Clarence Thomas Puts The Brakes On Lindsey Graham's Testimony In Georgia

The GOP acts as one big criminal organization.

By John Amato — October 24, 2022

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas temporarily blocked the subpoena from Georgia demanding Sen. Lindsey Graham testify to a grand jury investigating Trump's malfeasance after he lost the state to Joe Biden in the 2020 general election.

Thomas thumbed his nose at a panel of judges on the 11th circuit who unanimously rejected Graham's request to block his testimony.

Georgia is investigating Trump's heinous actions trying to get election officials to somehow find more votes and name him the winner of the peach state.

We really need to
1) impeach
2) or expand the courts

1. John Roberts has no control over the supreme court anymore it's the clarence Thomas court now

And Roberts hasn’t realized it yet.

2. Or he just doesn't care....

13. The Chief Justice (any of them) does not 'control' the SC or individual justices. About the ONLY

'power' the Chief Justice has is, when in the majority, getting to assign the drafting of the majority opinion to whom he/she wants. When in the minority the most senior justice in the majority get to assign the drafting.

The Chief Justice is not like a boss/ceo/party leader/president.

3. SCOTUS has become pretty much just a political party with far too much power

cornered by a few people. It's literally absurd and in reality, unfortunately, a cruel joke on a supposedly democratic country, which it is not.

4. We should just call it "The Ginny Court"

6. K&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

5. IMO two things could be done by the democrats. Expand the court and dump the

filibuster and let the chips fall where they might. Many worry, oh, what will the GOP then do if they get in power again ... my reasoning is that by not doing this democratic initiatives the masses would like do not get accomplished, thereby possibly helping the GOP win when they say dems could not get anything done.

15. If Republicans win the House but Democrats retain the Senate in 2022 would you still support

getting rid of the filibuster?

[RKP5637]

16. Perhaps! n/t

[kelly1mm]

19. Why would there be any doubt? If the filibuster is an anachronism, a jim crow relic, and

anti-democratic as the arguments I keep reading here keep stating, why would it matter who had the House? A better question would be if the Republicans win the House and the Senate should we still push to eliminate the filibuster? If not are we not just playing politics with the issue and not standing on principle ?

7. I don't think we could get the votes to impeach Clarence.

But I do like the idea of expanding the court. Nine justices was set at a time when there were only 9 federal circuits. Time to expand, IMO, to have the same number of justices as we have circuits.

[RKP5637]

10. K&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[yourout]

12. I want one per state...

Plus DC and Puerto Rico.
52.
And while they are at it. No more life time appointments with a rotating roster from appeals courts.

[Scottie Mom]

17. I would like to see the number based on population, which I think is like the number of...

...present federal circuits.

I agree with representation for DC and Puerto Rico and, further, no life time appointment.

Not sure about a rotating roster...have to think about that.

8. You forgot, "Term Limit".

[Dustlawyer]

9. I bet Lindsey could implicate Clarence's wife!

[EYESORE 9001]

11. And that's why Clarence Thomas should recuse himself

instead of leaping to the defense of treasonous shitweasels like Lindsey Graham.

[Irish_Dem]

22. That is what I am thinking too.

Lindsey has some dirt on Ginny.

[SoCalDavidS]

14. Can't Impeach & Can't Expand

It just causes frustration to suggest ideas that have ZERO chance of success.

It takes 2/3rds of the Senate to remove a Justice. Let me know when that's possible.

It takes 60 Votes in the Senate to avoid a Filibuster and expand the Court. Let me know when that's possible.

Then we can talk.

18. This is what should be on the USSC Website, IMO:

20. Ooh, that's good.

Would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.

[Scottie Mom]

21. Exactly! EOM
