If everyone keeps pushing her she will have a breakdown on camera that she will never live down.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Alito added that she has designed her own flag in her head, which she wants to have made and flown. It features the Italian word “vergogna,” which means shame.
No no no. You don't get to just use italian whenever you want to veil your shithead sense of self worth. You leave a romance language out of this and put that shit in plain English.
It's like conservatives using "Let's Go Brandon" so that they avoid the appearance of impropriety, when really, they're just self-censoring because they're too scared to say it outright.
supreme court justices have lifetime job security to prevent corruption.
every other position in every other part of the government has term limits to prevent corruption.
edit: apparently people are having a problem with the point I'm trying to make. my point is that minimizing corruption is the supposed reasoning for term limits but also lifetime appointment, which are exact opposites.
obviously neither can prevent corruption as we can clearly see both kinds of positions hold lots of corrupt people. but at least elected officials can in theory be held accountable for their corruption in elections. supreme court justices answer to no one. for life. that's fucked up.
No, corruption is not the reason. They have lifetime appointments to Be independent of political leaders and to be above politics
For example, Trump maybe have appointed all too many and they may even cackle greedily while doing his bidding, but they’ll be there long after Trump is gone, doing their thing, with no ties to any remaining political leaders. Independent of politics. This is why appointing someone capable is more important than appointing a lackey, at least historically
the supreme court has never been apolitical since its inception, and it never will. people hold beliefs and opinions and that makes up their political views. they don't suddenly become empty vessels when they're appointed to any position, lifetime or not.
i don't get how appointing a lackey is supposed to be a bad idea. if anything, lifetime appointment makes it more important to appoint lackeys so your "rule" stays long after your term.
Term limits absolutely don't prevent corruption.
I'd say they limit the impact of corruption.
Because new people can't be corrupt? For the record, George Santos was one of the newest members of Congress.
Just because you don't know their names doesn't mean they're clean.

So your answer is to just let known corruption continue.
How does that solve anything?
Term limits go both ways. They can introduce or reduce corruption. In general I think they add corruption, even if they wouldn't right this moment.
I'd rather pack the court or find another solution to fix corruption in the current court.
no, but they can surely end it sometime. a president can be corrupt but they have to fuck off after 8 years max. alito can say fuck democracy, blame his wife for it and live the rest of his life doing his best to ruin yours.
No, it means they can be as corrupt as they want because they're unaccountable to anyone. They never have to be reelected and there's no mechanism for removing them, or even establishing and enforcing rules. They've found the Ultimate Loophole.
that's my point
A trigger is a mechanism of sorts.
Alito used to be Scalia's bitch, but his wife has taken over the position since he died, it seems.
She talks just like my Karen boomer aunt. It's always extreme revenge because they can't handle that no one pays any attention to them anymore. Oh, you hate LGBTQ people? Good for you. No one cares and Hollywood will keep doing their thing. They're irrelevant. It drives them insane.
Unbelievable that the reason why the Supreme Court is intentionally delaying Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump's treason trial and supporting the GOP's War on Democracy is because Alito and his wife hate gays.
This woman has a lot of time on her hands.
