I think all of the "conservative" justices are corrupt. And Gorsuch and Barrett are in stolen seats. The chief justice is the least obviously corrupt, but that doesn't mean much. I hate the idea that they will slow walk their decision so the J6 trial won't happen before the election. Today's supreme court goes against everything I was ever taught to believe about them. It is all sickening.
Truth be told, I really would like to kick Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and--especially--Alito in their miserable privates! I am appalled at their rampant corruption and ridiculous arguments about this trial setting a bad precedent for future courts. I don't know how Sotomayer, Kagan and Jackson can abide daily contact with these deficient human beans. Just wait until The Orange Menance loses bigly in November and they will have to live in ignominy. Can't wait!
I never thought "The Manchurian Candidate" (1960's version) would become reality. When is DJT going to be called out on abusing the judicial system? It's like the Supreme Court is his personal Muni court.
Now he has been named "unindicted co-conspirator" in the Arizona election fraud case. The depth of his criminality may take decades to uncover.
I have seen how the American people have always suffered when a Republican was in the White House. Those states run by Republicans are in the lowest ranks of earnings and education.
"The Donald" shows what can happen when one goes beyond a decent or comfortable living. The quest for more money and more power is intoxicating but ultimately fatal.
So much of our government has been poisoned by him. Poisoned by greed. Poisoned by evil.
One day there will be no Donald Trump. But there may be someone just as bad. We are the ones who have to fight to preserve Democracy.
Are Trump claims of presidential immunity only for him or is Biden free to do whatever he wants. Become King Biden? Send in Seal Team 6 to assassinate his opponent? It’s so ridiculous. The Supreme Court shouldn’t have even taken it up, but we have federalists on this Supreme Court who want to go out on their yachts and private jets and must please those who put them on the Supreme Court.
MARY - JUST ONE MORE BOMBSHELL THAT I THINK YOUR READERS SHOULD ALL BE AWARE OF - THE FACT THAT TWO WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS (SARAH SANDERS & HOPE HICKS) BOTH DISCUSSED THE NEED TO EXTEND THE HUSH MONEY DEAL WITH KAREN MCDOUGAL
I grew up with the greatest respect, admiration and above all trust in the Court. But like so much else from my childhood, this has now vanished for parts unknown.
I think the New York case is important because like the national enquirer people love this kind of soap opera drama and trump is not projecting that he’s any kind of great guy. He projects an unappealing ugliness. He could lose a lot of votes. He’s the bad guy in this story, and definitely not the strongman that he imagines he is. The judge controls him.
Even though I always cringe at the thought of what becomes of our country, I very much appreciate your easy to comprehend posts about what happens during the trial, Mary! Thank you!
The conservative-reactionary Justices have only one goal in mind: to come up with some new test of the difference between official and unofficial acts so they can return the case to the district court for determinations of which bowl Trump's actions fall into. That will require hearings, rulings and of course Trump appeals. The net result is sufficient delay to prevent any trial in the interference case before Judge Chutkan before the election. A major win for Trump though the hard work of his ward healers on the Supreme Court who are always looking for a favor to do for Donald. I found today's oral argument to be the most disgusting one I have ever heard since the Justices were only looking for a way to derail Trump's coup trial. But wouldn't it be delicious if Biden wins re-election and Democrats win control of House and Senate, get rid of the obnoxious filibuster and then pass a statute to increase the Supreme Court to Thirteen Justices so that truth, justice and the American Way can once again prevail.
So if SCOTUS finds Donnie can assassinate his rivals, that means Biden can too?

I’d like to see Biden test the immunity. As an official act he should arrest Trump as a traitor or something like that.
YES! I have thought Biden should expand the court since the very start! It is THE only way to insure any justice!
Mary, thank you for 2 in-depth columns today! 💙
I agree with you on your assessment of the ILLEGITIMATE Supreme Court.

SCOTUS has me incredibly upset. I just can’t believe what’s going down there.
