Democrats Must Take Strong Action On Alito And Thomas NOW!

Rubin and Elie Mystal discussed the shocking revelation that Supreme Court Justice flew a reversed “Stop the Steal” flag on his front lawn as the court was considering a 2020 election case. The revelation came not long after we learned that Justice Clarence Thomas gives the distinct appearance of having broken the law by dodging taxes on a forgiven RV loan.

It's long overdue for Democrats to stop wringing their hands and start doing something about it.

Mystal noted that it was already obvious from Alito’s and Thomas’ written opinions and comments at oral arguments that they support the insurrection and are doing everything they can to help Trump evade prosecution and accountability for his crimes. “That’s what they’ve always been,” Mystal said. The question now is, “what are the rest of us going to do about it?” he asked.

Rubin had some excellent ideas. First, she pointed out that Alito ran to Fox News, which you could argue was part of the Stop the Steal movement, to plead his case. More importantly, she also pointed out that Alito was not flying a pro-Trump flag, he flew a flag sympathizing with the overthrow of the Constitution, “a clear violation of his oath.”

Then she suggested we all insist on an end to the “mambsy-pambsy” response from Democrats that has gotten us nowhere.
