Are Lindsey Graham and Rupert Murdoch about to be brought down?

Letters from an American:

'Yesterday, a Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury issued a subpoena for Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), among others, and today Graham’s lawyers said they will challenge the subpoena...They assert that as then-chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Graham “was well within his rights to discuss with state officials the processes and procedures around administering elections.”

...the Supreme Court is unlikely to agree that the state of Georgia is a branch of the federal government... “an arrogant[,] pompous and legally weak argument from Graham [that] should be slam-dunk rejected by any court that hears it.”

The slow accumulation of facts over fiction might well become a financial crisis for those who participated in Trump’s narrative. The Fox News Corporation, One America News Network, and Newsmax are currently facing multibillion dollar lawsuits from Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, a voting machine company and an election software company.'

1. Yesterday I was laughed at here,

for claiming that Lyndsey's challenge could reach the fascist SC. Looks like someone else feels the same way.

Our fascist SC members have taken the opinion that states have absolute rights to run their own elections without federal interference. Of course the fascist court can make exceptions when it suits their move to autocracy.

2. Not looking good for these two dudes. May all these seditionists face their comeuppance

3. There are no limits for the SCOTUS

The sick 6 on the SC are simply doing what they promised to do; regress the USA 100 years, to make us "great" again.

I would not be shocked or surprised if they give absolute power to the States to "govern" their own elections.

6. You are right about the SC being fascist.

You will get no argument from me.
Please keep spreading the news because the rest of America is not admitting where we are headed.

8. There is an excellent, old black and white movie from 1961

about the corruption of judges.

It is Judgment at Nuremburg, which tells the story of the trials of German judges from the Nazi era after WWII. It shows how they abandoned justice in order to toe the Nazi line.

Cast includes Spencer Tracey, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Burt Lancaster, Maximillian Schell, Richard Widmark, and William Shatner.

19. I have the unfortunate distinction of using the term "fascist" in describing political movements

many years before it became a trending term. And I'm relieved that others have also seen what I've been seeing, because it's simply true. The more it's accurately used, the better. Fascism is dangerous for all of us. It squeezes the life out of a prosperous society. We've seen it over and over.

10. I think they were referring to the GA Supreme Court, who would have jurisdiction. Nt

[gab13by13]

13. So, Lyndsey can't appeal to the US SC? Nice to know.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Don't know if he can or can't

But GA SC would need to rule first, right? Frankly I don’t think SCOTUS should have jurisdiction, you know, states’ rights and all.

Regardless,SCOTUS is in recess until October, Graham could be in jail for contempt or at least indicted by then.

20. The fascist SC didn't bat an eye

to get involved in gerrymandering when it benefitted Magats.

4. Did he call any other states and question any other elections? I think not

Has any chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee ever called a Secretary of State to question election results in a state he doesn’t represent?

[gab13by13]

5. His challenge is weak sauce,

it should be quickly thrown out, it would be quickly thrown out if justice was blind.

[Old Okie]

9. Lindsey

Actually he stated to a reporter that he had called other swing states like Arizona and Nevada. He is one of the coup plotters.

[Bucky]

7. I no longer think that "should be a slam dunk for SCOTUS" means anything

You can't trust liars

[Jerry2144]

11. If god were real

Then these two would be facing swift Justice and long prison terms

[albacore]

12. The only way to bring those two down is with a wooden stake thru the heart....

...like any other blood-sucking vampire.

[liberal N proud]

14. We could be so lucky

[Glaisne]

16. There should be a class action lawsuit

against The Fox News Corporation, One America News Network, and Newsmax on behalf of the American public for their purposeful disinformation and advocation leading to the insurrection. They are an existential threat to the country and need to be taken off the air.

[FakeNoose]

17. Yes! Bankrupt them first, then proceed with indictments and convictions

I really like the sound of that.

21. Murdoch has embedded himself in the US economy so deeply

it would seem impossible to extricate him from all of it. There's "Fox Sports" and Fox Television. Billions flow through Murdoch's conglomerates every day. And part of his long-time arrangement with the political "conservative" establishment is to provide a voice for the "conservative" movement IN EXCHANGE for unfettered media rights and presence. He did the same in Australia and the UK.

18. the limbaugh show, 600 radio stations, broadcast the Giuliani/powell press conf live

giuliani/powell press conference was timed to start with the limbaugh show to increase audience size by millions and get the weight of his royal certitude

they need to be included - along with the 1000 other radio stations that follow the limbaugh lead they repeated the bullshit a lot more than fox and need to be included

[Glaisne]

22. Yep, The nationwide network of hate talk radio

does not get the attention it needs regarding the threat it poses. For decades these so-called "News-Talk" radio stations have been spewing unfettered right-wing hate, lies, and propaganda and brainwashing the listening public to the point of creating mass psychosis and insanity. We are now seeing the culmination of decades of broadcasting insanity into the minds of millions of the public. There is no part of the country that doesn't receive a right-wing news talk radio and with perfect reception. In fact, in vast areas of the country, there are usually only three types of stations that will come in with perfect reception, the conservative news-talk station, the conservative Christian radio station, and the conservative Country Music station. There are no parts of the country that don't receive at least one of these types of stations with perfect reception.

23. Answer: Nope

[budkin]

24. Yeah right...

Never going to happen.
