Of course, getting the facts out MIGHT not be their best legal defense. Better check with an expert like Rudy first. But for America, is it better to promptly forget about the Trumps, or to generate years of publicity for Trumpism by prosecuting them? The most fitting punishment would be to simply ignore him, like Harold Stassen or Lyndon LaRouche. That will happen eventually as others steal his spotlight, but not soon enough. == Trump's would-be successors in Trumpism are probably hoping that he will be neutralized in some way that doesn't reflect badly on them, though they can't say that out loud in public. After all, he is an asset on the campaign trail, even though a liability in office. Most likely they'll be making their cases privately to the major Trumpist donors, that they are the best investment for 2024. Could be intense - nights of long knives are part of the succession process in cults of personality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives A vicious self-serving opportunist at the top attracts vicious self-serving opportunists all the way down - obsequiously waiting for their chance to strike. But Ford, Bush, and Trump have set the examples of pardoning political crimes "to promote healing", so the risks may be low for these criminals. == topic justice 1 ===== comments 5 impact 818 impactrate 0 likeimpress 13 negative 0 posted 2020-11-17 priority 1 ratio 3 react 31 reactrate 0 shares 3 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 10 title Trump's life of crime - the statute of limitations has topic justice wordrate 0 words 264 audclicks 10 audreach 8 commentsimpress 5 commentsusers 5 engaged 23 ID 1294253324252517 impress 109 likeclickusers 20 likeimpress 13 likeuimpress 60 likeusers 12 likeuusers 54 matchedlinkclicks 3 matchedotherclicks 7 oimpress 109 oreach 96 posted "11/17/2020 08:56:28 PM" postlinkclicks 3 postotherclicks 5 reach 96 sharesimpress 3 sharesusers 3 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1294253324252517 ========== Judicial nominees love to avoid answering questions, making it hard to see the value in these confirmation hearings. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/13/amy-coney-barrett-faced-questions-trump-hovered-over-her-confirmation-hearings/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/14/us/barrett-supreme-court-independence.html It's hard to maintain your integrity once you've been endorsed by Trump. == A question senators should ask all the judicial nominees - is it ever right to steal children from their parents in order to raise them in a different religion? Not legal or illegal, but right or wrong. And then when nominees equivocate - even though this is not an issue likely to come before a court - ask Jared Kushner and Sheldon Adelson and all the other Jewish major Republican donors whether there is any room to equivocate on this issue.

That's somewhat higher than the percentage in the general population! (A sixth justice, Sotomayor, is Catholic but not conservative.)

It seems likely that Trump will nominate the most reactionary woman that he can find, and that McConnell, with the help of Trump's base, will get the Senate Republicans to go along. Some might spout their usual misgivings, but ultimately they'll get on board. What happens when the Democrats get a majority in the Senate? Some people think they should expand the size of the court so that additional liberal justices can be added. Biden says no, for reasons that will be obvious to everybody when the future Supreme Court is larger than Congress. There are other ideas though - https://www.npr.org/sections/death-of-ruth-bader-ginsburg/2020/09/20/915048049/if-republicans-confirm-new-justice-scholars-say-democratic-court-packing-is-poss But why not have term limits - active Supreme Court justices have terms of nine years. After that, they become senior justices and no longer vote on decisions or sign opinions for the court, but otherwise retain their offices for life in accordance with Article 3. The accumulated experience of senior justices would continue to be available to their colleagues without being binding. A justice nearing the end of his term might be nominated and confirmed for subsequent terms. Whether that would be the future norm is an interesting question. == Think of the bloodshed that might have been avoided if Roger Taney had been retired in 1844. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_B._Taney == topic justice ===== impact 22 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-09-21 ratio 13 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title What to do about the Supreme Court? topic justice wordrate 0 words 218 audclicks 1 audreach 1 engaged 1 ID 1245132955831221 impress 21 likeclickusers 1 likeuimpress 11 likeuusers 11 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 21 oreach 13 posted "09/21/2020 08:42:07 AM" postotherclicks 1 reach 13 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1245132955831221 ========== Our next Supreme Court justice. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/19/who-is-amy-coney-barrett/ At least she has a law degree.

The way of life the reactionaries imagine that they remember is evaporating around them, and the best they can do is install a reactionary judiciary to delay the inevitable. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/20/opinion/conservatives-supreme-court-2020.html And that might simply cause the Democrats to expand the court to 11 members as soon as they can, and admit Puerto Rico and DC as states as soon as they can. And much as the Republicans might cry "unfair" they know they'd do the same or worse if they had the chance - because they already had the chance, and they did. == The Supreme Court dispute simply reflects the broader dysfunction that too many voters on both sides believe this election is a fight for survival.
