Supreme Court Justice now trashing the grand jury process

Does Alito have a single redeeming feature? raises “the old saw about indicting a ham sandwich” presumably to further Trump lawyer batshit argument it is a slippery slope if a former president ever held accountable for criminal conduct.

Alito: Skeptical of layers of protection in criminal justice system. Projecting bad faith? SC: Advice of AG, grand jury finding of probable cause. Alito, a former prosecutor of all people, says a grand jury can indict a Jan sandwich. Cynical, hypocritical, and wrong.

...Alito questions the legitimacy of every other level of justice's authority except his branches's own.

1. It is just bullshit. The overturning of an election in front of everyone's eyes, is NOT AN UNFAIR

USE OF THE GRAND JURY

This is pure insanity.

2. Criminals protecting other criminals.

The supreme court is corrupt.

Having Clarence Thomas sitting in on this case proves it.

That piece of shit should be charged with accepting bribes.

His wife should be charged with an attempted coup and aiding and abetting fake electors.

3. Apparently, a court that doesn't believe in courts

Some of them truly have no business being Justices

4. it's an amazing admission that they believe we're all subservient to them

...and their seemingly unchallengable authority.

They're destroying any comity they might have enjoyed from the other branches, and are angling to become entrenched and isolated, just crafting decisions to manufacture their own relevance.

5. I heard two of them invoke the ham sandwich

trope.
