Alito no longer even tries to hide partisanship.

It seems that Alito and the other cons on the court no longer have to even try and pretend that they are non-partisan, with an apparent hatred for liberals and Democrats. I have often said that this court is now just an arm of the GOP and now they are showing it openly with no pretense. And the cons on the court wonder why more and more of a majority of Americans no longer see them a nonpartisan and nonpolitical, or believe in the decisions they make as having anything to do with the constitution. Their decisions are now seen as strictly conservative political decisions. I think they refuse to see the truth, they are the ones who are ruining our country and turning it into the world's largest shooting gallery, as well as making women once again second class citizens.
 
If you take the worst fear of what a Supreme Court Justice can be, people who get to be untouchable lifetime figures who get to order the Congress, the military, the president, and the American people at their whim, to override anyone else, who get to re-write the constitution to say it means whatever they want and who follow corrupt or overly ideological agenda in using that power, who are unaccountable terrors of power; people who have forgotten the limitations Justices are expected to follow to avoid being such monsters; you would find the current radical right Justices starting to approach and resemble that terrible type of Justice. They 'have the power', and they want to use it. They are groomed as radicals to overthrow the constitution following a radical ideology, with billions spent to groom and put them there, and they can't wait. They are radical right revolutionaries, essentially.

Nevermind how they got there. People tended to forget how Hitler came to power once he had it, they tended to forget how Bush 43 came to power once he had it.

I posted a very good speech by Sen. Whitehouse talking about the issue, which no one would watch, so I doubt there's much point in discussing this.

SCOTUS can be impeached. Just answering your question of what could be done.
 
Went hunting for a youtube of Alito's address at Federalist Society. The 2020 address is up. But not this one yet. I would really like to see his entire address as the linked piece left me wanting.

With the GOP backing them, it will n3ver happen. They could come and give a speech before the GOP presidential convention and we could do zippo.

Worse. They are just an arm of Trumpism.
