Democrats Should Go on the Offensive Against the Supreme Court - The Rude Pundit

Last week, the Supreme Court not only decided to hear Trump's appeal of the ironclad, unanimous ruling by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that "no, you motherfucker, you're not fucking immune from crimes because you were president, what fucking bullshit is that, get the fuck out of our court, fuck" or words to that effect, while legal scholars across the political spectrum agreed, adding "Go fuck yourself. You're not a king." But the high court took over two weeks to make that decision and, instead of saying, "We know both sides are ready to go. Let's do this," set the week April 22 as when they'll hear the case. Then it might not rule until some fuckin' time in June.
It was such obvious election interference in Trump's favor that you almost have to respect how blatant the whole thing was, like a coordinated effort to bring a dictatorship into being. They are doing everything they can to push the January 6 case back as far as possible, to after the election, if they can, because they've put a hold on the case progressing until they rule. It's fucked beyond fucked, and I'm kind of pissed that liberal Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson didn't at least issue a dissent, if not spill all the tea about what the hell is going on.
So, fuck it. The Judiciary is co-equal, right? Democratic leaders should act like it and go on the attack. They should call into question the ethics of all of the conservatives, especially that dick Clarence Thomas, whose wife was literally coordinating with people during the insurrection. They should demand an explanation for why the case was taken, since none was given. They should organize protests and behave like the court has gone rogue because the court has fucking well gone rogue against democracy. (Although, for fuck's sake, don't show up at their houses or SWAT them. Just fucking don't.)

Incest and all.
That's still legal isn't it?
But unlike other two branches, though, Supreme Court justices are not democratically accountable to the people, and officially hold themselves immune to public pressures. Doesn't mean the public can't try, though; like you said, public pressure should be lawful and not defamatory, full of "fighting words" or fraudulent use of SWATs.
Just know there's always been a larger context to all this...
Judicial Independence is foundational and historical...
One judicial independence metric is the high court independence index in the V-Dem Dataset,
The thing is, Trump will run whether he's convicted before or after the GE because of this court.
The other thing is, either way he's gonna lose. So chill.
These four (in)justices will do what they do, explain it, and we'll be done with them until we win the general election trifecta. I could be wrong, but I'm not.
After we win for democracy we can have Democrats expand the SC to thirteen.
We got this.
