    Impeach Thomas for undue influence and seditious activity. Same for Alito. Boof for perjury, not sure what to do with Gorsuch and The Handmaiden yet.

      Innocent until proven guilty; if Gorsuch and Barrett suck but haven’t done anything objectively, legally wrong then we need to give them a pass for now. Otherwise, it delegitimizes the very legitimate cases against Thomas and Alito. I think Kavanaugh has worse skeletons than perjury to go after. He had mountains of debt that conveniently vanished right around the time he was nominated, and I can’t definitively say that that’s evidence that he was bought and paid for but I can tell you that if he were bought and paid for that this is one of only a few avenues that it would happen through. He absolutely should not have been confirmed and there should’ve already been an investigation into whether he’s beholden to anybody due to financial insecurity. It’s why you get a credit check in addition to a background check before you can have any kind of security clearance. After all, we wouldn’t want to have anybody stealing and selling classified documents and national security secrets, would we? 🙃

        Yeah. Barrett has been only real terrible, not the ultra-terrible i expected. Gorsuch’s seat is stolen, but I guess that’s not his fault as such. Let’s go with the plan as-stated.

        How’s that trebuchet-into-the-sun going? That ready yet?
