      Action denied is just more evidence of their complicitness rather than supposed. Also makes it very clear who does operate for their constitutes and only for their self interest.

        Correct. This isn’t an open debate anymore - the bribes were accepted. Every no vote is a vote saying it’s ok to bribe the court.

          The people who need to be convinced to care already don’t care. The GOP isn’t going to help remove their staunchest pawns on the court.

            Especially not if in doing so Biden gets to appoint two judges. I mean honestly it wouldn’t be smart for them to do from their POV at least until another republican is in office.

      It’s not entirely meaningless. Her aim is to keep the justices recent rulings in the media so that voters are aware of them come Nov.

      AOC isn’t a dummy, and she’s knows that Johnson will immediately throw this in the trash.

      I’d like to see someone else do this next week, and then another person the week after, etc etc. keep doing it until Nov. Keep reminding voters about the corruption.

      Yep this is as performative as the GOP threatening impeachment of Mayorkas. I get why she’s doing it but it’s going to be dead by Friday.
