@rbreich

YES!. The GOP will and the indifferent America will also!

@rbreich Judging by the entirety of American history it seems unlikely that there will be any consequences at all.

@rbreich probably

@rbreich what can we actually do? I mean other than complain. They don’t seem to give a crap if it’s ethical or not anymore and complaints seem to fall of deaf ears.

@rbreich I mean… Kinda, yeah. The so-called “party of law and order and accountability” is anything but.

@rbreich so far, yes, yes we are. And it imperils the entire federal bench that nothing is being done.

@rbreich
The GOP and media has allowed Clarence Thomas's wife Ginnie to escape TREASON charges along with about 1/4 of sitting GOP members over election lies and coup planning!. Real journalists would still be all over it asking where are the charges?

@rbreich yes. There are zero consequences for corruption in this country. He will absolutely get away with it.

@rbreich Sorry asking if "we" are going to let him get away with it, is kind of like asking my kid if he is going to let my roofer get away with doing a shoddy job.
Ask the dude in the white house.
Ask the people in the senate

@rbreich Yes. I'm going with yes.

@rbreich how do we stop him?

@rbreich Well, the Nation did sit back and allow him to be confirmed years ago despite overwhelming disqualifying information……made public and undisclosed……….
This is the meticulously documented book: Strange Justice, The Selling of Clarence Thomas. Authors: Jane Mayer & Jill Abramson, 1994

@rbreich Yes, we are going to let him get away with it.

@rbreich Yup. I'd bet a substantial amount on it, in the unlikely event I found anyone who'd take me up on it.

@rbreich The #RadicalRight #GOP has shown that their only interest is gaining/maintaining power and damn the consequences... For the same reason we will likely see the #insurrectionist #DonaldTrump become the #Republican nominee ...

@rbreich Do we have the power to stop it?

As long as Biden refuses to expand the Court he’s got full impunity.

@rbreich but🤷🏽

@rbreich https://tenor.com/bdnR5.gif

@rbreich most likely.

@rbreich it would appear so. The people with any power whatsoever to do anything about it are all sitting on their hands

@rbreich
Almost certainly, yes.

@rbreich

Do you have specific action items that we can do that have a non-zero chance of holding him accountable?

I ask as a #Texan with traitorous representation in Washington.

Reaching out to my senators is a waste of my limited resources. and I don't have mental bandwidth to come up with a plan.

@rbreich like Scalia you mean?

@rbreich Yes.

@rbreich Are we really going to let him get away with his ongoing horrific corruption? @senatedems @potus @housedemocrats @chuckschumer @amyklobuchar

@rbreich

How are corrupt judges removed? CAN they be removed by force?

This lifetime appointment thing has also got to stop.

@rbreich hi

@rbreich

Get a good lawyer and sue? 😉

@rbreich The corrupt protect the corrupt.

@rbreich where’s Carlos when you really, really need him?

@rbreich sad to say we will, and we will lose our democracy before abandoning delusions of easy riches and fame.

@rbreich No, but Dick Durbin is.

@rbreich We will, because people don’t understand or care about the things which don’t immediately impact them in their current moment.
