Alito is actually suggesting that immunity makes sense to avoid retribution from political opponents in a close election

How about NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

Some of these arguments from the MALE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES are that "grand juries", can indict anyone without necessary substance.

What are they suggesting? That the president who tried to overturn an election in front of everyone's lying eyes is without merit?

This is so depressing.

They are sickening ignorant trump cultists.

I don't think they have an ounce of common sense.

suggest the SC may not be able to resolve the immunity case. Depressing indeed.

I don't think these bastards are so much invested in Trump as they are in dictatorship - Barr's Unitary Executive Theory. Probably a Leo brand.

Like RGB, Sotomayor and other very high caliber Justices who have notably served us on the United States Supreme Court are to be admired and held in high regard. That said, there are others like Alito and many others that I run around with my mouth wide open and eyes wide open, when I hear their thinking on things of great import. Just because you somehow weaselled your way onto the Supreme Court, doesn’t mean you’re really any fucking good.

Just because you got elected president, with Putin’s help of course, doesn’t mean you’re any fucking good. We have to stop putting people on pedestals when they don’t deserve it. The true test of anybody is whatever field they’re in, are they any good at it. Mic drop.

About which “Strip Search Sammy” Alito said nothing when Trump and the Reich-wing screamed “Lock her up!” during - a close election.
