Their favorite position is standing off to the side saying, “I don’t think this is legal.”
What’s so obnoxious also is they will say stuff like “did u see the sotomayer dissent she wrote a BEAUTIFUL dissent it was like poetry”
And then you read it and it’s basically like “this is bad because now the government can detain people for arbitrary reasons” something a 4th grader could figure out; but they think it’s amazing because she used the word ‘irreconcilable’ oh great you know some words that will show em
These motherfuckers get to be in the same room as these ghouls and they are legally untouchable basically like do something else get creative!
What is stopping one of these lib justices from bringing a loud speaker to deliberations and playing banana phone at maximum volume? What is stopping Kagan or Jackson from pulling out their phones and walking up to Clarence Thomas and calling him an ugly bitch? Try to explain the concept of he/him lesbians or interrogate him on what his fursona is so the old bitch can get confused and have a heart attack early.
There’s a billion things they can do to stymie the process but they won’t do it because they are all american imperial pig dogs and they won’t do anything that could unravel precious American institutions.
I think that the justices are entirely too committed to the delusion that the SC is and has always been a non-partisan institution. They can’t do anything other than pen badly written dissents because it would shatter their entire perception of themselves and the world. The lib justices probably look back on ginsberg and scalia fucking on the sly as some kind of high water mark for neutral jurisprudence.
[waves of nausea]
That would be the baliff
The marshall doesn’t go inside the conference room where they privately meet and I can’t find anything that outlines what authority they would have to do something that involved physically restraining a justice in general. Seems to me the impeachment procedure in the house is the only way to stop a justice that was going absolutely ham.
This is a pretty extreme scenario though so maybe they would intervene anyway if a judge brought a whole ass loudspeaker in especially since maybe that could be seen as a physical threat to the other justices so idk banana phone scenario is gray area probably
So bring some guns of your own
