Ever since the New York Times ran with the "Alito's flag" story (that the Washington Post passed up on years ago) the Democrats have insisted that the conservative Supreme Court recuse himself from any cases involving January 6th.
Such laughable bullsh!t. Infantile Democrats concoct a ridiculous fable about an American Revolutionary flag just so they can try to personally smear Justice Alito with their fantasies. Well, guess what, you dumbass Democrats? This same flag was flown by your beloved BLM movement ...
... and you hypocrites did not utter a peep. You're buffoons.
Because they're awful and shameless, Democrat Sens. Whitehouse and Durbin have combined their swamp scum powers and have been referring to flags once spotted at Alito's house and vacation home as "MAGA battle flags" (by that ridiculous definition San Francisco was "MAGA Country" until just recently).
Whitehouse and Durbin are hoping nobody's ever heard of that whole "separate but equal branches" thing and have been threatening to regulate the Supreme Court and have been demanding a meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts:
Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) ~ Let’s be clear: Chief Justice Roberts could establish an enforceable code of conduct today… if he wanted to.
But, he’s refused.
So long as he does, we will continue our investigation and pursue an enforceable code of conduct.
Maybe these clowns should focus on the code of conduct of their own branch of government.
Yeah, Durbin ... you could start with an investigation into the very real possibility of treason committed by Rep. Swalwell (D-CA) with the ChiCom spy Fang Fang. And, you might also want to look into Sen. Whitehouse's long-time membership in a whites-only club. But first, you and Whitehouse should really take a remedial course in Civics 101.
Roberts has responded and told Whitehouse and Durbin to pound sand, but in a somewhat more polite way:
Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) ~ Chief Justice Roberts responds to Senators Durbin and Whitehouse. Thanks, but no thanks, to a meeting. “... would in inadvisable.”
That will trigger more Whitehouse and Durbin theatrical tantrums.
Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) ~ Closest you’re likely to get to seeing a Chief Justice bitch-slap a couple of Senators.
Yeah, translation: "Eat a bag of dicks, Dick."
Watching Whitehouse and Durbin get smacked down is endlessly entertaining.
Katrina Ski (@MtRushmore2016) ~ Shorter: ‘Senate, stay in your lane.’ Long Live our Separation of Powers!
Currently, one of Durbin and Whitehouse's Senate colleagues is on trial and facing corruption charges. So yes, these two clowns should clean out their own "lane" first.
Yep, Dick Durbin's glass house has a whole lotta shattered panes in it ...
