Congress should subpoena Alito, Barrett and Kavanaugh

[Tomconroy]

and have them explain why they lied at their confirmation hearings.
When they whine they are immune explain it's a preliminary inquiry into whether they should be impeached for committing perjury.
They should be made to pay a price.

1. But, but they didn't lie because they never said out loud at the hearings they would overturn Roe

[FBaggins]

6. They could also point to dozens of Democrats who voted against them

Almost every one of whom said that they knew that judge would vote to overturn Roe so they couldn't support them.

2. Impeach, not subpoena. Also, I think Alito and Thomas are also guilty there.

[Ocelot II]

3. Their defense will be:

"I wasn't lying at the time of my confirmation hearing when I said I Roe was established precedent I would respect, but after reading the briefs and hearing the oral argument in Dobbs I changed my mind." That's bullshit, of course; they were all hand-picked by the Federalist Society and vetted carefully to be sure they would vote to ditch Roe, but it would almost impossible to prove they were lying.

4. I changed my mind as many politicians and even Supreme Court justices

like justices Souter and Stevens. Exact words from them. Take it to the bank.

[FBaggins]

5. Congress lacks the power to compel a co-equal branch of government in that way

When they whine they are immune explain it's a preliminary inquiry into whether they should be impeached for committing perjury.

And when that question is brought up... who do you imagine rules on it?

[Tomconroy]

8. The idea is to make them sweat. Congress has subpoena power.

Let them make up an opinion to save themselves

MAKE THEM PAY A PRICE.

[FBaggins]

9. Congress' subpoena power is not unlimited

And guess who gets the final word?

Attempting to influence the court (i.e., "making them sweat" ) is unlikely to look better for us than them

[Tomconroy]

13. Republicans plot coups. Democrats are afraid to serve

a subpoena.
FDR would have had this. So would Tip O'Neill.

7. Telling Lies during confirmation...Is against the Law? Ain't it?

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

10. There is no way to prove they lied

See Ocelot II's post above, they explain it perfectly.

[Tomconroy]

14. That isn't the point. That's a lawyers point.

FDR knew how to deal with a recalcitrant court. He may have lost a battle.
He won the war.

11. Are judges permitted to decide the outcomes of cases they haven't yet heard ?

Seems like that would be problematic.

I wouldn't be permitted to serve on a jury if I stated I had already decided the verdict before the trial was started. I wouldn't think a judge could either

[Irish_Dem]

12. They will just lie some more and say they changed their minds.
