 March 1905 | An Austrian Jew, Viktor Frankl, was born in Vienna. A neurologist & psychiatrist. One of the founders of psychological humanism.

He passed through Theresienstadt and the camps of Auschwitz, Kaufering & Türkheim. He survived. Author of 'Man in Search of Meaning'.

@GreenFire You must have done something very wicked at an early age, or maybe a previous life.

Your periodic reminder that Medicare For All would save $450 billion in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

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.
