      Not to be hypocritical... but aren't we defending Judge Merchan's neutrality in presiding over the President by disregarding his daughter's political activity- because Judge Merchan is politically separated?
      Aren't we defending President Biden's integrity, by pointing out his son made terrible decisions, not him?
      Yes; I worry about their neutrality. But just as I believe we can have 19 impartial jurors found in New York for Trump's hush-money trial.. I also want to believe that our Supreme Court Justices, while having viewpoints that may influence what they perceive as 'right' or proper interpretations, can be impartial as well. And that's a strength.

Forgiving student loans is ridiculous. especially when our tax dollars would be spent supporting the current pro Palestine protestors, while preventing other students from even going to classes or participating in graduation ceremonies.

      Term limits won't keep out bad judges. We need a serious vetting process for all positions in government and judicial system so we can cut way down on this sort of nonsense and a much easier way to remove them if they do cross lines. Now that people live longer I'd suggest nobody under 55 or 60 be allowed on the bench and a certain amount of time in lower courts be achieved before they can even be considered.

    Alito did what every weak-minded male from that generation does and blamed his wife. What a jellyfish traitor!

    Yup. "Oughta recuse himself. " Thank you're Senator Blumenthal for your patriotic clear-headedness.

    Agreed. Thomas and Alito should have to recuse themselves and even more, be impeached from the court.

    Expand the Court. Simple as that. Take it up to 13 seats and then, add 4 more liberal justices. End of problem.

      they need a super majority to impeach the judges that means 60+ senitors basicly 2/3rds majority in both houses to remove them from office the only other way to get rid of them is set term limits on the supreme court and expand the court and doing that would be easier and having the supreme court be subject to propper ethics regulation like the lower courts were 3 major violations can force a resignation or removal from court these things need to be voted upon by all houses to correct this
